Estimates and results for FDUS via Financial Modeling Prep. Beating consensus says the company cleared the bar analysts set, not that the business grew.
Valuation
Project earnings forward and see what return today's price implies.
Seeded from FDUS's reported EPS growth of -16.4% a year over 4 years. Historical EPS growth of -16% would project the company towards zero. Floored at -15% as a starting point.
- EPS in 5 years
- $1.03
- Implied price
- $8.24
- Return from $19.59
- -15.9% a year
To earn 15.0% a year on these assumptions you'd need to buy at $4.10 — -79.1% below today's price.
How sensitive is that answer?
Annual return across nearby assumptions. If the result is only attractive in one corner, that is the finding.
| growth \ P/E | 4 | 6 | 8 | 10 | 12 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| -25.0% | -35.4% | -29.9% | -25.8% | -22.4% | -19.5% |
| -20.0% | -31.1% | -25.3% | -20.8% | -17.2% | -14.2% |
| -15.0% | -26.8% | -20.6% | -15.9% | -12.1% | -8.8% |
| -10.0% | -22.5% | -15.9% | -11.0% | -6.9% | -3.4% |
| -5.0% | -18.2% | -11.3% | -6.0% | -1.7% | 1.9% |
This is arithmetic on assumptions you chose, not a forecast or a recommendation. It ignores dividends, buybacks, share issuance and debt, and it assumes a company still earning money in 5 years. Change any input and the answer changes a lot — that sensitivity is the honest result, not a flaw in the model.

Fidus Investment: Paying Up For Quality Has Its Limits Fidus Investment experienced a near-term lag versus the BDC sector, as anticipated, due to tough Q2 comps and market sensitivity to NII declines. While Q2 brought in balanced results (and thus no abnormally high comp for Q3), I am still reluctant to turn bullish here. My dilemma is paying a premium to NAV and an even more aggressive premium compared to other externally managed BDCs, given the current fundamentals.
