The companys financial performance is influenced by key economic drivers such as interest rates, credit spreads, and the overall health of the middle-market corporate landscape. NMFCs investment portfolio is diversified across various industries, which helps mitigate potential risks. Key performance indicators (KPIs) to monitor include net investment income, net asset value (NAV) per share, and the ratio of non-accrual investments to total investments.

NMFCs valuation multiples, such as the price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 13.49 and forward P/E of 8.01, suggest a relatively attractive valuation compared to peers.
