What is the management’s outlook for investment income and net investment income in the upcoming quarters?

Answer

The excerpt you provided from Palmer Square Capital BDC Inc.’s (NYSE: PSBD) second‑quarter 2025 results does not contain any statements from management about the company’s outlook for investment income or net investment income in the upcoming quarters. The only quantitative details included are historical figures for the quarter that just ended:

  • Total investment income: $31.7 million for Q2 2025 (down from $36.5 million in Q2 2024)
  • Net investment income: $13.8 million, or $0.43 per share, for Q2 2025

Because no forward‑looking guidance, commentary, or expectations were included in the provided summary, we cannot provide specifics on how management expects investment income or net investment income to perform in the next quarter(s).

What you can do next

  • Review the full press release on Business Wire (or the company’s investor‑relations website). Companies typically include a “Management Outlook” or “Guidance” section in the complete earnings release, which will detail expected investment income, net investment income, and any factors influencing those projections.
  • Listen to the earnings call transcript (if available). Management often elaborates on future expectations and discusses market conditions, portfolio performance, and other drivers during the call.
  • Check recent SEC filings (e.g., Form 8‑K or Form 10‑Q) for any disclosed forward‑looking statements or updated guidance.

Until those sources are consulted, the only information we can confirm is the historical performance for Q2 2025, not the management outlook for the coming periods.
