What are Wall Street analysts saying about Goldman Sachs BDC stock?
Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about Goldman Sachs BDC stock:
- 1. According to Zacks Investment Research, "Goldman Sachs BDC, Inc. is a specialty finance company. The Company invests primarily in telecommunication services, electronic equipment, instruments and components and real estate management and development industries. Goldman Sachs BDC, Inc. is based in NEW YORK, United States. " (3/5/2019)
- 2. National Securities analysts commented, "▪ Goldman earned NII/share of $0.56 for 4Q18, matching our estimate and above the consensus estimate of $0.51. However, the company did not earn an incentive fee for the quarter as NAV slid by 2.6% Q/Q to $17.65 as a result of credit issues.
▪ Non-accruals at cost increased to $129.3mm (including the SCF non-accrual) or 9.1% of the portfolio at cost from $9.3mm or 0.7% of the portfolio at cost in 3Q18. In December, NTS Communications entered into a sales transaction. Goldman agreed to be paid $56mm and this has the potential be increased under certain conditions. With the close of the deal and with cash proceeds received thus far, GSBD would have a 7% IRR on the investment. The deal requires FCC approval and is expected to close during 2Q19.
▪ ASC acquisition was written down from 100.1% of cost to 73.1% Q/Q and placed on non-accrual. During February, Goldman entered into a debt-for-equity swap agreement with the company. Pro-forma for NTS being sold and ASC converted into equity along with Goldman receiving half of Professional Physical Therapy from the SCF, non-accruals at cost would be $14.1mm or 1.0% of the portfolio at cost.
▪ Goldman is bringing its half of the SCF on balance sheet which would have a fair value of $225.9mm. At 12/31/18, the SCF had a weighted average yield at cost of 7.7% compared with 9.5% for the on-balance sheet loans. The SCF itself had a return to GSBD of 11.2% on cost. We think this move will reduce frictional costs and keep economic leverage in-check as balance sheet leverage increases with the reduced asset coverage afforded to the company.
▪ The transaction is expected to close at or near 3/31/19 and pro-forma for this we model first lien investments to comprise 66.4% of the portfolio at fair value compared with 55.1% at 12/31/18. We also expect that this transaction will have greater single-name diversification in the portfolio. The 11.2% yield at cost provided by the SCF will likely reduce earnings and Goldman will likely rotate the SCF assets with a yield by cost of 180 bps lower into on-balance sheet investments. Thus, with increased diversification and reduced economic leverage we think this transaction should improve the Sharpe ratio of GSBD’s portfolio although NII/share will likely decrease, too.
▪ We are revising our 2019 NII/share estimate to $1.91 from $2.09 and are rolling out our 2020 NII/share estimate of $1.90. We are maintaining our BUY rating and lowering our price target to $22 from $23." (3/4/2019)
