Gladstone Capital (GLAD) Tops Q4 Earnings and Revenue Estimates
Gladstone Capital (GLAD) came out with quarterly earnings of $0.52 per share, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $0.51 per share. This compares to earnings of $0.5 per share a year ago.
Gladstone Capital: Premium Valuation Isn't Justified By Q3 Earnings
I maintain a Hold rating on GLAD due to underwhelming earnings, declining NAV, and weak dividend coverage despite its attractive yield. GLAD trades at a significant premium to NAV, which I find unjustified given flat earnings, limited new investments, and modest portfolio growth. Dividend coverage is thin, with net investment income barely supporting distributions, making the payout vulnerable to negative portfolio shifts or lower rates.
