# Oxford Lane Capital Corp. (OXLC) fundamentals

Data as of 2026-11-04. NASDAQ, United States. Sector: Financial Services / Capital Markets. Price $6.47, market value $634 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: 0.6×**. The shares trade below book value, which can signal a bargain or a balance sheet the market doubts.
- **Free-cash-flow yield: 11.9%** (5-yr avg -23.7%). Free cash flow equals 11.9% 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: 37.10%** ($5.10 per share, trailing). Oxford Lane Capital Corp. yields 37.10%, 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: 19.7%**. Dividends plus net buybacks return 19.7% of the market value a year.

## Price and momentum
- **Total return (1 yr): -46.2%** (YTD -45.9%, 3-mo -29.7%). The shares are down 46.2% over twelve months including dividends.
- **From 52-week high: -58.0%** (2.9% above the low). Trading 58% below its 52-week high, deep in a drawdown.
- **200-day average: below**. The price sits below its 200-day moving average, the usual definition of a downtrend.
- **RSI (14-day): 17**. An RSI of 17 is oversold; bounces are common, but oversold can stay oversold in a real decline.
- **Beta (1 yr): 0.70** (volatility 33%). Beta of 0.70 against the S&P 500: the shares move much less than the market.
