What are Wall Street analysts saying about Golub Capital BDC stock?
Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about Golub Capital BDC stock:
- 1. According to Zacks Investment Research, "Golub Capital BDC Inc. is a business development company that principally invests in senior secured, unitranche, mezzanine and second lien loans of middle-market companies that are, in most cases, sponsored by private equity investors. The Company's investment activities are managed by its investment adviser, GC Advisors LLC, an affiliate of Golub Capital. " (5/14/2018)
- 2. National Securities analysts commented, "• For fiscal 2Q18, GBDC posted core NII/share of $0.32, matching our estimate and the quarterly dividend. We expect the dividend to be covered through fiscal 2018 and 2019 although earnings will likely be flat over this time.
• Golub has one of the largest BDC platforms in the sector, with over $18.0 billion in AUM to co-invest across. Of this amount, $1.82 billion was in the public BDC as of 3/31/18. This provides a few significant advantages for Golub. Firstly, this permits the company to provide certainty of close to sponsors. Golub can write large checks on its own without having to take syndication risk or club up on deals and lose some of the beneficial fees it gets from originating the loans.
• Secondly, GBDC finished fiscal 2Q18 with an average investment size of only $8.8 million out of $1.82 billion of assets. This type of diversification is only possible through co-investment and splitting the same tranche of investments across affiliated funds depending on available investable capital.
• This has led to Golub having a rock bottom non-accrual rate the past several years and a steadily increasing NAV/share. We expect these trends to continue and drive strong economic returns for shareholders in fiscal 2018 and 2019.
• Unsurprisingly, Golub had a great answer on potentially increasing leverage: they’re not in a rush. Golub is patiently taking its time on assessing if increasing leverage would benefit shareholders and are considering the reduced flexibility a manager would have with more leverage and how this would hold up in pockets of loan market dislocation and thus opportunity.
• We are adjusting our fiscal 2018 core NII/share estimate to $1.29 from $1.28 and our fiscal 2019 core NII/share estimate to $1.29 from $1.30.\" (5/10/2018)
