BeBeez Trading Floor roundup with eToro support about the performances of private capital firms listed on global exchanges.
The removal of FED’s executive Lisa Cook heightened market participants’ fears about the independence of the US central bank. However, the macroeconomic frame between 25 and 29 August, Monday and Friday, has been substantially stable and the performance of the private capital stocks that BeBeez and eToro monitor on Trading Floor is mainly a consequence of technical trading.
NYSE-listed Crescent Capital BDC (+3%) benefited from an upward revision from 46 cents to 48 US Dollar cents of earnings per share estimates by some analysts despite a second below-expected 2025 quarterly report. This resulted in a sharp increase in the implied volatility on options with settlement on 19 September 2025, a symptom of widespread expectations of strong movements in the stock, in this case presumably to the upside, which triggered strong interest in the underlying stock.
NYSE-listed private credit firm New Mountain Finance Corp (NMFC +2.6%), a lender to private equity portfolio companies, also benefited of the payment announcement of US Dollars 32 cents per share and of an up to 16 million US Dollars shares buyback despite disappointing results for 2Q25. The company’s management also launched a dividend protection programme and pointed out that NMFC has a portfolio of prime credits and 86% is floating rate and therefore have a sheltered from risk of monetary policy changes.
NYSE-listed Brookfield Infrastructure Partners (+2.5%) is benefiting from a strong increase (45%) income from investments in datacenters.
Paris-listed Wendel (-4.3%), the former family office of French eponymous entrepreneurs, is suffering from the long wave of very disappointing results for 1H25, culminating in the collapse of net profit to 4.3 million euros from 388 million in 1H24 (press release). Furthermore, the French stock market’s volatility increased for the country’s political turmoil.
