Guess what? Another week where BDC common stock prices went nowhere. Again, the UBS Traded Note which covers 36 of the 45 stocks in our universe, ticker BDCS, was essentially flat.
BDCS closed at $19.88, from $19.85 the week before. Outside the major markets rage up and down in price depending on their latest view on tariffs, the economy, impending war in the Middle East etc.
Up to a point, BDC prices move in tandem, but by week’s end we end back where we started. 15 stocks were up in price, and 30 were unchanged or down.

Momentum slowed in the new-issue loan market last week, with the uncertainty surrounding U.S.-China trade negotiations leaving market participants in wait-and-see mode heading into the weekend. While time-sensitive business continues apace, arrangers readying opportunistic deals appeared to be taking a more deliberate approach as events play out on the international stage. Yet high-yield issuance came at a breakneck pace—the $12 billion output was the highest-volume week in almost two years—as U.S. Treasury yields fell. Moreover, the broad secondary markets took the week’s events in stride, with earnings continuing to drive situational movers.
