NAV Plunges 32% to $10.56 in Q4, Oxford Lane Estimates April Rebound to $11.12-$11.42
OXLC sits 23% above its 52-week low of $8.01.
Summary
Oxford Lane Capital Corp. reported a significant 32% decline in its Net Asset Value (NAV) per share, falling from $15.51 on December 31, 2025, to $10.56 on March 31, 2026. The company also provided an unaudited estimate of NAV for April 30, 2026, between $11.12 and $11.42, indicating a partial recovery from the Q4 low. For the fourth fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2026, GAAP Net Investment Income (NII) was $0.56 per share, while Core NII was $1.03 per share. The Board declared monthly common stock distributions of $0.20 per share for July, August, and September 2026. The substantial Q4 NAV decline is a highly material event for this CLO fund, signaling significant asset depreciation or losses that could pressure the stock. While the estimated April NAV rebound offers some relief, the volatility and magnitude of the Q4 drop are concerning. Investors will closely monitor future NAV reports and the sustainability of the dividend, especially given the GAAP NII of $0.56 per share for the quarter is below the $0.60 quarterly dividend.
