WHF) stock’s latest price update
WhiteHorse Finance Inc (NASDAQ: WHF) has seen a decline in its stock price by -7.15 in relation to its previous close of 9.51. However, the company has experienced a -4.23% decline in its stock price over the last five trading sessions. seekingalpha.com reported 2025-06-10 that WHF’s portfolio quality continues to deteriorate, with non-accruals rising to 8.8% and earnings declining, justifying my ongoing sell rating. Despite a 17% dividend yield and a 25.6% discount to NAV, I see these as reflections of risk and weak fundamentals, not buying opportunities. Net investment income fails to cover the dividend, and reliance on spillover income is unsustainable; a dividend cut appears likely and necessary.
