PhenixFIN Corporation Announces First Quarter 2026 Financial Results
NEW YORK, Feb. 09, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- PhenixFIN Corporation (NASDAQ: PFX, PFXNZ) (the "Company"), a publicly traded business development company, today announced its financial results for the first fiscal quarter of 2026.
Highlights
- First quarter total investment income of $6.7 million; net investment income of $2.1 million
- Net asset value (NAV) of $155.8 million, or $77.92 per share as of December 31, 2025
- Weighted average yield was 12.52% on debt and other income producing investments
David Lorber, Chief Executive Officer of the Company, stated:
“During the quarter, we generated solid investment income, supported by a 12.52% weighted average yield on income producing investments. While mark-to-market declines in certain equity positions weighed on results, these reflected company-specific softness despite a generally favorable economic backdrop. With our portfolio focused on U.S. companies, and with policy makers signaling support for domestic growth and a more supportive rate environment, we expect U.S. fundamentals to improve throughout 2026.”
