Galeanu Mihai I have been covering Fidus Investment (NASDAQ:FDUS) since late December last year, and issuing follow-up articles after each earnings report. The overarching investment thesis is based on durable cash flow that is underpinned by a strong portfolio base operating in inherently defensive industries.
