Q2 FY26

TL;DR. Chicago Atlantic BDC reported Q2 2026 net investment income of $7.7 million ($0.34/share), down from $10.0 million ($0.44/share) in Q1 2026, with NAV per share slipping to $13.26 from $13.33 as deployment was light at $2.7 million. The company reaffirmed Q4 2026 close of the REFI merger and filed a $500 million shelf registration, with management citing a ~$1.1 billion pipeline and a subsequent $25 million funding.

Bullish
  • + Credit quality remains strong with 0% non-accruals and stable internal risk ratings
  • + $500 million shelf registration filed to enhance financial flexibility beyond the credit facility
  • + Declared seventh consecutive $0.34 quarterly dividend
Bearish
