Wells Fargo upgraded Golub Capital BDC (NASDAQ: GBDC) from Market Perform to Outperform, price target range $14.50-$15.25 from $14-14.50.

Wells analyst said, "We believe the current price does not fully reflect company fundamentals. This upgrade is based on three key points: (1) a compelling quality trade--GBDC sits in the highest-ranked quartile in our BDC Scorecard and we believe Quartile 1 names may provide improved risk-adjusted returns in the event of a market pullback, (2) compelling valuation--GBDC trades well below intrinsic value as measured by our proprietary valuation system, which implies 11% total upside to current levels, and (3) franchise value--GBDC remains a market leader in terms of low cost management fees as well as a best in class operating platform (which we expect will lead to a premium valuation over time). For more information on our upgrade/industry thesis, please see our recently published BDC Scorecard."
