Description: PNNT PennantPark Investment October 25, 2025
PennantPark Investment Corporation (NYSE:PNNT) is a Business Development Company that provides private-equity style financing to U.S. middle-market companies, primarily through mezzanine debt, senior secured loans, and equity-linked instruments.
The fund targets investments of $10 million to $100 million across the capital structure, focusing on companies with EBITDA between $10 million and $50 million. Typical loan sizes range from $15 million to $50 million, and the BDC may also take non-control equity positions or co-invest alongside other private-equity partners.
As of the most recent filing, PNNT reported assets under management of roughly $1.2 billion, a net asset value (NAV) per share of $10.5, and a dividend yield near 9%. Its portfolio is weighted about 60% toward mezzanine debt, 30% senior secured loans, and 10% equity-related investments, reflecting a diversified exposure across sectors such as technology, healthcare, and energy.
Key drivers for PNNT’s performance include the health of the U.S. middle-market credit market-where tighter spreads can pressure yields-and macro-economic trends like sustained GDP growth and robust M&A activity that fuel demand for flexible financing solutions, especially in high-growth tech and healthcare sub-sectors.
