The dividend cut is the primary catalyst — PFLT is reducing its payout to align with lower NII, which will likely trigger income-focused selling. The $0.26 GAAP NII covers only ~84% of the new $0.08 monthly base ($0.24/quarter), suggesting further cuts are possible if NII continues to decline. Watch the May 8 conference call for commentary on portfolio credit trends and the pace of PSSL II ramp-up.
