Sixth Street Specialty Lending: Disappointed But Holding On
Sixth Street Specialty Lending (TSLX) remains a HOLD as Q1-26 results revealed negative clarity: NII missed, dividend was cut, and NAV fell sharply. TSLX's valuation is split—P/NII is historically expensive while P/NAV is historically cheap—reflecting market belief in both income and book value recovery. Portfolio quality concerns persist as Grade 2 watch-list loans rose to 9.4%, but non-accruals improved and leverage remains within target range.
