SAR · Saratoga Investment

The AI's read
Stable income, record managed assets, cleared troubled holdings, and share repurchases that added $0.09 per share to net asset value support Saratoga's business. But net asset value fell because of 3 investments, dividends exceeded investment income, and debt refinancing raised costs before loan spreads widened. Those gains and setbacks leave the company's outlook balanced. Chief financial officer Henry Steenkamp plans to leave executive roles on October 31 for health reasons. He will stay on the board and continue some finance and consulting work, providing some continuity.
