Is this above-average 15% dividend sustainable?

The "venture debt" model of financing corporate growth is gaining ground, allowing entrepreneurs to raise the capital they need to grow without having to issue new shares and thus losing control of their companies. This approach is particularly attractive for fast-growing companies in the technology and healthcare sectors that need flexible financial support to cope with rapid growth. This adds an interesting aspect: a high dividend yield, which makes this model attractive not only for founders but also for investors.

This high dividend of 15% is supported by stable income from the loan portfolio, but it also brings challenges, especially in terms of long-term sustainability. While this funding model is proving effective in supporting growth, the reliance on external debt and high payout ratios may pose a risk in the future. Investors should carefully monitor how these dynamics evolve to ensure that high dividends are indeed sustainable in the long term.
