## Elevator Pitch

- Ares Capital is a very popular pick among many investors on Seeking Alpha due to its very high yields. But operational headwinds prevent me from being a bull:
- BDC sector dynamics are deteriorating.
- Leverage management is leading to equity dilution.
- Technical analysis also suggests a subdued outlook and negative alpha potential vs the S&P 500.
