Chicago Atlantic BDC, Inc. LIEN

This article first appeared on GuruFocus. Chicago Atlantic BDC Inc (NASDAQ:LIEN) recently announced a total dividend of $0.34 per share, with the ex-dividend date set for 2026-09-25. For value investors, the ex-dividend date is a critical marker: shareholders must own the stock before this date to qualify for the payment.

Six stocks are paying yields as high as 23% right now, but behind those numbers sit eroding asset values, razor-thin coverage ratios, and balance sheets that leave almost no room for error if rates or charter markets move the wrong way.

Ordinary dividends from BDCs, net-lease REITs, and foreign shippers carry a tax cost that hits every single distribution cycle without relief, and where you hold these positions determines whether that cost is permanent or entirely avoidable.

Five high-yield names have ex-dividend dates landing between September 21 and September 25, and the window to qualify for the next payment is closing by the day. Miss the cutoff and the seller keeps the cash, so knowing which names actually cover their payouts matters more than the yield number alone.

Strong net investment income and a robust $1.1 billion pipeline position the company for growth despite a temporary dip in origination activity.
