Pennant Park Investment Corp

PNNT

Market cap $377M

PennantPark Investment Corp. remains fundamentally sound despite recent share price declines and a challenging private equity environment. PNNT's portfolio shows higher equity allocation and declining investment income, with NAV per share dropping from $7.56 to $7.11 in fiscal 2025. Fed rate cuts are expected to pressure NII and dividends, with a likely reduction to $0.70 per share; entry under $6.25 offers a margin of safety.

MIAMI, Dec. 02, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- PennantPark Investment Corporation (the "Company") (NYSE: PNNT) declares its monthly distribution for December 2025 of $0.08 per share, payable on January 2, 2026 to stockholders of record as of December 15, 2025. The distribution is expected to be paid from taxable net investment income.

BDCs are facing pressures from multiple fronts. Yet, they do not have much ammo left to fight back via portfolio growth. This is not good for shareholder and BDC managers, who earn fees based on asset size and earnings results.

PennantPark offers a compelling dividend of almost 16% and a notable discount to NAV. In the recent earnings call, the management provided rather optimistic commentary on the future dividend, signaling a continuation of the existing distributions. While this might sound attractive, the reality is that PNNT has pumped massive leverage into the system.
