Prospect Capital has consistently failed to generate sufficient cash flow to cover dividends, leading to a significant risk of future dividend cuts. The company's NAV per share has declined substantially, eroding shareholder value due to poor financial management and unproductive investments. Issuing preferred stock has diluted common shareholders' value and further strained dividend coverage, with cash available for common dividends covering only 63% in FY 2024.
