WhiteHorse Finance, Inc. (WHF) Latest News
21 Sep
WhiteHorse Finance Inc. (WHF), a non-diversified closed-end management investment company that originates and invests in senior secured loans to lower-middle-market U.S. companies, announced a quarterly dividend of $0.25 per share, with an ex-dividend date of 2026-09-21 and a payout date of 2026-10-05. The stock currently yields about 15.5% on a trailing basis and about 13.5% forward, suggesting investors may face a lower distribution ahead. The dividend history stretches back to 2012 and remains quarterly, but the payout ratio as of 2026-06-30 is 1.45, meaning more than earnings are paid out. Growth metrics look weak: five-year EBITDA down 19.6%; three-year EPS down ~3% per year; three-year revenue down ~1.8% per year. The company has positive net income for a decade, yet sustainability concerns persist given flat-to-negative growth and a stretched payout. Investors should monitor upcoming results for any stabilization signals. Payout ratio above 1.0 and weak growth metrics imply meaningful ongoing sustainability risks for distributions.
