INTRINSIC VALUE TODAY
$7.36
Trading above historical range
How this is calculated: We use a Growth Decay Model: starting with analyst consensus growth (adjusted above) and gradually slowing it down to a long-term terminal rate (4%) by Year 5. This provides a more realistic valuation than assuming constant hyper-growth. We then apply a 9.8x Exit PE.
In-depth Analysis How we analyze
Valuation Analysis: GBDC is currently trading at $13.34, which is considered extended relative to its 30-day fair value range of $12.51 to $13.31. The stock's valuation (Forward PE: 10.2) is in line with its historical norms (9.8). At these levels, the market is pricing in 1.2% annual earnings growth.
Technical Outlook: Technically, GBDC is in a downtrend. The price is currently testing key support at $13.01. A bounce from this level would confirm strength, while a break below could signal further downside.
