As long as the dividend is well covered, it is six of one and a half dozen of the other to me, knocking the price down with a secondary, or keeping a lid on it selling over 17 million shares in under three months. As for after hours, I could only guess. Maybe because their NAV went down ten cents, or maybe because their EPS is lumpy. Here is one view: "Prospect Capital Earnings: Here’s Why the Stock is Down Now Results: Adjusted Earnings Per Share decreased 49.02% to $0.26 in the quarter versus EPS of $0.51 in the year-earlier quarter. Revenue: Rose 36.96% to $120.2 million from the year-earlier quarter. Actual vs. Wall St. Expectations: Prospect Capital Corporation reported adjusted EPS income of $0.26 per share. By that measure, the company missed the mean analyst estimate of $0.31. It missed the average revenue estimate of $128.94 million." wallstcheatsheet.com
