Ares Capital Corporation announced it will report fourth-quarter and full-year 2025 results on Wednesday, February 4, 2026, prior to the opening of the Nasdaq Global Select Market. Management will host a live webcast and conference call at 12:00 p.m. Eastern Time, providing investors with an opportunity to review performance metrics, portfolio updates and forward guidance before the trading day begins.

As the largest publicly traded business development company, Ares Capital’s $28.7 billion portfolio spans 587 companies across 35 industries. This diversification has supported its track record of 65 consecutive quarters of maintained or increased dividends. At a forward yield near 9.4%, a hypothetical $50,000 investment would generate approximately $4,700 of annual passive income, reflecting confidence in stable cash flows from its mix of first-lien senior secured loans, mezzanine debt and equity co-investments.

On January 6, 2026, Ares Capital priced a public offering of $750 million aggregate principal amount of unsecured notes due April 12, 2031, at a coupon of 5.25%. Proceeds will be used for general corporate purposes, including refinancing existing debt and supporting new investment commitments. The notes may be redeemed at par plus a make-whole premium, providing flexibility to optimize the company’s cost of capital over the next five years.
