Is Oxford Lane Capital stock undervalued or overvalued?

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

Oxford Lane Capital's P/E ratio

Oxford Lane Capital's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 5x. In other words, Oxford Lane Capital shares trade at around 5x 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.

Oxford Lane Capital share dividends

Dividend payout ratio: 45% of net profits

Recently Oxford Lane Capital 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), Oxford Lane Capital shareholders could enjoy a 0% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Oxford Lane Capital's case, that would currently equate to about $0.945 per share.

While Oxford Lane Capital's payout ratio might seem fairly standard, it's worth remembering that Oxford Lane Capital may be investing much of the rest of its net profits in future growth.

Oxford Lane Capital's most recent dividend payout was on 28 March 2019. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 14 November 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").

Oxford Lane Capital share price volatility

Over the last 12 months, Oxford Lane Capital's shares have ranged in value from as little as $3.6418 up to $5.3479. 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 (NASDAQ average) beta is 1, while Oxford Lane Capital's is 1.137. This would suggest that Oxford Lane Capital'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).
