A solid business, screening 95% undervalued on our models.

What matters now

• The price is below even our cautious bear case ($19.17). The market is more pessimistic than our downside scenario.
• Solid quality (61/100) at a price below fair value, the discount is the argument here, not the business quality.
• For a financial, book-value and earnings-based methods matter more than a cash-flow DCF, which fits banks and insurers poorly.

Analysis

SLR Investment Corp (SLRC) currently trades at $13.10, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $25.56, implying the stock looks roughly 95.1% undervalued today. The Quality Score stands at 61/100 (solid quality), in the Financial Services sector. Bull case: trading below our estimate, it may offer upside if the fundamentals hold. Bear case: a low price can be a value trap when quality is weak or the data is thin (evidence: high), always confirm before acting.

Over the trailing twelve months, SLR Investment Corp generated revenue of $215M at a net margin of 41.8%. Revenue declined 7.3% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 9.1%. Net debt stands at $1.1B. Fundamentals as of Jul 27, 2026

Our scenario range runs from $19.17 (bear case) to $31.95 (bull case); at $13.10, the current price sits below 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 18% below its 52-week high and 8% 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 95%, SLRC screens cheaper 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.

Widest divergence: Earnings-Based ($37.11) versus Asset-Based ($12.23). Highest evidence: Residual Income (76).
