Recent MRCC news often saw price moves that aligned with the underlying tone: negative fundamentals and transaction updates drew selling, while dividend and merger announcements tended to see modest gains.
Over the last six months, MRCC reported Q2 and Q3 2025 results, announced a two-step asset sale and merger with Horizon Technology Finance, and maintained then later adjusted its dividend policy. Q2 results on Aug 11 highlighted lower NAV and income but a maintained $0.25 dividend, while Q3 results on Nov 5 showed further net losses and NAV pressure. Prior distribution news on Sep 10 set a $0.25 payout. Today’s lower $0.18 distribution and wind-down language follow that strategic transition toward the HRZN merger and asset sale.
