DBRS issued a statement announcing the affirmation of the rating and Stable trend, as well as its underlying analysis.<\/p>\n<p>\nAccording to DBRS, the affirmed BBB (high) credit ratings reflect the Company\u2019s well-developed franchise and strong operating performance including resilient earnings generation, sound asset-level credit performance, funding depth and diversity, and disciplined leverage over the past year. As such, the Company is at the top end of DBRS\u2019 business development companies (BDC) peer group credit rating range. The Stable trend considers the view that despite moderating economic growth, Hercules is well-positioned within the VC lending ecosystem to weather volatility in its investment sectors driven by sentiment around AI disruption. Additionally, while the Company has not invested in pure-play AI portfolio companies, its portfolio companies are actively integrating AI into product offerings. The Company\u2019s software originations have focused on companies with domain expertise and competencies, which should be more resilient to AI disintermediation given features such as a hardware moat or a highly regulated customer base with elevated switching costs that DBRS believes will support asset-level credit performance.<\/p>\n<p><b>About Hercules Capital, Inc.<\/b><\/p>\n<p>\nHercules Capital, Inc.
