Why it may matterVerify against the original reporting

Positive Q2 metrics (NAV up to 17.27, stable $0.30/sh NII, dividend maintained) reduce discount risk and improve income visibility. Historically, NAV stability and attractive distributions can tighten discount modestly; the low leverage adds resilience in varied credit cycles, supporting near-term price strength for MCI.
