Upside

Reiterated

2023-01-17

We are maintaining our Outperform rating on Ares Capital Corporation (ARCC) and our target price is unchanged at $20.50/share. The company’s recent equity raise could lower leverage modestly while having no material impact on earnings or our expectations for dividend distributions in 2023. We believe ARCC is likely to outperform the group credit performance (net credit performance, not necessarily headline non-accrual rates) and generate above-average NAV/Share trends over the next 12-18 months.
