NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Golub Capital BDC, Inc., a business development company (NASDAQ: GBDC, www.golubcapitalbdc.com), announced today that it will report its financial results for the quarter and the year ended September 30, 2025 on Tuesday, November 18, 2025 after the close of the financial markets. Golub Capital BDC, Inc. will host an earnings conference call at 10:00 a.m. (Eastern Time) on Wednesday, November 19, 2025 to discuss its quarterly financial results. All interested parties m.

Golub Capital BDC (GBDC) is downgraded to a hold due to thin dividend coverage and a downward trending NAV per share. GBDC offers a high 12% dividend yield, but future payouts are at risk if net investment income declines further, especially with more rate cuts. The portfolio remains strong with first lien debt and improving non-accruals, but rising PIK income and higher leverage raise caution.

BDCs have already experienced a notable correction. The sector median P/NAV metric indicates ~12% discount to NAV. Many players are priced even below that.

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Golub Capital BDC, Inc. (the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our”), a business development company (Nasdaq: GBDC), announced that it has priced an underwritten public offering of an additional $250 million in aggregate principal amount of 7.050% notes due 2028 (the “Notes”). The Notes will mature on December 5, 2028 and may be redeemed in whole or in part at the Company's option at any time prior to November 5, 2028, at par plus a “make-whole” premium, and thereafter at par.

GBDC delivered an as-expected quarter with stable NAV and minor NII outperformance, supporting the safety of its 2025 dividend. The portfolio remains healthy, with non-accruals modestly below sector averages and no new non-accruals this quarter, though credit risk should be monitored. Recent liability restructuring and portfolio growth have stabilized NII, but multiple Fed rate cuts could pressure the dividend in 2026.

BDCs have outperformed over the past half-decade. However, macro and sector conditions are shifting rapidly. This could be the toughest environment BDCs have faced in years.

Caring about dividends can increase our returns, but caring about NAV can save our portfolio. Return and NAV protection must go hand in hand, because there can be no sustainable return without protecting the value of the underlying assets. As far as I am concerned, the way to protect my portfolio is to favor only securities with a positive NAV over time.

Golub Capital BDC delivered another solid quarter with a 2.4% total NAV return, maintaining a 10.55% dividend yield and trading near the NAV. The portfolio remains highly diversified, focused on first-lien floating-rate loans with low non-accruals and improving internal ratings. Leverage is above target, though management is not rushing to reduce it. The company benefits from low fees and floating-rate liabilities.

I am downgrading Golub Capital BDC to 'hold' due to declining net investment income and the risk of a potential dividend cut. While Q3 2025 earnings beat expectations, income barely covers the dividend, and further rate cuts could pressure payouts and stock price. Positives include low non-accruals and improved internal performance ratings, suggesting better credit quality and future deal flow opportunities.

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Golub Capital BDC, Inc., a business development company (Nasdaq: GBDC), today announced its financial results for its third fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2025. Except where the context suggests otherwise, the terms “we,” “us,” “our,” and “Company” refer to Golub Capital BDC, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries. “GC Advisors” refers to GC Advisors LLC, our investment adviser. SELECTED FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS                   (in thousands, except per share data)      .

Golub Capital's current valuation is not compelling, trading at a slight premium to NAV despite ongoing NAV declines and a lack of unique advantages. Dividend yield is attractive at 11.4%, but coverage is just 100%, offering no margin of safety and below sector average sustainability. Portfolio yields are declining, refinancing risk is rising, and GBDC lacks the balance sheet flexibility or equity exposure of top peers.
