# PIMCO Income Strategy Fund II (PFN) fundamentals

Data as of 2026-11-04. NYSE, United States. Sector: Financial Services / Capital Markets. Price $6.30, market value $623 million.

## Valuation
- **P/E (trailing): n/a** (negative earnings). PIMCO Income Strategy Fund II 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 / sales: 9.3×**. Each dollar of revenue is priced at 9.3×.
- **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: -17.1%** (5-yr avg 19.6%). Free cash flow is negative: the business is consuming cash, which is normal for heavy investment phases but a warning otherwise.

## Profitability
- **Net margin: 99.8%**. 99.8% of each dollar of sales reaches the bottom line.
- **Return on equity: 9.7%**. 9.7% on shareholders' equity is weak; the business earns little on the capital its owners have in it.
- **Return on assets: 6.6%**. Each dollar of assets produces 6.6% of profit; low single digits are normal for banks and insurers.

## Growth
- **Revenue growth (1 yr): -27.8%** (3-yr 27.9%/yr). Revenue fell 27.8% over the last year.

## Financial health
- **Cash and short-term investments: $2 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: 13.68%** ($0.86 per share, trailing). PIMCO Income Strategy Fund II yields 13.68%, high enough to check carefully: yields this high often precede a cut.
- **Payout ratio: 113%**. The dividend exceeds earnings (113% payout), which is rarely sustainable outside REITs and one-off years.
- **Consecutive years of increases: 3**. 3 straight years of increases.
- **Dividend growth (5 yr): -2.1%/yr** (1-yr 0.0%). The dividend has not grown over five years.
- **Shareholder yield: 9.6%**. Dividends plus net buybacks return 9.6% of the market value a year.

## Price and momentum
- **Total return (1 yr): -8.9%** (YTD -11.0%, 3-mo -12.3%). The shares are down 8.9% over twelve months including dividends.
- **From 52-week high: -17.0%** (4.3% above the low). Trading 17% 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): 46**. An RSI of 46 is neutral.
- **Beta (1 yr): 0.34** (volatility 13%). Beta of 0.34 against the S&P 500: the shares move much less than the market.
