FSK Investors Were Told Non-Accrual Problems Were Being Fixed While Credit Deterioration Quietly Accelerated to Above-Industry Levels, Ultimately Costing Shareholders

NEW YORK, June 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- SueWallSt notifies investors in FS KKR Capital Corp. (NYSE: FSK) that a class action has been filed on behalf of shareholders who purchased securities between May 8, 2024 and February 25, 2026. Find out if you qualify to recover losses. You may also contact Joseph E. Levi, Esq. at jlevi@SueWallSt.com or (888) SueWallSt.

FSK shares fell $2.03 per share, or 15.24%, closing at $11.29 on February 26, 2026, after the Company slashed its quarterly dividend from $0.70 to $0.48 and revealed non-accrual rates had risen above the long-term BDC industry average. The lead plaintiff deadline is July 6, 2026.

What Investors Were Not Told

For five consecutive quarters through Q1 2025, management publicly stated that restructuring efforts were successfully reducing non-accrual investments. Each quarterly press release reinforced this narrative. Behind the scenes, the lawsuit contends, credit deterioration in legacy portfolio companies was worsening in ways that contradicted these public assurances.

The securities action alleges the Company overstated both the effectiveness of its restructuring process and the accuracy of its portfolio valuations, while concealing that non-accrual trends were reversing course.

The Red Flags That Emerged

• Non-accrual investments at amortized cost dropped from 8.9% in December 2023 to 3.5% by March 2025, giving the appearance of steady improvement, then spiked to 5.5% by December 2025
• The complaint alleges management continued to tout "portfolio stability" and "continued stability of distributions" even as fair value losses accumulated across multiple portfolio companies
• Production Resource Group, 48forty, Kellermeyer Bergensons Services, and Worldwise were identified as problem investments in August 2025, yet the Company maintained these were merely "company specific issues"
• By February 2026, the Company acknowledged additional troubled investments including Medallia and Cubic Corp
• The Company's Chief Investment Officer admitted the non-accrual rate exceeded the long-term BDC industry average of approximately 3.8% at cost basis

Inside Knowledge vs. Public Statements

The contrast between what management said publicly and what was allegedly occurring internally forms the core of the concealment allegations. As detailed in the action, each quarter's earnings release affirmed that disclosure controls and procedures were "effective" and that the board was responsibly overseeing portfolio valuations. The lawsuit maintains these certifications were misleading because known deterioration in legacy investments was not adequately reflected in reported valuations or communicated to shareholders.

The complaint charges that total fair value of investments fell $474 million in Q2 2025 and another $406 million in Q4 2025, losses that plaintiffs contend were foreseeable given the underlying credit problems management allegedly knew about but failed to disclose.

"The timeline raises important questions about when certain risks were known internally versus when they were disclosed to the investing public. For five quarters, investors received assurances of improvement while the portfolio's credit profile was allegedly headed in the opposite direction." -- Joseph E. Levi, Esq.
