BXSL · Blackstone Secured Lending Fund
Executive Thesis
Blackstone Secured Lending Fund (BXSL) is rated Buy with a 12-month price target of $30.0, implying approximately 25% upside driven by a deep discount to NAV despite near-term mark-to-market volatility. The fund’s competitive moat stems from Blackstone’s scale and extensive origination platform, supporting a high-quality, predominantly first-lien, floating-rate loan portfolio with strong borrower EBITDA growth and robust liquidity. Net investment income consistently covers dividends, underscoring sustainable earnings, while moderate leverage at 1.3x debt/equity and ample liquidity mitigate downside risk. We recommend accumulating BXSL to capture attractive yield and total return potential supported by a defensive credit profile and Blackstone’s franchise advantage.
