Oops, something went wrong

ARCC has paid $0.48 per quarter for 12 straight quarters, delivering reliable income but zero dividend growth since March 2023.

Core EPS slipped to $0.47 in both Q1 and Q2 2026, falling below the $0.48 payout as non-accruals climbed to 2.4%.

Management's $1.38 per share in spillover income buffers the payout, but non-accruals crossing 3% would signal real cut risk.
