PennantPark Investment (PNNT) News & Sentiment

MIAMI, March 04, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- PennantPark Investment Corporation (the "Company") (NYSE: PNNT) declares its monthly distribution for March 2025 of $0.08 per share, payable on April 1, 2025 to stockholders of record as of March 14, 2025. The distribution is expected to be paid from taxable net investment income.

PennantPark Investment's dividend coverage is bolstered by two years' worth of undistributed spillover income, but net investment income remains insufficient to support the base distribution. PNNT's portfolio strategy includes a mix of first lien senior secured investments and equity-based investments, with a growing emphasis on its Joint Venture. Despite a high dividend yield of 13.3%, PNNT's valuation appears expensive given the lack of significant NAV growth and persistent non-accrual issues.

PennantPark Investment Corporation's recent dividends were not fully covered by net investment income, leading me to revise my rating from buy to hold.
