Insights

Strong quarterly performance with several key highlights indicating robust financial health. The record net asset value per share and highest net investment income demonstrate BXSL's growing profitability. The portfolio shows exceptional quality metrics with 98.7% first lien senior secured debt and a conservative loan-to-value ratio of 46.5%.

The Moody's upgrade to Baa2 is particularly significant, as it places BXSL among an elite group of BDCs with this rating level. This upgrade typically translates to lower borrowing costs and improved access to capital markets. The maintained quarterly dividend of $0.77 per share reflects management's confidence in sustainable earnings.

The high percentage of first-lien loans and low LTV ratio provide strong downside protection in the current market environment, while minimal non-accruals indicate strong underlying credit performance.

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Blackstone Secured Lending Fund (NYSE: BXSL or the “Company”) today reported its third quarter 2024 results.
