## Valuation
- **P/E (trailing): 3.2×** (5-yr avg 1475.1×, 3-yr avg 668.6×). Schroder Oriental Income Fund Limited trades at 3.2× trailing earnings, well below its own five-year average of 1475.1×: cheap by its own standards. The Financial Services median in the September 2026 study was 13.1×.
- **Price / sales: 2.3×**. Each dollar of revenue is priced at 2.3×.
- **Price / book: 1.1×**. The shares trade at 1.1× book value; book value is a meaningful part of the valuation.
- **EV / EBITDA: 2.5×**. Enterprise value is 2.5× operating earnings before depreciation, the multiple that ignores how the company is financed; below 8× is inexpensive for most sectors.
- **Free-cash-flow yield: 7.6%** (5-yr avg 0.1%). Free cash flow equals 7.6% of the market value, above its five-year average of 0.1%, so the shares are cheaper on cash than they have usually been. Above 5% is generally attractive.
- **Earnings yield: 31.6%**. The inverse of the P/E: 31.6% of the price is earned each year.

## Profitability

- **Net margin: 94.6%**. 94.6% of each dollar of sales reaches the bottom line.

- **EPS growth (1 yr): -8.9%** (3-yr 84.6%/yr). Earnings per share fell 8.9%, slower than revenue, so margins compressed.
