Goldman Sachs BDC: Collapsing Dividend Coverage (Rating Downgrade)

Goldman Sachs BDC suffered a 50% Y/Y drop in net investment income, missing analyst expectations and triggering a post-earnings sell-off. GSBD's non-accrual ratio surged to 3.2%, with eleven portfolio companies now non-performing, pressuring both interest income and dividend sustainability. Dividend coverage fell sharply to 62.9%, making a dividend cut in 2026 highly likely; I downgrade GSBD to 'Hold.'
