Oxford Lane Capital Corp (OXLC) Fair Value & Analysis
Financial Services · US · Market cap $812M
Fair value as of: Jul 27, 2026
From 2 valuation models · updated 14 days ago
Share price +1.3% over the past month.
Below-average quality, and screening another 22% overvalued on our models.
What matters now
- The price sits above even our optimistic bull case ($8.97). The favourable scenario is already priced in.
- Weak quality (22/100) and above fair value at the same time, the margin of safety is missing on both counts.
- For a financial, book-value and earnings-based methods matter more than a cash-flow DCF, which fits banks and insurers poorly.

Analysis
Oxford Lane Capital Corp (OXLC) currently trades at $9.20, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $7.17, implying the stock looks roughly 22.0% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 22/100 (below-average quality), in the Financial Services sector. Bear case: priced above our estimate, the market already discounts strong expectations. Bull case: above-average quality can justify a premium, the entry price still matters most (evidence: medium).
Trailing-twelve-month revenue stands at $464M. Revenue declined 10.2% year over year. It earns a return on equity of -39.2%. Net debt stands at $192M. Fundamentals as of Jul 27, 2026
Our scenario range runs from $5.38 (bear case) to $8.97 (bull case); at $9.20, the current price sits above that range. Bear and bull are the same models run on conservative and optimistic assumptions (margins, growth, valuation multiples), so a plausible valuation range, not a price target. The share trades about 37% below its 52-week high and 31% above its 52-week low, currently below its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Financial Services peers we cover trades at -12% fair-value upside, at -22%, OXLC screens richer than that median.
Fair Value models
Each model estimates fair value its own way; the Fair Value above is the evidence-weighted blend. Evidence (0–100) measures how completely this model’s inputs are available: well-fed models carry more weight in the blend. The spread across models is intentional, each one stresses a different value driver; dividend models, for instance, come out structurally low when payout is small.
All 2 models by family
