NewTek Business Services Corp. Common Stock (NEWT) has been a significant part of the engine of our portfolios.
Historically, they have had a high and reliable return, which is why we regularly invested in the company. Over time, they came to make up a larger part of our portfolio, more precisely 7.5%.
They announced in mid-November that they have received approval from the Federal Reserve to become a bank holding company and a financial holding company by acquiring National Bank of New York City (NBNYC).
This is likely to reduce their future dividends. I have taken this into account in my forecast for future dividends in 2023.
I have reduced upcoming dividends in my spreadsheet from $0.7 which was their last to $0.5. Guess I'll have to tweak it even more in the future, but before they make an official announcement, I'll have to settle for now.
