[8-K] SuRo Capital Corp. Reports Material Event

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

SuRo Capital Corp. (Nasdaq: SSSS) filed a Form 8-K on 8 July 2025 to furnish preliminary, unaudited figures for the quarter ended 30 June 2025.

Net asset value (NAV): management estimates NAV at $9.00 – $9.50 per share on 23,888,107 shares outstanding. This compares with $6.66 at 31 Mar 2025 and $6.94 at 30 Jun 2024, implying a quarter-over-quarter increase of roughly 35-43% and a year-over-year increase of 30-37%.

Portfolio composition: 36 positions (33 private, 3 public) at quarter-end.

• New investment: $5.0 million in Plaid Inc. Class A shares on 4 Apr 2025 via 1789 Capital Nirvana II LP; a 7% origination fee was paid.
• Realisations: Sold 222,240 CoreWeave shares for $25.3 million (realised gain $15.3 million) and 151,515 ServiceTitan shares for $15.9 million (gain $5.9 million). Entire directly held stakes in both companies were exited.

Capital return: the Board declared a $0.25 cash dividend on 3 Jul 2025, payable 31 Jul 2025 to holders of record 21 Jul 2025.

The figures are unaudited; actual results may differ when full Q2 results are released in August 2025. Forward-looking statements are subject to customary risks and uncertainties.

Positive

• NAV per share estimated at $9.00 – $9.50, up ~35-43% QoQ and ~30-37% YoY
• $21.2 million realised gains from CoreWeave and ServiceTitan exits, boosting liquidity
• $0.25 per-share cash dividend declared for payment on 31 Jul 2025
• Successful $5 million investment in Plaid Inc. adds a high-profile fintech to the portfolio

Negative

• Figures are preliminary and unaudited; final results may vary
• Complete exit of CoreWeave and ServiceTitan reduces exposure to listed high-growth names, potentially limiting future upside

Insights

Equity Research Analyst

TL;DR: NAV surges >35%, exits deliver $21 m gains, $0.25 dividend — overall positive.

The estimated jump to $9.00–$9.50 NAV per share is substantial, suggesting a material uplift in portfolio valuation or successful realisations. Realised gains of $21.2 million from CoreWeave and ServiceTitan exits underpin liquidity and confirm the portfolio’s mark-to-market accuracy. A $0.25 dividend (≈3.7% of prior-quarter NAV) signals confidence in cash position. The new $5 million Plaid investment maintains growth exposure. Risks stem from the unaudited nature of estimates and reduced exposure to publicly traded names after complete disposals, but the magnitude of NAV expansion outweighs these concerns. I view the disclosure as impactful and favourable.
