– Company to Host Conference Call and Webcast at 10:00 AM ET Today –
NEW YORK and LONDON, Aug. 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Pearl Diver Credit Company Inc. (NYSE: PDCC, PDPA) (the “Company”) today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2026.
“The recovery we saw across CLO equity markets this quarter came through clearly in our results, with net asset value strengthening as spreads tightened across the capital structure,” said Indranil Basu, Chief Executive Officer of Pearl Diver Credit Company. “We were able to take advantage of that backdrop to execute a larger refinancing programme and further reduce the cost of debt. While we are not calling this a turn in the cycle, we are more constructive about the opportunities we see ahead in CLO equity. Moving forward, we will continue to execute on our disciplined investment strategy in order to continue to create value for our shareholders.”
