The company lends money to growth-oriented or recession-proof businesses that can't get loans from banks. Gladstone currently has more than 100 investments in a variety of industries. Its portfolio includes... - An $11.5 million loan to Axios Industrial, a Texas-based maker of scaffolding and insulation - A $20.9 million loan to Imperative Holdings, a developer of oil and gas projects that's headquartered in Midland, Texas - A $10.1 million loan, $7 million preferred equity and some warrants in Salt & Straw, a Portland, Oregon-based ice cream maker with unique flavors like Chocolate Caramel Potato Chip Banana Bread, Strawberry Honey Balsamic with Black Pepper, and Pear & Blue Cheese.

So while I can tell you that the Pear & Blue Cheese ice cream is actually quite good (I've had it), I'll have to do a little work to see whether we can say the same about Gladstone's dividend. The company's net investment income has been steadily rising, which we like to see even more than we like to see chocolate combined with peanut butter. [Chart: Gladstone's Solid Net Investment Income Growth]( [View larger image]( Last year, Gladstone generated $41 million in net investment income while paying out $35.4 million in dividends for a payout ratio of 86%. Since BDCs must pay out at least 90% of their net income (which is different from net investment income), I'm comfortable with payout ratios of up to 100%. In 2024, net investment income is forecast to rise to $44.6 million, which would lower the payout ratio to 84%. But while Gladstone's track record of growing its net investment income is impressive, I do have one concern about its dividend history...
