MidCap Financial Investment Corporation released its fourth‑quarter earnings, reporting earnings per share of $0.39 that exceeded analysts’ $0.37 estimate while revenue of $78.36 million fell short of the $79.3 million consensus.
The earnings beat was driven by disciplined cost management and a favorable mix of investment income, allowing the company to offset a modest decline in top‑line revenue. Net investment income remained strong and operating expenses were kept in line with prior periods.
Revenue missed expectations by roughly $0.94 million, largely because older, lower‑yielding investments from 2022 and earlier vintages underperformed, reducing overall top‑line growth.
Net asset value per share slipped 3.3 % to $14.18 from $14.66 in the prior quarter, reflecting the impact of the older investment portfolio and a slight decline in portfolio valuation.
In response to the NAV dip, MFIC announced a $100 million share‑buyback program and reduced its quarterly dividend to $0.31 per share from $0.38. CEO Tanner Powell said the company believes the stock is trading below intrinsic value and that the buyback will be more accretive than new investments.
Investors reacted cautiously, noting the dividend cut and NAV decline while recognizing the EPS beat as a positive sign of operational resilience.
