Ares Capital (NASDAQ: ARCC) typically trades at a premium to its book value. However, the largest publicly traded business development company (BDC) currently trades at around $18.50 per share, while its book value as of June 30, 2026, stands at $19.35 per share, implying a 4.3% discount to net asset value (NAV). Next week, this BDC reports earnings. I would wait for that report, but if two key metrics prove satisfactory, consider it a strong opportunity for income-focused investors, particularly those on the hunt for high-yield dividend stocks, given its 10.4% forward dividend yield.
