Ares Capital Presents Compelling Income Investment Case
3.9
On January 15, 2026, the article summarizes a bullish thesis from OppCost on R. Dennis's Substack recommending Ares Capital (ARCC) as a core income investment. It notes ARCC's $30+ billion portfolio across 587 companies, a 9.4% dividend yield, NAV of $20.01 in Q3 2025, and a $20.48 share price on January 13, 2026. The note cites low 1.8% non‑accruals, spillover income supporting $1.26 dividend coverage, and a $23.50 fair value, arguing limited downside and income upside.
