FSK Q3 results show steady NII, NAV support, and ongoing buybacks
Nov 5, 2026, 6:29 AM EST1 sourcesAI-analyzed
Why it may matterVerify against the original reporting
Strong near-term price support from buybacks at prices well below NAV (around $10.88–$11.24 vs NAV $18.28) and steady NII; elevated leverage adds some risk, but the rotation toward first-lien exposure may reduce default risk and improve cash-flow clarity. Historical precedent: buybacks below NAV often generate modest uplift in NAV/share and stock price in BDCs during periods of active repurchase programs.
