Goldman Sachs BDC ( (GSBD) ) has shared an announcement.

For the second quarter ended June 30, 2026, Goldman Sachs BDC reported net investment income of $0.38 per share, or $0.37 on an adjusted basis, reflecting an annualized net investment income yield on book value of 12.3%, while earnings per share were $0.21. Total investment income rose to $83.7 million from $78.8 million in the prior quarter, driven largely by certain investments returning to accrual status, and net expenses before taxes fell to $40.7 million from $53.0 million as incentive fees declined.

The company’s NAV per share slipped 0.9% to $12.06, and non-accrual investments represented 2.9% of the portfolio at fair value and 5.0% at amortized cost, with restructurings and performance improvements leading some positions, such as Thrasio, back to accrual status, while others, including Wine.com Inc., were placed on non-accrual. The board declared a third-quarter 2026 base dividend of $0.32 per share and a second-quarter supplemental dividend of $0.03 per share, and in May 2026 authorized a new Rule 10b5-1 stock repurchase program of up to $75 million, signaling continued capital return to shareholders alongside active portfolio risk management.

Total investments at fair value declined slightly to $3.20 billion from $3.23 billion, with net funded investment activity negative $26.6 million as sales and repayments exceeded new fundings. As of August 6, 2026, the company’s net debt-to-equity ratio had decreased below its 1.25x target, reflecting balance-sheet de-risking through repayments and sales that may improve financial flexibility for future deployment and support ongoing distributions.

Spark’s Take on GSBD Stock

According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, GSBD is a Neutral.

GSBD scores 52 primarily due to pressured fundamentals and a cautious earnings outlook: sharp Q1 NII decline, NAV erosion, higher nonaccruals, and weak TTM cash generation weigh most. Technical signals are mildly weak, while the moderate P/E and very high dividend yield provide the main support to the score.
