# New Mountain Finance Corporation (NMFC) fundamentals

Data as of 2026-09-08. NASDAQ, United States. Sector: Financial Services / Capital Markets. Price $7.48, market value $707 million.

## Valuation
- **P/E (trailing): n/a** (negative earnings). New Mountain Finance Corporation reported negative earnings over the last twelve months, so the P/E is not meaningful; use price-to-sales, EV/EBITDA and free-cash-flow yield instead.
- **Price / book: 0.7×**. The shares trade below book value, which can signal a bargain or a balance sheet the market doubts.

## Profitability
- **Return on equity: 1.4%**. 1.4% on shareholders' equity is weak; the business earns little on the capital its owners have in it.

## Growth
- **EPS growth (1 yr): -84.5%** (3-yr -40.0%/yr, 5-yr -23.2%/yr). Earnings per share fell 84.5%.

## Financial health
- **Piotroski F-score: 4/9**. 4 of 9 checks pass: mixed.
- **Cash and short-term investments: $81 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: 15.22%** ($1.21 per share, trailing). New Mountain Finance Corporation yields 15.22%, high enough to check carefully: yields this high often precede a cut.
- **Payout ratio: 823%**. The dividend exceeds earnings (823% payout), which is rarely sustainable outside REITs and one-off years.
- **Dividend growth (5 yr): 0.6%/yr** (1-yr -6.6%). The dividend has grown 0.6% a year over five years.

## Price and momentum
- **Total return (1 yr): -19.0%** (YTD -12.5%, 3-mo -1.3%). The shares are down 19.0% over twelve months including dividends.
- **From 52-week high: -29.4%** (11.1% above the low). Trading 29% 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): 50**. An RSI of 50 is neutral.
- **Beta (1 yr): 0.59** (volatility 25%). Beta of 0.59 against the S&P 500: the shares move much less than the market.
