# Orchid Island Capital Inc. (ORC) fundamentals

Data as of 2026-09-08. NYSE, United States. Sector: Real Estate / Equity Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs). Price $6.55, market value $1.3 billion.

## Valuation
- **P/E (trailing): 3.7×** (5-yr avg 7.8×, 3-yr avg 7.8×). Orchid Island Capital Inc. trades at 3.7× trailing earnings, well below its own five-year average of 7.8×: cheap by its own standards. The Real Estate median in the September 2026 study was 25.2×. Forward P/E is 6.3×, higher than trailing, so analysts expect earnings to fall.
- **PEG: 0.05**. A PEG of 0.05 means the P/E is low relative to expected earnings growth: the market is not paying much for that growth.
- **Price / book: 0.9×**. The shares trade below book value, which can signal a bargain or a balance sheet the market doubts.
- **Earnings yield: 26.7%**. The inverse of the P/E: 26.7% of the price is earned each year.

## Profitability
- **Return on equity: 11.6%**. 11.6% on shareholders' equity is solid.

## Dividends
- **Dividend yield: 18.32%** ($1.38 per share, trailing). Orchid Island Capital Inc. yields 18.32%, high enough to check carefully: yields this high often precede a cut.
- **Payout ratio: 112%**. The dividend exceeds earnings (112% payout), which is rarely sustainable outside REITs and one-off years.
- **Consecutive years of increases: 1**. 1 straight year of increases.
- **Dividend growth (5 yr): -18.3%/yr** (1-yr 0.0%). The dividend has not grown over five years.
