Owl Rock Capital Corporation Price and EPS Surprise
ORCC’s fourth-quarter performance is expected to have gained from higher investment income driven by continued growth in the company’s investment portfolio. Interest income and dividend income are likely to have contributed to the metric’s growth in the to-be-reported quarter.
The investment activities of Owl Rock Capital are likely to have witnessed an uptrend in the fourth quarter on the back of solid demand prevailing for direct lending solutions and large privately placed unitranche loans. Meanwhile, the company’s dividend income is expected to have increased from its significant investments in Wingspire and senior loan fund.
Repayments are expected to stay higher in the fourth quarter compared to ORCC’s prior quarters barring the third quarter of 2021. Origination volume is expected to remain robust in the to-be-reported quarter, which is likely to have paved the way for continued growth of the Owl Rock Capital’s portfolio.
ORCC is likely to have incurred escalating operating expenses in the fourth quarter due to rise in interest expense, management fee, performance based incentive fees, professional fees and, other general and administrative expenses. This, in turn, might have weighed on the company’s margins in the to-be-reported quarter. Interest expenses are likely to have witnessed an uptick due to increased average daily borrowings.
