Bears say

Morgan Stanley Direct Lending Fund (MSDL) reported a decline in its weighted average yield on debt and income-producing investments, falling to 10.5% from 11.0% in the prior quarter, indicating a deterioration in potential income generation.

Furthermore, the re-negotiation of credit facilities and portfolio re-pricings highlight challenges faced by MSDL, suggesting that ongoing shifts in the credit market could adversely affect future revenue and profitability.
