Part 2 of this article compares Blackstone Secured Lending's recent dividend per share rates, yield percentages, and several other highly detailed (and useful) dividend sustainability metrics to 11 other BDC peers. BXSL's management team remains cautious regarding 2026 dividend sustainability (along with most peers). Several peers will be reducing their dividend during calendar Q1 2026 (this up...
