Golub BDC: I'm Holding Despite Rising Non-Accruals

Summary Golub Capital BDC's portfolio has some weaknesses and sector risks, but I trust management's strong track record, especially in software lending. Non-accruals and underperforming assets have risen, with 2.2% of investments materially below expectations and spreads continuing to compress. Dividend coverage is tight. NII barely covers payouts, and another dividend cut may be possible if trends persist. GBDC trades at a 0.92x P/BV discount, but I expect more attractive entry points ahead and will hold, not add, at current levels. Read the full article on Seeking Alpha

Trying To Catch The BDC Bottom With A Pair Trade (Part 3) - Golub Capital Vs. FSCO

Summary BDCs have fallen significantly, making them attractive for long positions, but hedging with FS Credit Opportunities Corp. is recommended due to market volatility. Golub Capital BDC has a higher leverage and expense ratio, while FSCO offers a better-adjusted NII yield and lower leverage. FSCO's strong liquidity and predictable price movements make it an ideal hedge for investing in beaten-down BDCs. The strategy involves buying undervalued BDCs and using FSCO to protect against further declines, leveraging its stable performance. Read the full article on Seeking Alpha

Golub Capital BDC: Disappointing Performance, Not As Bad As It Seems (Rating Downgrade)

Summary Due to economic uncertainty and a disappointing quarter, I am downgrading Golub Capital BDC from a buy to a hold. Despite misses in the top and bottom lines, GBDC's credit rating upgrade and higher originations are positive signs for future performance. Management expects improved net investment income from higher originations and restructured borrowers, but economic volatility remains a risk. GBDC's valuation remains attractive for income-oriented investors, but a potential dividend cut and economic risks warrant a cautious hold. Read the full article on Seeking Alpha

Golub Capital BDC: Dividends Worth Scooping Despite Further Interest Rate Changes

Summary Golub Capital BDC's conservative portfolio, focusing on first-lien debt, faces challenges from decreasing interest rates but maintains solid dividend coverage. GBDC's diversified borrower base and unique industry focus, with a low non-accrual rate, supports its defensive investment position. As GBDC's regular dividend coverage can withstand a few more cuts, the current regular DPS yield of 10.2% can be considered an attractive risk-to-reward opportunity.

Golub Capital's NAV, Valuation, And Dividend Vs. 14 BDC Peers - Part 2 (Includes Updated Dividend Projections)

Summary Part 2 of this article compares GBDC’s recent dividend per share rates, yield percentages, and several other highly detailed (and useful) dividend sustainability metrics to 14 other BDC peers. This includes a comparative analysis of GBDC’s cumulative undistributed taxable income ratio, percentage of floating-rate debt investments, recent weighted average annualized yield, and weighted average interest rate on outstanding borrowings. GBDC’s “base” dividend sustainability remains strong. When comparing/analyzing all metrics (including additional metrics not mentioned), GBDC is currently deemed to be undervalued (BUY). Most BDCs will continue to have sustainable (and some special periodic) dividends over the foreseeable future (though special dividends are likely to decrease overtime). Credit risk will continue to be monitored/modeled. Simply put, contrary to recent speculation, GBDC’s base dividend remains safe. In addition, GBDC is currently only one of a couple of sector peers with a decent valuation. Read the full article on Seeking Alpha

Golub Capital: High-Yield Play With Caveats

Summary Golub Capital BDC, Inc. shares have dropped 13% since April 2024 due to rising borrowing costs and economic uncertainty. Despite concerns, Golub offers a 10%+ dividend yield, low non-accrual rates, and trades around its net asset value.

Golub Capital: Healthy And Well-Covered 11% Dividend

Summary Golub Capital BDC trades at a slight discount to NAV despite strong dividend coverage and below-average leverage.

Golub Capital: Price Drop Brings This Into Buy Zone (Rating Upgrade)

Summary Golub Capital operates as a business development company that generates earnings through debt investments to middle market companies. Golub Capital's price fell by nearly 5% over the last week. This price retraction has increased the valuation appeal. GBDC offers a strong portfolio of debt investments, high dividend yield of 10.6%, and potential for growth despite lower interest rates. GBDC sits on about $300M worth of cash that can be wisely deployed into new investments. This would ultimately drive growth and offset any possible impacts to NII per share.

Golub Capital: Outperformance In Q2 Made This BDC Too Expensive (Downgrade)

Summary Golub Capital has delivered superior growth, outperforming the S&P 500 in total return as well as many BDC peers. GBDC's Q2 earnings showed consistent growth, with NII increasing by 21%. The NAV has also consistently grown over the past year. GBDC's dividend yield is currently 9.2%, but the recent price run has made the stock less attractive as it now trades at a higher premium to NAV than average. Management cut their base management fee down to 1%, contributing to NII growth. Non-accruals slightly decreased over the last quarter, reinforcing GBDC's portfolio strength.

Golub Capital: A BDC To Consider Whether Or Not Rates Remain Higher

Summary GBDC recently merged with GBDC 3, which is expected to increase their liquidity and scale. The latest CPI report has raised questions about potential interest rate cuts, making Golub Capital a potential consideration for income-focused portfolios. Management also lowered their income incentive & management fee post-merger. This is expected to increase Nll by $0.13 on an annualized basis. This increase will likely be passed onto shareholders in the form of dividends. Even if rates do decline, this will provide a buffer for an expected decline in net investment income.

Golub Capital BDC originates $176.7M commitments in fiscal Q4; fair value declines

Golub Capital BDC (NASDAQ:GBDC) said Tuesday it originated $176.7M in new middle market investment commitments during its fiscal Q4 ended Sept. 30, 2022. That's down from the $449.6M of commitments in the previous quarter. About 91% of the new middle market investment commitments in Q4 were one-stop loans, 7% were senior secured loans, and 2% were equity and other securities. Of the new commitments $139.4M funded at close. Total investments at fair value are estimated to have declined by ~3.0%, or $167.2M, during the quarter, after factoring in debt repayments, sales of securities, net fundings on revolvers, and net change in unrealized gains (losses). In August, GBDC had reported that its investment portfolio, at fair value was $5.61B.

Golub Capital: I Am Buying This 8.6% Yielding BDC Hand Over Fist

Golub Capital trades at a 7% discount to net asset value. GBDC out-earned its dividend with NII in 3Q-22, and the pay-out ratio improved due to robust NII performance. Portfolio health remained solid in the second quarter. The United States' economy is in a slump, and persistently high inflation makes it difficult for income investors to protect their purchasing power. Golub Capital BDC Inc. (GBDC) can, in my opinion, assist investors in mitigating economic risks due to the BDC's first lien-focused investment strategy. Golub Capital covered its dividend with net investment income in 3Q-22, while net asset value fell slightly QoQ. The stock trades at a 7% discount to NAV, providing investors with a small margin of safety. Portfolio Actions Golub Capital invests with a safety-first mindset, focusing almost entirely on the highest forms of available debt: First Liens. First Liens accounted for 84% of the business development company's investments at the end of the quarter, a 4% increase from the previous quarter. At the end of 2Q-22, the total weighting towards First Liens (both one stop and traditional senior) was 94%. The total allocation to investments other than First Liens increased by 2 percentage points YoY and remained stable at 6% QoQ. Aside from First Liens, Golub Capital primarily invests in equity and junior debt. Portfolio Highlights (Golub Capital BDC) Golub Capital's portfolio value increased by $187.4 million QoQ to $5.6 billion, with new investment commitments totaling $449.6 million. In the second quarter, approximately 95% of new investments were made in the First Lien category, which is already Golub Capital's core investment product. Equity investments accounted for approximately 5% of new investments in 2Q-22. Investment Activity (Golub Capital BDC) Yields May Come Under Pressure Golub Capital's portfolio yields remained stable in 2Q-22, but rates are rising, and the BDC's rising interest rate costs may limit its ability to generate attractive yields in the future. Golub Capital's investment income yield was 7.5% in 2Q-22, up 0.2 percentage points QoQ. Positioned For Higher Interest Rates (Golub Capital BDC) Credit Quality BDCs primarily invest in high-quality debt instruments, so borrowers must be able to repay whatever money they borrow. Golub Capital has no major issues in this regard. The business development firm's non-accruals did not rise in the last quarter, indicating that credit quality remained stable. Non-accruals at Golub Capital remained stable in 3Q-22, at 1.1% at fair value or 1.5% at cost. Non-Accruals (Golub Capital BDC) Q2’22 Dividend Pay-Out Metrics Golub Capital's stronger business results in 3Q-22 were driven by a recovering economy, which allowed for robust net investment income growth compared to the 2021 period. Golub Capital's net investment income in 3Q-22 was $53.9 million, a 28% increase over the previous year's NII of $42.1 million. I use Golub Capital's adjusted net investment income, which includes the capital gain incentive fee paid to the external manager, to calculate dividend pay-out ratios. The BDC's adjusted NII in 3Q-22 was $0.34 per share, up from $0.30 in 3Q-21. As a result, Golub Capital's dividend payout was easily covered by adjusted NII (pay-out ratio of 88%). Golub Capital distributed 98% of its adjusted net investment income over the last twelve months. NII, Dividend And Pay-Out Ratio (Author Created Table Using BDC Information) Net Asset Value Dropped Only Marginally Golub Capital's net asset value fell $0.21 per share in the third quarter due to unrealized depreciation on the BDC's investments of $0.24 per share. The drop in net asset value was relatively minor (1.4% QoQ), and the BDC's credit quality remained strong. NAV Per Share (Golub Capital BDC) Golub Capital's stock is currently yielding 8.6% and trading at a 7% discount to net asset value. Given that the BDC is invested in a very conservative debt portfolio, the NAV discount provides a reasonable margin of safety. GBDC Price to Book Value data by YCharts Why Golub Capital Could See A Lower Valuation I'm not concerned about Golub Capital's First Lien performance right now. Golub Capital's safety-first investment strategy, combined with strong NII growth and low non-accruals, indicates that the business development firm is running a healthy investment portfolio.

Total investments at fair value are estimated to have increased by ~3.5%, or $187.5M, during the three months ended June 30, 2022 after factoring in debt repayments, sales of securities, net fundings on revolvers and net change in unrealized gains (losses). In its fiscal Q2, Golub Capital BDC (GBDC) posted better-than-expected non-GAAP EPS and worse-than-expected total investment income.

Golub Capital: Initiating A Position In This 8.5%-Yielding BDC

We discuss Q1 results from GBDC and highlight key income dynamics of the portfolio. GBDC outperformed the broader sector in Q1, delivering a 2.6% return and a rise in the NAV. Its Adjusted NII was a penny below its Q4 level but on par with Q3. Dividend coverage on this basis is 100%. GBDC is well-positioned to grow its income given its string of positive net new investments and its high income beta to rising short-term rates. Its defensive stance is also a plus in the current market environment and is one reason we initiated a position in our Core Income Portfolio.

Golub Capital BDC: A BDC With A Margin Of Safety

GBDC is a lower-octane option in the BDC sector owing to its low leverage, lower-yield holdings, and significantly below-average equity allocation. GBDC has delivered respectable 5-year total NAV returns of around 8.4% CAGR (vs. 9.0% average) in the sector and trades at a below-average valuation of 103%. GBDC has a shareholder-friendly fee structure with a relatively low base management fee and a relatively high-income hurdle rate of 8%. Lower cost of debt, growing net acquisitions, a reduction in non-accruals, and an expectation of higher leverage are all income tailwinds.
