SLR Investment Reports Q3 NII of $0.33 Per Share and $17.83 NAV

What happened

SLR Investment reported third-quarter 2026 net investment income of $17.8 million, or $0.33 per share, and net assets of $972.8 million. The board declared a quarterly distribution of $0.31 per share, payable December 28 to shareholders of record December 14.

Confirmed

Global impact / market context

The quarterly distribution of $0.31 per share is slightly below the $0.33 per share of net investment income, which is the profit earned from the portfolio. That gap suggests the payout was covered by earnings, though realized and unrealized losses of $10.2 million reduced overall net assets.

Analyst inference

Investment income fell to $49.3 million from $57.0 million a year earlier, while net expenses declined to $31.5 million from $35.4 million. Net asset value slipped to $17.83 per share from $18.00 at June 30, 2026, and prior-year net investment income was $0.40 per share.

Analyst inference

What to watch

1. Portfolio originations were $575.1 million and repayments and amortization were $429.2 million, with asset-based lending at $277.2 million and equipment finance at $263.3 million of originations. Confirmed
2. Watch whether net investment income per share stays above the $0.31 quarterly distribution, since falling investment income and unrealized losses could pressure the earnings cushion that supports the payout. Analyst inference
3. Watch net asset value per share, which fell to $17.83 from $18.00, because further declines would signal weaker portfolio values and could affect investor positioning in the stock. Analyst inference
