Barings BDC reports Q2 NII 28c, consensus 26c

Commenting on the quarter, Eric Lloyd, Chief Executive Officer of Barings BDC (BBDC), stated, “Our portfolio generated strong performance in the second quarter, delivering sequential net investment income growth. Our net investment income was $0.28 per share, fully covering our regular dividend. Further, our net investment income per share performance for the first half of 2025 fully covers our regular distributions year-to-date. Our disciplined investment approach continues to drive superior credit performance, with non-accruals at just 0.5% of our portfolio on a fair value basis. Also, we deployed almost $200 million into new and existing investments during the second quarter of 2025, in line with our strategy to deploy capital into high-quality, income producing opportunities that align with our selective investment strategy. With over $322 million of dry powder and the strength of the Barings platform, we believe that we remain well positioned to generate attractive risk-adjusted returns for our shareholders.”
