Raterman, who is moving to vice chairman.

The investment adviser to Runway Growth and related parties intend to acquire up to 10% of the outstanding common stock over the next 24 months if the shares trade below 70% of net asset value (NAV of $8.49 per share as of March 31, 2026). The stock is trading at $5.29 near its 52‑week low after a 38% decline over six months and appears undervalued according to analysis. The board and management have already approved a separate $15 million buyback program; the company also pays a high dividend yield of about 32% and is externally managed by Runway Growth Capital LLC (affiliated with BC Partners Advisors). » Más en de.investing.com

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. » Más en de.investing.com
