Lawrence E. Golub, CEO of Golub Capital, said,
Middle market companies had a strong start to 2018, with double-digit revenue growth in the Consumer, Industrials and Technology sectors. Overall, this was the strongest first quarter for year-over-year revenue growth since inception of the Golub Capital Altman Index. Aggregate earnings growth was solid, led once again by the Technology sector. With tax reform giving many households additional spending power and a weak dollar boosting export competitiveness, the U.S. economy appears well positioned for growth in 2018.
