Description: GSBD Goldman Sachs BDC November 11, 2025

Goldman Sachs BDC Inc. (GSBD) is a U.S.–focused business development company that targets middle-market and mezzanine financing for privately held firms. It originates a mix of secured (first-lien, unitranche, second-lien) and unsecured (mezzanine) debt, with occasional equity stakes, typically investing $10-$75 million in companies generating $5-$75 million of EBITDA.

Key industry metrics that shape GSBD’s outlook include: (1) the U.S. middle-market loan market, which has grown ~8 % YoY in 2024, expanding the pipeline of eligible borrowers; (2) the average portfolio yield for BDCs, currently around 9.5 % after-tax, reflecting higher credit spreads amid a still-elevated Fed funds rate; and (3) default rates in the mezzanine segment, which remain low (~2 % annualized) but are sensitive to any slowdown in corporate earnings growth. These drivers suggest that GSBD’s performance will be closely tied to macro-credit conditions and the health of U.S. private-company earnings.
