GBDC remains a 'hold' due to strong credit quality but rising risk of a dividend cut amid declining net investment income. GBDC's portfolio is highly sensitive to falling interest rates, leading to a 17% year-over-year decline in net investment income and just 100% dividend coverage. Despite a discounted valuation (P/BV 0.92x) and healthy portfolio quality, lower yields and spreads threaten future dividend sustainability.

Golub Capital BDC (GBDC) came out with quarterly earnings of $0.39 per share, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $0.38 per share. This compares to earnings of $0.48 per share a year ago.
I maintain my 'Hold' rating on GBDC due to ongoing concerns about dividend sustainability, despite a recent improvement in the payout ratio to 100%. The cessation of special dividends reduced short-term risk, but the base dividend remains at risk if adjusted net investment income doesn't stabilize. GBDC's portfolio quality is average, with a low non-accrual ratio, but negative net funds growth and dilution from the merger weigh on per-share results.

Golub Capital BDC (GBDC) came out with quarterly earnings of $0.39 per share, missing the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $0.41 per share. This compares to earnings of $0.51 per share a year ago.
Golub Capital BDC offers an attractive 11% dividend yield and trades at a discount to book value, making it a compelling buy. The company's portfolio is heavily weighted towards first lien debt, ensuring lower risk and strong asset quality. Recent operational performance shows a 3.5% quarterly asset growth and a declining cost of debt, offsetting some yield pressures.
Golub Capital BDC's dividend pay-out ratio rose to 123% in 4Q24, raising concerns about potential dividend cuts in 2025 despite improved credit profile. The BDC's portfolio grew to $8.7 billion with a strong focus on First Lien loans, benefiting from robust origination growth and successful restructuring. Despite earning $0.39 per share in adjusted net investment income, the total dividend pay-out ratio suggests heightened dividend risks, leading to a 'Hold' rating.
