TriplePoint Q2 NII Drops on Higher Interest Costs; $12.5M Buyback Announced
TPVG is trading near its 52-week low of $4.395 (5.8% above the low).
Summary
TriplePoint Venture Growth reported a decline in Q2 net investment income, driven by higher interest expense and lower prepayment income. Net asset value stood at $352.8 million, or $8.67 per share. The company also recognized $12.9 million in realized gains, primarily from a partial sale of its Revolut stake. In a bid to support the stock, management announced a $12.5 million share repurchase program and declared a Q3 regular distribution of $0.23 per share plus supplemental distributions of $0.12 per share for both Q3 and Q4. This follows a Q1 that already showed significant NII and NAV declines, signaling persistent pressure from rising rates and a slower venture environment.
At the time of this announcement, TPVG was trading at $4.65 on NYSE in the Finance sector, with a market capitalization of approximately $187.6M. The 52-week trading range was $4.40 to $6.97.
