PennantPark Floating Rate Capital declared a monthly supplemental dividend on September 2, 2026, payable October 1, 2026. The event is classified as a special dividend — a one-off payout on top of any regular distribution.
Holders on the record date receive the payment directly. Short sellers face the opposite: they owe a payment in lieu — the dividend they must hand over on any borrowed shares — making this an added cost for anyone short PFLT. With roughly 4% of the free float sold short and a cost to borrow near 2.3%, the borrow market is not especially tight, but the supplemental dividend adds a direct cash liability on top of existing carry costs for short positions. Days to cover sits at around 3.7, suggesting no acute squeeze pressure.
