MIAMI, Oct. 03, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- PennantPark Investment Corporation (the "Company") (NYSE: PNNT) announced that it will report results for the fourth fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2025 on Monday, November 24, 2025 after the close of the financial markets.

MIAMI, Oct. 02, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- PennantPark Investment Corporation (the "Company") (NYSE: PNNT) declares its monthly distribution for October 2025 of $0.08 per share, payable on November 3, 2025 to stockholders of record as of October 15, 2025.

The final specific tax characteristics of the distributions will be reported to stockholders on Form 1099 after the end of the calendar year and in the Company's periodic report filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

October's top monthly dividend stocks offer high yields, with many providing annual dividends from $1,000 invested exceeding share prices, but carry volatility risks. Banco Macro, ARMOUR Residential, and Horizon Technology Finance lead projected gains, with average net gain estimates of 39.98% on $1,000 invested. Analyst estimates suggest the five lowest-priced MoPay stocks may outperform the top ten overall, highlighting contrarian opportunities for income-focused investors.

BDCs have two issues: 1) almost no margin of safety for dividend coverage, and 2) depressed earnings outlook. For many players it is just a matter of several quarters before they become forced to cut dividends. Yet, there are many arguments, which negate such a view. Unfortunately, many of them ar myths.

MIAMI, Sept. 03, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- PennantPark Investment Corporation (the "Company") (NYSE: PNNT), as previously announced on July 14, 2025, declared its monthly distribution for September 2025 of $0.08 per share, payable on September 30, 2025 to stockholders of record as of September 15, 2025. The distribution is expected to be paid from taxable net investment income. The final specific tax characteristics of the distributions will be reported to stockholders on Form 1099 after the end of the calendar year and in the Company's periodic report filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

PennantPark Investment offers an attractive 13.4% dividend yield, appealing to income investors, but I have concerns about the sustainability of this payout through 2025. While the total return over the past year is strong at 17.3%, much of this is due to recent market momentum and dividend distributions. PNNT currently trades at only a 2.85% discount to NAV, much smaller than its historical average, making the stock less compelling at current levels.

Q2 earnings confirmed my call for a market rotation in BDCs; quality bias and selectivity remain critical for outperformance. Structural headwinds—spread compression, falling base rates, and thin dividend coverage—signal elevated risk of further dividend cuts across the sector. Current sector repricing is insufficient for broad new BDC allocations; most remain unattractive except for select names with strong fundamentals.
