## Valuation
- **P/E (trailing): 31.2×** (5-yr avg 8.0×, 3-yr avg 8.0×). DoubleLine Income Solutions Fund of Beneficial Interests trades at 31.2× trailing earnings, well above its own five-year average of 8.0×: investors are paying up relative to the company's past. The Financial Services median in the September 2026 study was 13.1×.
- **Price / sales: 10.3×**. Each dollar of revenue is priced at 10.3×, a level that requires very high margins or very fast growth to justify.
- **Price / book: 0.8×**. The shares trade below book value, which can signal a bargain or a balance sheet the market doubts.
- **Free-cash-flow yield: 9.6%** (5-yr avg 25.9%). Free cash flow equals 9.6% of the market value, below its five-year average of 25.9%, so the shares are pricier on cash than usual. Above 5% is generally attractive.
- **Earnings yield: 3.2%**. The inverse of the P/E: 3.2% of the price is earned each year.

## Profitability
- **Net margin: 98.4%**. 98.4% of each dollar of sales reaches the bottom line.
- **Return on equity: 7.6%**. 7.6% on shareholders' equity is weak; the business earns little on the capital its owners have in it.
- **Return on assets: 5.8%**. Each dollar of assets produces 5.8% of profit; low single digits are normal for banks and insurers.

## Financial health

## Dividends

- **Payout ratio: 132%** (132% of free cash flow). The dividend exceeds earnings (132% payout), which is rarely sustainable outside REITs and one-off years.
