<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

With interest rates remaining at their highest levels in over two decades, and with U.S. Treasury bonds comfortably exceeding a 4% yield, an increasing number of investors are turning their attention to the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-buy-corporate-bonds">realm of corporate bonds. </a>
In this landscape, they seek not only promising yield opportunities but also the strategic advantage of diversifying away from equity investments.
The Financial Times recently reported that inflows into corporate bond funds have surged to $22.8 billion in 2024, marking the first positive start to a year since 2019. 
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Corporate Bonds: Investment Grade Vs. High Yield</h3>
Corporate bonds come in two main types: investment-grade and high-yield. Investment-grade bonds are issued by financially stable companies, while high-yield (or speculative grade) bonds come from riskier firms but offer higher returns.
Rating agencies like S&amp;P, Fitch and Moody&#8217;s determine which category a bond falls into based on the issuer&#8217;s ability to repay debts. Ratings range from AAA (very safe) to D (in default).
For example, companies like Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>), Amazon Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>), Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>), Eli Lilly Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LLY#NYSE">LLY</a>) and Walt Disney Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DIS#NYSE">DIS</a>) are rated as investment grade. 
Conversely, firms like AMC Entertainment Holdings Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMC#NYSE">AMC</a>), Office Property Income Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/OPI#NYSE">OPI</a>) and Navient Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NAVI#NASDAQ">NAVI</a>) belong to the speculative-grade world.

The cutoff between investment-grade and high-yield is at the BB+ rating. Anything below BB+ is considered high yield, while BBB- or higher is investment-grade.
In general, the riskier the bond, the higher the potential return. Investment-grade bonds tend to offer lower yields because they are safer bets, with stronger financial health and better chances of repayment.
However, even within the realm of investment-grade bonds, there are opportunities to find attractive yields from companies with solid fundamentals. 
This allows investors to earn better returns without taking on excessive risk, compared to investing solely in ultra-safe U.S. Treasuries.

<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Prospect Capital has grown since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to fall in the near-term but traders should be aware that more shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing Prospect Capital's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Prospect Capital's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 2.51%, which means the company has more short interest than most of its peers.

Looking Into Prospect Capital's Recent Short Interest

Friday marks the last chance for investors to receive the next dividend payout from Prospect Capital (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PSEC#NASDAQ">PSEC</a>). 
<h3>What's Happening</h3>
The company announced on Thursday that it would pay shareholders a monthly dividend of 6 cents per share. On Monday, Prospect Capital will go ex-dividend, meaning the stock will trade lower to reflect that payout. In other words, the stock will likely open 6 cents lower than it would have opened on any other day.
In order to be eligible to receive a company's dividend, shareholders must own the stock prior to the ex-dividend date—in this case, Monday. Shareholders who own PSEC as of the end of Friday's session are eligible to receive the 6 cents dividend payout for every share that they own. 
According to the company, this dividend will be paid out to shareholders on March 20, 2024. Investors will then be able to either reinvest those dividends back into the stock or use the payment in some other way.
