CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Kayne Anderson BDC, Inc. (NYSE: KBDC) (“KBDC”), a business development company externally managed by its investment adviser, KA Credit Advisors, LLC, announced today that it will release its financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2026, on Thursday, November 5, 2026, after the close of financial markets. KBDC will host a conference call at 12:00 pm ET on Friday, November 6, 2026, to review its financial results. All interested parties are invited to.

Kayne Anderson BDC offers a 12%+ yield, trading at an 18.6% discount to NAV, appealing to income-focused investors. KBDC's Q2 showed resilience: 105% dividend coverage, increased investment activity, and a defensively positioned portfolio with 98% first-lien exposure. Non-accruals rose to 2.7% of the portfolio, and NAV declined, highlighting emerging credit risks amid a challenging macro environment.

High-quality dividend gems are rarely discounted. Yet when they go get penalized by the market, it usually makes sense to stockpile before the reality kicks in. Currently, I'm betting big on two retirement income machines which are down due to reasons that won't hurt their durable dividend prospects.

BDCs have gone out of favor. The current sector median 25% discount implies an unprecedented 12% loss rate (and this is even ignoring the recovery rates), which history does not support. I see that rising non-accruals, tight dividends, and extended balance sheets challenge the sector, but long-term protections remain robust.

Kayne Anderson BDC remains a buy, supported by stable NII, strong dividend coverage, and prudent balance sheet management. KBDC's NII rose 5% year-over-year to $0.42 per share, maintaining a 105% dividend coverage ratio despite a modest increase in non-accruals. Portfolio diversification is robust, with top 10 investments under 20% of assets and average borrower exposure around 1%, mitigating credit risk.

Externally managed BDCs face structural challenges, notably high fees and misaligned incentives, making them difficult portfolio inclusions. I favor internally managed BDCs for long-term value, but selectively own some external names as well. There could be two motives for owning external ones: 1) tactical trades (high risk, high retur) and 2) long-term income compounding.

KBDC stands out as a rare externally managed BDC worth holding, despite typical structural drawbacks. Recent Q2 results showed declining NII and NAV, higher leverage, and increased non-accruals, but underlying drivers suggest near-term improvement. KBDC trades at a 15% discount to NAV, with NII per share expected to rise next quarter due to portfolio rotation and higher spreads.

Kayne Anderson BDC NYSE: KBDC reported second-quarter 2026 net investment income of $0.42 per share, exceeding its quarterly dividend by $0.02 per share, while net asset value declined amid realized and unrealized portfolio losses and the completion of its exit from broadly syndicated loans.
