Data as of 2026-11-04. NYSE, United States. Sector: Financial Services / Capital Markets. Price $11.61, market value $387 million.

## Valuation
- **P/E (trailing): 17.9×** (5-yr avg 10.9×, 3-yr avg 8.6×). PGIM High Yield Bond Fund Inc. trades at 17.9× trailing earnings, well above its own five-year average of 10.9×: investors are paying up relative to the company's past. The Financial Services median in the September 2026 study was 13.1×.
- **Price / sales: 11.3×**. Each dollar of revenue is priced at 11.3×, a level that requires very high margins or very fast growth to justify.
- **Price / book: 0.7×**. The shares trade below book value, which can signal a bargain or a balance sheet the market doubts.
- **Free-cash-flow yield: 11.3%** (5-yr avg 18.1%). Free cash flow equals 11.3% of the market value, below its five-year average of 18.1%, so the shares are pricier on cash than usual. Above 5% is generally attractive.
- **Earnings yield: 5.6%**. The inverse of the P/E: 5.6% of the price is earned each year.

## Profitability
- **Net margin: 98.8%**. 98.8% of each dollar of sales reaches the bottom line.
- **Return on equity: 6.5%**. 6.5% on shareholders' equity is weak; the business earns little on the capital its owners have in it.
- **Return on assets: 5.3%**. Each dollar of assets produces 5.3% of profit; low single digits are normal for banks and insurers.

## Growth
- **Revenue growth (1 yr): -39.4%** (3-yr 19.0%/yr). Revenue fell 39.4% over the last year.
- **Free-cash-flow growth (3 yr): 7.8%/yr**. Free cash flow has compounded at 7.8% a year over three years.

## Financial health
- **Cash and short-term investments: $3 million**. Leverage ratios are shown differently for banks and insurers, whose balance sheets are built on deposits and reserves; use return on equity and the regulatory capital in the filings instead.

## Dividends
- **Dividend yield: 10.85%** ($1.26 per share, trailing). PGIM High Yield Bond Fund Inc. yields 10.85%, high enough to check carefully: yields this high often precede a cut.
- **Payout ratio: 152%** (118% of free cash flow). The dividend exceeds earnings (152% payout), which is rarely sustainable outside REITs and one-off years.
- **Consecutive years of increases: 7**. 7 straight years of increases.
- **Dividend growth (5 yr): 0.0%/yr** (1-yr 0.0%). The dividend has not grown over five years.

- **From 52-week high: -21.5%** (2.7% above the low). Trading 22% below its 52-week high.
- **200-day average: below**. The price sits below its 200-day moving average, the usual definition of a downtrend.
- **RSI (14-day): 51**. An RSI of 51 is neutral.
- **Beta (1 yr): 0.52** (volatility 12%). Beta of 0.52 against the S&P 500: the shares move much less than the market.
