Blackstone Secured Lending Fund reports Q3 2026 results and announces dividend reset
Blackstone Secured Lending Fund posted third‑quarter 2026 net investment income of $0.68 per share and declared a fourth‑quarter dividend of $0.77 per share. The board also announced that the regular dividend will be reset to $0.60 per share starting the first quarter of 2027. The fund’s net asset value fell to $25.25 per share and new investments in the quarter totaled $188 million.
Why it matters
The dividend reset lowers the distribution yield for shareholders, which may affect income‑focused investors (the company said the new $0.60 payout represents a 9.5% annualized yield on NAV). The lower NAV and reduced investment activity could also pressure the fund’s share price.
