Goldman Sachs BDC, Inc Stock News

When investing for 10%+ BDC yields, investors have to pay extra attention to leverage, dividend coverage, and portfolio quality. Going into Q3, 2024 earnings season, my expectation was that we would see elevated volatility levels and falling NII results. While the actual results have been mostly positive for high-quality BDCs (and even for some speculative picks), many risks remain open.

Despite attractive 13.9% yield, Goldman Sachs BDC faces credit quality concerns, declining NAV, and top/bottom line erosion, leading me to downgrade them from a buy to a hold.

Improvements include higher originations, lower non-accruals, and increased portfol...

GSBD's dividend yield is highly attractive at around 13%, but rising non-accruals and portfolio quality deterioration make it a hold rather than a buy.

GSBD trades at a slight discount to book value, and a rerating to historic premium levels is unlik...
