Blackstone Secured Lending Fund (NYSE:BXSL) today reported its first-quarter 2026 results.

Brad Marshall, Co-Chief Executive Officer of Blackstone Secured Lending Fund, said, "BXSL reported another strong quarter despite recent market volatility, with net investment income per share fully covering our dividend per share of $0.77, representing an 11.7% annualized dividend yield on NAV of $26.26 per share. New investment activity was nearly $325 million while repayments grew to nearly $450 million. While non-accruals increased during the quarter from historically low levels, our portfolio of primarily first-lien senior secured debt remains well positioned, underpinned by high single-digit percent LTM EBITDA growth across our borrowers and stable interest coverage ratios of 2.0x. Overall, we believe performance continues to be supported by high current income, senior positioning with strong documentation protection, and proactive portfolio management."
