BlackRock TCP Capital reports Q4 EPS 25c, consensus 27c

Reports Q4 NAV per share $7.07. The company said, “In the fourth quarter, issuer-specific developments drove a 19% decline in NAV, with six portfolio companies accounting for roughly two-thirds of the decrease. Viewed more broadly, approximately 91% of the NAV reduction was tied to investments that were underwritten in 2021 or earlier. Certain of these businesses benefited from high levels of pandemic-era demand but have since seen results soften. In addition, because these investments were originated in a low base-rate environment, several have struggled to adapt to a period of sustained higher interest rates.”
