MIAMI, May 27, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- PennantPark Floating Rate Capital Ltd. (the “Company”) (NYSE: PFLT) today announced that it has priced an underwritten public offering of $100 million aggregate principal amount of its 7.375% notes due 2031 (the “Notes”). The Notes will mature on June 15, 2031 and may be redeemed in whole or in part at the Company's option at any time on and after June 15, 2028, upon not less than 30 days nor more than 60 days' written notice prior to the date fixed for redemption thereof, at a redemption price of 100% of the outstanding principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest payments otherwise payable for the then-current quarterly interest period accrued to, but excluding, the date fixed for redemption. The offering is expected to close on or about June 1, 2026, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions. The Notes are expected to be listed on the New York Stock Exchange and to trade thereon within 30 days of the original issue date under the symbol “PFLA”.

In the article I list all monthly-paying BDCs. This list is then reduced to a handful of BDCs. These remaining BDCs, in my view, are the one with the strongest prospect to generate durable income without permanent NAV decay.

PennantPark Floating Rate Capital NYSE: PFLT reported flat net asset value and continued low non-accruals for its second fiscal quarter of 2026, while management said it is resetting the company's dividend framework to better align payouts with current net investment income.

PennantPark Floating Rate Capital remains a hold as NAV declines and flat earnings persist, despite a 13.8% dividend yield. PFLT will reduce its monthly payout to $0.08 per share in July, aligning distributions with net investment income and improving future dividend coverage. Negative net investment activity and rising debt-to-equity (1.61x) highlight limited near-term growth catalysts and ongoing portfolio challenges.

May's top monthly pay dividend equities, led by Grupo Financiero Galicia, offer forecasted net gains up to 76.4% by 2027. Yield-based MoPay stock selection proved 50% accurate against analyst gain forecasts, with average net gain projected at 32.16% and moderate risk. Investors should monitor dividend sustainability, as 43 of 81 MoPay equities exhibit negative free cash flow margins, signaling potential payout risks.
