Summary
- HTGC has recently announced plenty of good news and will likely be reporting strong results for Q3 and Q4 2018.
- In Q2 2018, NAV per share will likely increase by around 3% to 4% due to accretive share issuances, net realized/unrealized gains in companies including DocuSign, ForeScout, FanDuel and Tricida.
- However, I am not expecting HTGC to fully cover its dividend in Q2 2018 due to additional shares from the recent equity offering and higher prepayments in Q1 2018.
- Over the coming quarters, the company will easily cover its dividend due to the impacts from rising LIBOR, recently announced portfolio growth and lower amounts of prepayments in Q2 2018.
- HTGC currently pays a quarterly dividend of $0.31 per share that will likely be increased as its portfolio grows given its scalable internally managed cost structure and access to SBA leverage.
