New Mountain Finance Corporation (NMFC) Insider, 13F Hedge Fund & Politician Buy/Sell Thermometer

Per the Roarable RQD rating, NMFC carries an RQD Score of 45 / D, labeled "Roarable Sell — Underperform / Distribution Warning." The five pillars are: Fundamental Cash Engine at 12 / 20 (ROIC 1.4%; FCF yield 0%); Whale 13F Flow at 8 / 20 (institutional accumulation and options positioning); Insider Conviction at 6 / 20 (SEC Form 4 and Congressional PTR cluster flow); Macro Regime Fit at 6 / 20 (Beta 1.0; sector sensitivity); and Forensic Balance Sheet at 13 / 20 (Altman Z 2.5; Piotroski F 4/9; Debt/Equity 0.5).

For a prospective investor, the weakest pillars are Insider Conviction and Macro Regime Fit, each at 6 of 20, followed by Whale 13F Flow at 8 of 20. The strongest pillar is Forensic Balance Sheet at 13 of 20, with the Fundamental Cash Engine at 12 of 20 close behind, though its ROIC of 1.4% and FCF yield of 0% weigh against it. Per the market data, the stock trades at a P/E (TTM) of 40.3 against EPS (TTM) of 0.17, a valuation the RQD rating frames as a tradeoff: the price implies expectations that the reported earnings base does not clearly support. The verdict label signals underperformance and distribution risk; an investor evaluating the stock today would weigh these pillar scores against the upside case described in the news section rather than treat any single pillar as decisive.

Per the recent news feed, the most prominent catalyst is a headline that the company announced an extension of its stock repurchase program, which another outlet reports as extended to $150 Million. Other items are analyst-style commentary: a StockInvest.us forecast article, a TradingView estimates piece, a Seeking Alpha note referencing NMFCZ and a yield-to-worst figure of 8.5%, and a Yahoo Finance valuation piece asking whether the stock is undervalued. All six items are tagged YELLOW with impact label MARKET WIRE. Per the Butterfly Supply-Chain Graph, the supply chain is NONE, with no butterfly links and no proprietary signals. Risk watch items per the RQD rating include the 1.4% ROIC, the 0% FCF yield, and the 40.3 trailing P/E relative to 0.17 EPS.

• What is the company's revenue and operating income, given that the source reports $0.0M for each period?

• What drives the decline in net income from $135.3M to $16.5M across the three reported years?
• Does the repurchase program extension to $150 Million reflect a view on intrinsic value, and how is it being funded?
