Is Bain Capital Specialty Finance stock undervalued or overvalued?

Valuing Bain Capital Specialty Finance stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Bain Capital Specialty Finance's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.

Bain Capital Specialty Finance's P/E ratio

Bain Capital Specialty Finance's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 9x. In other words, Bain Capital Specialty Finance shares trade at around 9x recent earnings.

That's relatively low compared to, say, the trailing 12-month P/E ratio for the NASDAQ 100 at the end of 2019 (27.29). The low P/E ratio could mean that investors are pessimistic about the outlook for the shares or simply that they're under-valued.

Bain Capital Specialty Finance's PEG ratio

Bain Capital Specialty Finance's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 1.0697. A low ratio can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer better value, while a higher ratio can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer worse value.

The PEG ratio provides a broader view than just the P/E ratio, as it gives more insight into Bain Capital Specialty Finance's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.

Bain Capital Specialty Finance share dividends

Dividend payout ratio: 85.31% of net profits

Recently Bain Capital Specialty Finance has paid out, on average, around 100% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 0% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Bain Capital Specialty Finance shareholders could enjoy a 0% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Bain Capital Specialty Finance's case, that would currently equate to about $1.68 per share.

Bain Capital Specialty Finance's payout ratio would broadly be considered high, and as such this stock could appeal to those looking to generate an income. Bear in mind however that companies should normally also look to re-invest a decent amount of net profits to ensure future growth.

Bain Capital Specialty Finance's most recent dividend payout was on 30 January 2025. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 30 December 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").

Have Bain Capital Specialty Finance's shares ever split?

Bain Capital Specialty Finance's shares were split on a 1019:1000 basis on 11 May 2020 . So if you had owned 1000 shares the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 1019 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Bain Capital Specialty Finance shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 1.9% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Bain Capital Specialty Finance shares which in turn could have impacted Bain Capital Specialty Finance's share price.

Bain Capital Specialty Finance share price volatility

Over the last 12 months, Bain Capital Specialty Finance's shares have ranged in value from as little as $13.5833 up to $17.79. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".

Beta is a measure of a share's volatility in relation to the market. The market (NYSE average) beta is 1, while Bain Capital Specialty Finance's is 1.166. This would suggest that Bain Capital Specialty Finance's shares are a little bit more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a slightly higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
