# Oxford Lane Capital Corp. (OXLC) fundamentals

Data as of 2026-09-08. NASDAQ, United States. Sector: Financial Services / Capital Markets. Price $9.66, market value $947 million.

## Valuation
- **P/E (trailing): n/a** (negative earnings). Oxford Lane Capital Corp. 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: 0.9×**. The shares trade below book value, which can signal a bargain or a balance sheet the market doubts.
- **Free-cash-flow yield: 8.0%** (5-yr avg -23.7%). Free cash flow equals 8.0% of the market value, above its five-year average of -23.7%, so the shares are cheaper on cash than they have usually been. Above 5% is generally attractive.

## Profitability
- **Net margin: 100.8%**. 100.8% of each dollar of sales reaches the bottom line.
- **Return on equity: -56.7%**. Return on equity is negative because earnings are negative.
- **Return on assets: -32.0%**. Each dollar of assets produces -32.0% of profit; low single digits are normal for banks and insurers.

## Financial health
- **Cash and short-term investments: $97 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: 24.84%** ($5.10 per share, trailing). Oxford Lane Capital Corp. yields 24.84%, high enough to check carefully: yields this high often precede a cut.
- **Consecutive years of increases: 4**. 4 straight years of increases.
- **Dividend growth (5 yr): -2.9%/yr** (1-yr 2.9%). The dividend has not grown over five years.
- **Shareholder yield: 13.2%**. Dividends plus net buybacks return 13.2% of the market value a year.

## Price and momentum
- **Total return (1 yr): -28.6%** (YTD -19.7%, 3-mo 4.7%). The shares are down 28.6% over twelve months including dividends.
- **From 52-week high: -46.0%** (20.6% above the low). Trading 46% below its 52-week high, deep in a drawdown.
- **200-day average: above**. The price sits above its 200-day moving average, the usual definition of an uptrend.
- **RSI (14-day): 62**. An RSI of 62 is neutral.
- **Beta (1 yr): 0.69** (volatility 33%). Beta of 0.69 against the S&P 500: the shares move much less than the market.
