Ares Capital (Nasdaq:ARCC) is a leading Business Development Corporation (BDC) offering debt and equity capital to large and medium enterprises in a variety of sectors across the US. The company acquired the American Capital portfolio at the start of 2017, with the resulting increase in share count causing weaker than expected financial performance on a per share basis. All key financial metrics have improved over the course of 2017, which we project will continue in coming quarters supported by increasing interest rates, decreasing non-accruals (i.e. non-perforning loans) and funding optimizations.
