Uncovering Potential: WhiteHorse Finance's Earnings Preview

Shares of WhiteHorse Finance Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WHF#NASDAQ">WHF</a>) remained volatile after the company announced its fourth-quarter results.
The company's dividend policy is in focus after its NII (net interest income) fell short of expectations, according to JPMorgan.
The WhiteHorse Finance Analyst: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/5f117a5099d25a0001e0ff6c/melissa-wedel">Analyst Melissa Wedel</a> reaffirmed an Underweight rating, while reducing the price target from $9.50 to $9.00.
The WhiteHorse Finance Thesis: The company reported its fourth-quarter NII at 34 cents per share. It missed the consensus of 39 cents per share.
NAV (net asset value) declined by 3.6% sequentially to $12.31 per share, Wedel said in a note.
Check out <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings">other analyst stock ratings</a>.
Management declared a regular quarterly distribution of 38.5 cents per share for the first quarter, the analyst stated. 
She added, however, that management indicated they were still evaluating the portfolio's earnings power in the near to medium term, which leaves some doubts about the dividend being reduced, "especially with $28.4M of spillover income remaining after the special dividend was paid in 4Q."
The board may also decide to "use spillover income to supplement NII and support the dividend at current levels," Wedel stated. 
"In either scenario, we expect investors will remain focused on dividend coverage through NII and credit trends with headwinds to multiple expansion until dividend coverage through NII is achieved and NAV stabilizes," she further wrote.
Price Action: Shares of WhiteHorse Finance had declined by 0.6% to $9.98 at the time of publication on Monday.

Earnings Beats

WhiteHorse Finance Q1 2024 Adj EPS $0.47 Beats $0.46 Estimate, Sales $25.475M Beat $24.880M Estimate

Wednesday marks the last chance for investors to receive the next dividend payout from WhiteHorse Finance (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WHF#NASDAQ">WHF</a>). 
<h3>What's Happening</h3>
The company announced on Thursday that it would pay shareholders a quarterly dividend of 38.5 cents per share. On Thursday, WhiteHorse Finance will go ex-dividend, meaning the stock will trade lower to reflect that payout.

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, Thursday. Shareholders who own WHF as of the end of Wednesday's session are eligible to receive the 38.5 cents dividend payout for every share that they own. 
According to the company, this dividend will be paid out to shareholders on April 02, 2024. Investors will then be able to either reinvest those dividends back into the stock or use the payment in some other way.
