Runway Growth reported net investment income of $0.29 per share for Q1 2026, missing analysts’ expectations; unrealized net losses of $45.4 million reduced NAV per share from $13.42 to $12.13. Investment income and net investment income fell year over year, while the company maintained the quarterly dividend at $0.33. The completed merger with SWK increases the pro forma fair value of the portfolio and platform size materially and is expected to boost net investment income by about $0.03 per share, but introduces integration risks and short‑term margin pressure. Management expects EPS of $0.33 for Q2 and $0.37 for Q3 2026 and stresses growth levers despite ongoing credit and cost risks. » More on de.investing.com
