GSBD

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Goldman Sachs BDC, Inc. (“GS BDC”) (NYSE: GSBD) announced today that it will report its second quarter ended June 30, 2026 financial results after the market closes on Thursday, August 6, 2026. GS BDC will also host an earnings conference call on Friday, August 7, 2026 at 9:00 am Eastern Time to discuss its financial results. All interested parties are invited to participate via telephone or the audio webcast, which will be hosted on the Investor Resources section of.

April net investment activity reached a multi-year low as rising stock valuations and BDC sector weakness prompted a cautious approach and selective BDC purchases. Focused April allocations on Ares Capital, Blue Owl Capital, and Hercules Capital, yielding a 7.5% average on new investments despite sector headwinds. Dividend income set a modest April record at $990, up 3% year-over-year, with BDCs contributing 27% of Q2 year-to-date dividends but facing potential further cuts.

There is a principle I have followed for 30 years in this business. When the smartest credit team on the planet starts aggressively buying a beaten-down asset class they understand better than anyone alive, you do not sit on your hands and debate whether the timing is perfect.

Goldman Sachs BDC suffered a 50% Y/Y drop in net investment income, missing analyst expectations and triggering a post-earnings sell-off. GSBD's non-accrual ratio surged to 3.2%, with eleven portfolio companies now non-performing, pressuring both interest income and dividend sustainability. Dividend coverage fell sharply to 62.9%, making a dividend cut in 2026 highly likely; I downgrade GSBD to 'Hold.'

Goldman Sachs BDC trades at a 27% discount to NAV, significantly below its 5-year average. GSBD's portfolio is 97% first lien, with heavy exposure to software and healthcare sectors. The five-year average annual total return on NAV is 7.34%.
