In 2023, OCSL generated $125.2M in revenue, which was a increase of 220.11% from the previous year. This can be seen as a signal that OCSL's business is growing, and its share price could be worth more in the future. However, if the company grows faster (or slower) than expected, this could also have a major impact on the future share price.

Source - Seeking Alpha
Summary - BDCs have outperformed REITs since early 2022, but rising recession fears and declining long-term rates may lead to dividend cuts, as seen with a recent aggressive reduction by one BDC.
Why It Matters - BDCs' outperformance is at risk as declining long-term rates and recession fears may lead to dividend cuts, impacting income potential and investment decisions.
