Valuing Sixth Street Specialty Lending stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Sixth Street Specialty Lending's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Sixth Street Specialty Lending's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 10x. In other words, Sixth Street Specialty Lending shares trade at around 10x 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.
Sixth Street Specialty Lending's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 1.2745. 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 Sixth Street Specialty Lending's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.

Dividend payout ratio: 43.88% of net profits
Recently Sixth Street Specialty Lending has paid out, on average, around 0% 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), Sixth Street Specialty Lending shareholders could enjoy a 0% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Sixth Street Specialty Lending's case, that would currently equate to about $0.54 per share.
While Sixth Street Specialty Lending's payout ratio might seem fairly standard, it's worth remembering that Sixth Street Specialty Lending may be investing much of the rest of its net profits in future growth.
Sixth Street Specialty Lending's most recent dividend payout was on 30 December 2024. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 28 November 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").
Sixth Street Specialty Lending's shares were split on a 66:1 basis on 2 December 2013 . So if you had owned 1 share the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 66 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Sixth Street Specialty Lending shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 98.5% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Sixth Street Specialty Lending shares which in turn could have impacted Sixth Street Specialty Lending's share price.
Over the last 12 months, Sixth Street Specialty Lending's shares have ranged in value from as little as $18.4211 up to $21.4661. 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 Sixth Street Specialty Lending's is 1.063. This would suggest that Sixth Street Specialty Lending'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).
