Sixth Street Specialty Lending Inc (TSLX) is not a strong buy for a beginner, long-term investor at this time. The stock's technical indicators are bearish, financial performance has significantly declined, and there are no strong positive catalysts or proprietary trading signals to support immediate investment. While the dividend announcement is a positive, the overall sentiment and data suggest holding off for now.
The stock is in a bearish trend with moving averages indicating downward momentum (SMA_200 > SMA_20 > SMA_5). The MACD histogram is negative (-0.18) and contracting, while the RSI is at 26.678, suggesting no clear signal but leaning towards oversold conditions. Key support levels are at S1: 19.831 and S2: 19.232, with resistance at R1: 21.772.

The company declared a quarterly dividend of $0.46 per share and a supplemental dividend of $0.01 per share, which may attract income-focused investors. Additionally, the company operates in the middle-market lending sector, which has growth potential.
Analysts have also reduced price targets due to industry concerns. Technical indicators are bearish, and there is no recent congress trading data or significant insider/hedge fund activity.
In Q4 2025, the company reported a revenue decline of -110.14% YoY to -$12.145 million, net income dropped by -41.24% YoY to $29.96 million, and EPS fell by -41.82% YoY to $0.32. Gross margin dropped to 0, reflecting a challenging quarter.
BofA analyst Derek Hewett recently lowered the price target from $24.50 to $23 while maintaining a Buy rating. The reduction was due to industry-wide concerns and lower earnings forecasts for 2026.
