Description: OBDC Blue Owl Capital January 07, 2026
Blue Owl Capital Corporation (NYSE: OBDC) operates as a Business Development Company (BDC) that focuses on direct-lending and fund-of-fund strategies. Its investment mandate covers senior secured loans, unitranche and second-lien term loans, mezzanine debt, as well as equity-linked securities such as warrants, preferred stock, and common equity. Within private-equity, the firm targets growth-capital, acquisition, expansion, refinancing, and recapitalization opportunities in U.S. middle-market and upper-middle-market companies, typically with EBITDA of $10 M–$250 M and revenue of $50 M–$2.5 B. Deal sizes range from $20 M to $250 M, with maturities of three to ten years.
**Key market context (as of Q4 2023):**
• AUM stood at roughly $13 B, with a net asset value (NAV) yield of ~8.5%-above the BDC median of ~7% but sensitive to credit-spread widening.
• U.S. middle-market loan demand is being driven by a 4.2% YoY increase in corporate refinancing activity, reflecting higher leverage ratios and the need to lock in rates before further Federal Reserve tightening.
• The sector’s performance is closely linked to the health of the U.S. manufacturing and business services segments, which together account for ~45% of the target addressable market; a slowdown in these industries would likely compress deal flow and pricing.
