The full company name is Blackstone Secured Lending Fund.

Blackstone Secured Lending has seen its share price appreciate by nearly 23% in the past year, leading to a significant premium to its NAV price. BXSL's latest quarter showed a decline in net investment income, but net income increased, and dividend coverage remained solid. I think that a pullback in BDC share prices may occur once interest rates decline, and suggest investors to wait for a better entry point.

BDCs were flat on the week, with a month-to-date gain of nearly 2% supported by decent earnings and a higher-for-longer Fed environment. BDC Q1 earnings reports mostly show a drop in net income, due to seasonality, a pivot to first-lien assets, deleveraging, and a shift to higher-coupon debt.
