Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Reached 10% of the predicted growth at its peak, without hitting the target.
The thesis — published August 14, 2025
OBDC aims to pay steady income with some room for the share price to rise. The company has kept profits strong, earning 10.6% on shareholder money in Q2 and hitting 12 straight quarters of double-digit results. A new $3B equity commitment tied to Meta's AI build helps connect its loans to a fast-growing area. Market signs look OK and getting better, so a plan to build a position in steps seeks income now and a possible rebound.
Primary drivers
- 12 quarters in a row with strong profit levels on shareholder money
- Ties to Meta's AI build, giving exposure to fast-growing demand
- Price trend is getting healthier while still not looking overheated
- Positive sentiment and reliable dividend income help steady the stock
How it played out
OBDC: target was not reached
Lyra published OBDC at 13.46 on Aug. 14, with 12% expected growth and a 14.21 target. The thesis pointed to steady income, Q2 profit of 10.6% on shareholder money, 12 straight quarters of double-digit results, a $3B equity commitment tied to Meta's artificial intelligence build, a healthier price trend, positive sentiment, and reliable dividend income.
Inside the window, OBDC rose only to 13.63 on Sep. 5, a 1.2% peak gain. It stayed below 14.21 and never reached the target. By Nov. 12, it ended at 11.75. The thesis missed.
What happened during the window
On Oct. 23, MarketWatch reported that Meta had entered into a $27 billion private-credit joint venture with Blue Owl Capital to build and manage the Hyperion data center in Louisiana, with Blue Owl funds owning 80% and Meta owning 20%. This was during the measurement window, but it did not prove why OBDC moved.
