Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Reached 21% of the predicted growth at its peak, without hitting the target.
The thesis — published August 21, 2025
OBDC offers steady income and looks temporarily pushed down even though the business is holding up. The company just reported stronger results, with investment income up 22.5% and an analyst kept a $17 target. Blue Owl also helped arrange Meta's $29B AI financing, showing strong deal flow. If the market calms, a return toward typical levels plus the dividend could lift the stock over the next 0-3 months; wait for signs of momentum turning up.
Primary drivers
- Beat last quarter; investment income rose 22.5% versus last year
- Analyst kept a positive rating and a $17 target, boosting confidence
- Price looks washed out, setting up a potential near-term rebound
- Meta AI financing role highlights Blue Owl's strong lending pipeline
How it played out
OBDC: the target was not reached
Lyra published OBDC at $13.25 on 2025-08-21 with a short-term 14% expected gain toward $14.23. The thesis pointed to steadier income, investment income up 22.5% versus last year, a positive analyst view with a $17 target, a washed-out price, and Blue Owl's role in Meta artificial intelligence financing.
Inside the 2025-08-21 to 2025-11-19 window, OBDC rose to $13.63 on 2025-09-05. That was a 2.9% peak gain, but it stayed below $14.23. It never got there. The stock ended at $11.62, so the thesis missed.
