Blackstone Secured Lending's Software Exposure Poses Key Asset-Quality Risk -- Market Talk

Dow Jones
06/02

0247 GMT - Blackstone Secured Lending Fund's software exposure--its largest by industry--could be a key risk to its asset quality, says S&P Global Ratings in a report. Concerns of a potential artificial-intelligence disruption to software companies have been contributing to market volatility across the direct lending and leveraged finance market, S&P says. While Blackstone Secured Lending's portfolio companies have yet to see a significant impact from such disruptions, S&P notes any underperformance could materially affect the business-development company's asset quality and the ability of lenders to refinance debt at maturity. Its software investments at fair value were $2.9 billion against a cost basis of $3.0 billion, representing about a 5% markdown, S&P notes. S&P revises its outlook for Blackstone Secured Lending to stable from positive, citing lower financial flexibility and deterioration in asset quality. (megan.cheah@wsj.com)
