On Friday, Keefe, Bruyette & Woods adjusted their outlook on TCP Capital (NASDAQ:TCPC), reducing the stock’s price target to $10.50 from the previous $11.50. The firm has opted to maintain a Market Perform rating on the stock. This adjustment follows TCP Capital’s disclosure of an estimated Net Asset Value (NAV) of $10.95 as of March 15, which marked the completion of its merger with BKCC.
The reported NAV represents an 8% decrease, or a $0.95 decline, compared to the value at the end of the fourth quarter of 2023. The firm noted that the markdowns were primarily observed in assets that were facing challenges.
Consequently, Keefe, Bruyette & Woods has revised its estimates and target price downward in response to the estimated decline in NAV and the recent credit challenges encountered by TCP Capital.
TCP Capital’s recent merger with BKCC has been a significant event for the company, and the updated NAV reflects the immediate financial impact of this transaction. The reduction in the stock price target to $10.50 aligns with the new NAV figures and the performance of certain assets within the company’s portfolio.
The decision by Keefe, Bruyette & Woods to maintain the Market Perform rating indicates their expectation that TCP Capital’s stock will perform in line with the broader market. The firm’s commentary does not suggest any change in the fundamental outlook for the company beyond the immediate financial adjustments post-merger.
Investors and market watchers will likely monitor TCP Capital’s performance closely in the coming quarters to assess the long-term impact of the merger and the company’s ability to navigate the credit challenges that have been highlighted.
