TriplePoint Venture Growth BDC Corp. (TPVG) reported third‑quarter 2025 results that fell short of analyst expectations. Earnings per share were $0.26 versus a consensus estimate of $0.29, a miss of 10.3%. Total revenue reached $22.66 million, down 6.8% from the $24.05 million forecast.
The earnings shortfall was driven primarily by a decline in investment income. Total investment and other income dropped from $26.5 million in Q3 2024 to $22.7 million in Q3 2025, largely because portfolio yields fell from 15.7% to 13.2% and pre‑payment income was lower. The company’s debt‑investment portfolio grew 17% to $737 million, but the lower yields offset the volume growth.
Despite the miss, TPVG’s pipeline remains robust. The firm signed $421 million of term sheets in Q3 2025, a 4.5‑fold increase over the $93 million signed in the same period a year earlier and a 73% jump from $242 million in Q2 2025. Ninety percent of new commitments came from AI, enterprise software and semiconductor companies, underscoring the firm’s strategic focus on high‑growth technology sectors.
CEO James P. Labe emphasized that AI remains a “clear center of gravity” for the business, noting that Q3 saw the highest level of debt commitments and fundings since 2022. Labe said the company is “positioning TPVG for the future with a focus on increasing scale, durability, income‑generating assets and NAV over the long term.”
Management maintained its Q4 2025 funding guidance of $25 million to $50 million in new fundings, unchanged from the prior quarter. The firm also plans to refinance $200 million of notes in Q1 2026 and will continue its regular quarterly distribution of $0.23 per share with a supplemental $0.02. The net asset value rose to $355.1 million ($8.79 per share) despite the earnings miss, reflecting the portfolio’s growth.
Investors responded positively, reflecting confidence in TPVG’s AI strategy and strong pipeline, which helped offset the earnings miss.
