Rand Capital Corporation (US7521852076) reported USD 0.46 earnings per share for the second quarter of 2026, while net investment income fell 71.20 percent year over year to USD 710,000. Rand Capital lists the results for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, with the company trading on Nasdaq under ticker RAND.

Investment income falls sharply

According to IT Boltwise on September 29, 2026, Rand Capital's net investment income declined from USD 2.5 million in the second quarter of 2025 to USD 710,000 in the second quarter of 2026. The comparison is material because the reported earnings per share of USD 0.46 was supported by other result components.

Total revenue reached USD 1.39 million in the second quarter of 2026, compared with USD 1.24 million in the first quarter of 2026. IT Boltwise attributed pressure on recurring investment income to non-interest-bearing investments and a full write-down of the BMP Swanson investment.

Portfolio value rises to USD 56.5 million

Rand Capital invested USD 6.9 million in two new portfolio companies during the second quarter of 2026, according to IT Boltwise. The fair value of the portfolio rose to USD 56.5 million from USD 48.5 million at the end of 2025, an increase of USD 8.0 million.

The company also declared a quarterly dividend of USD 0.29 per share for the third quarter of 2026. Its net asset value reached USD 17.33 per share, while the weighted average portfolio debt cost was 8.98 percent at June 30, 2026, compared with 11.30 percent at December 31, 2025.

Small market value, concentrated signals

Rand Capital had a market capitalization of USD 30.3 million as of October 2, 2026. Its 52-week range was USD 9.77 to USD 17.49 on the same market-data snapshot, placing the company in a segment where individual portfolio marks and income changes can materially shape the reported quarter.

The central investor question is the balance between recurring income and portfolio appreciation. The second-quarter figures show a USD 1.79 million year-over-year decline in net investment income alongside a USD 8.0 million increase in portfolio fair value. That contrast makes the next report's income quality and dividend coverage more important than earnings per share alone.
