Sound Point Meridian Declares $0.13 Monthly Common Distribution, Reports Q1 NAV of $9.88
SPMC sits 29% above its 52-week low of $8.36.
Summary
Sound Point Meridian declared monthly common distributions of $0.13 per share for October, November, and December 2026, along with preferred distributions on its Series A and B. First fiscal quarter results show net investment income of $0.24 per share and a GAAP net income of $0.83 per share, driven by $1.19 per share in unrealized gains. NAV per share stood at $9.88 as of June 30, 2026, with an estimated range of $9.56–$9.66 as of July 31, 2026, as disclosed in an SEC filing. The CLO equity portfolio yielded 9.8% on amortized cost, and the company received $16.1 million in cash distributions from its portfolio. This follows a significant Q4 GAAP net loss reported in May, making the return to positive net income a notable swing. The distribution level appears sustainable relative to NII, but the NAV decline from June to July bears watching.
