Gladstone Capital (GLAD) Tops Q4 Earnings and Revenue Estimates

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.

Gladstone Capital. (NASDAQ:GLAD ) Q3 2025 Earnings Conference Call August 5, 2025 8:30 AM ET Company Participants Catherine Gerkis - Director of Investor Relations & ESG David John Gladstone - Chairman & CEO Nicole Schaltenbrand - CFO & Treasurer Robert L.
Gladstone Capital (GLAD) Matches Q3 Earnings Estimates
Gladstone Capital (GLAD) came out with quarterly earnings of $0.5 per share, in line with the Zacks Consensus Estimate . This compares to earnings of $0.57 per share a year ago.
Gladstone Capital: Premium Has Come Down But Still Not A Buy
GLAD's valuation has decreased but remains relatively high, with a 17.38% premium to NAV, making it still expensive despite recent price declines. The current dividend yield is 7.9%, but the low coverage rate of 101% raises concerns about its sustainability in a high-interest rate environment. Non-accruals have slightly increased to 7.5% of cost, indicating some portfolio stress, and GLAD underperforms peers with lower non-accrual rates.
Gladstone Capital: What To Look For Ahead Of Earnings
Gladstone Capital's improving internal risk ratings and low PIK income are positives, but rising non-accruals and barely covered dividends pose significant risks. The BDC's portfolio quality has improved, but the weakened US economic outlook and potential global trade war impacts remain concerns. Despite the dividend being covered by net investment income, the low coverage ratio and 18% premium to NAV make GLAD a hold, not a buy.
Gladstone Capital (GLAD) Q2 Earnings Match Estimates
Gladstone Capital (GLAD) came out with quarterly earnings of $0.50 per share, in line with the Zacks Consensus Estimate. This compares to earnings of $0.25 per share a year ago.
Gladstone Capital (GLAD) Soars 7.1%: Is Further Upside Left in the Stock?
Gladstone Capital (GLAD) saw its shares surge in the last session with trading volume being higher than average. The latest trend in earnings estimate revisions may not translate into further price increase in the near term.
Gladstone Capital: A Reliable Income Powerhouse
Gladstone Capital is recommended as a 'Buy' for long-term income investors, with a 7.2% dividend yield. GLAD has shown strong price performance, with a 150% 5Y price return and 290% total return, outperforming the BIZD. The company's low leverage (0.68x) mitigates the impact of both the small portfolio size and the 7.4% decline in TII.
Gladstone Capital: Rising Non-Accruals And Unjustified Premium Valuation (Rating Downgrade)
GLAD's current premium to NAV is unjustified due to weakening earnings, increased non-accruals, and poor dividend coverage, leading to a sell rating. Despite GLAD's attractive 7% dividend yield and monthly payouts, the dividend coverage is weak, risking potential cuts if portfolio conditions worsen. GLAD's portfolio is diversified but small, with significant exposure to floating rate investments. This increases the overall vulnerability and impact of underperforming borrowers.
