Carlyle Secured Lending reports Q4 EPS 36c, consensus 37c

Reports Q4 NAV per share $16.26. Alex Chi, CGBD‘s CEO, said, “As CGBD’s newly appointed CEO, I look forward to continuing to build on Carlyle’s strong track record and world-class platform. Building off record origination volume in the fourth quarter and full year 2025, we continue to expand our origination apparatus and are focused on further harnessing the full power of the OneCarlyle platform. The depth of our underwriting sector expertise positions us to take share in a more active market environment, and we are confident in the strength and credit quality of our existing portfolio should volatility persist. As we accelerate the growth and impact of the Carlyle Direct Lending business, CGBD’s core strategy remains focused on stable, high-quality credits in the middle market, complemented by strategic partnerships that enhance return on equity, exemplified by our newly announced structured credit joint venture.”
