Biggest thing to watch: the price is not yet in a clear uptrend, so timing is the risk more than the business. ## What is the Burford Capital Limited share price today? Burford Capital Limited's share price was $3.79 at the close on 3 November 2026. That is 28.8% below its average price over the last 200 trading days. In the last 52 weeks it traded between $3 and $10, and at that close it sat 12% of the way up from that low. Over the past 13 weeks it has done worse than the S&P 500, and it has been behind for 37 weeks running. Over the last 1 year the share price moved −73% while the S&P 500 moved +21%, so it is behind the index over that whole period. It was last ahead over 13 weeks in the week of 20 February 2026. The chart above shows the 13-week comparison for every week. This page treats a rise as over when the price closes below its 200-day average on two Fridays in a row. ## What dividend does Burford Capital Limited pay? Burford Capital Limited paid $0.25 per share over the last four reported quarters. The most recent declaration was $0.06 for Dec 2025. At today's price of $3.79 that is a yield of 6.60%, based on dividends already paid, not a forecast. ## Which stock lists is Burford Capital Limited on? Burford Capital Limited is not in the Nasdaq 100, the S&P 500 or the Dow Jones 30, and is not on the US tech stocks list. ## Is Burford Capital Limited profitable? Burford Capital Limited earned $2.2 M of net profit in the Jun 2026 quarter, −97.5% on the same quarter a year earlier. Full-year FY25 profit was $62.6 M. That is 1.9% of the quarter's revenue. The same quarter a year earlier earned $88.3 M. 5 of the last 12 reported quarters were loss-making. For the full year, FY25 profit was $62.6 M (−57.3% on the year before). Why profit moved: revenue changed −37.2% on a year earlier and the margin moved −47.1 percentage points. Sales did the work while the margin got thinner. On average over the last four quarters, profit changed −1,862.8% and revenue −449.9%. Profit is growing slower than sales: rising costs are taking part of the growth. ## How much revenue does Burford Capital Limited make, and is it growing? Burford Capital Limited reported $113 M of income in the Jun 2026 quarter, −37.2% on the same quarter a year earlier. Over 4 years it has grown 14.5% a year on average. The last full year, FY25, came in at $383 M. The last four reported quarters add to −$1.5 B. FY25 revenue was $383 M, −31.8% on the year before. Recent pace: the last four quarters grew −449.9% on average, against 14.5% a year over the longer run, so this year is growing slower than its own long-run rate. ## How much does Burford Capital Limited keep from what it earns? Burford Capital Limited's net margin was 1.9% in the Jun 2026 quarter, 47.1 percentage points lower than the same quarter a year ago. Across 5 years it has been between −12.9% and 56.6%. The latest quarter is within that range. Why: the net margin move is clear, but the cost details behind it are not in our data, so we show the move without guessing the reason. ## How many of Burford Capital Limited's loans have gone bad? Burford Capital Limited does not report loan-quality figures this page can read, so this section says so rather than guess. No bad-loan figures are filed in a form this page can read, and none are guessed from the profit line. The income, margin and return sections carry what this business does report. Why: loan quality drives a lender, but its details (new bad loans, recoveries, money set aside) are not in our data for this company. The sections around this one carry what we can back up. ## How fast is Burford Capital Limited's loan book growing? Burford Capital Limited's revenue was $383 M in FY25, −31.8% on the year before, so the loan book is not growing. The latest quarter was −37.2% on a year earlier. The net margin on that income is 1.9%, −47.1 percentage points on a year ago. Interest income stands in for the size of the loan book; changes in interest rates can move it a few points in any year. In short: a lender grows well when its loan book grows, its margin stays steady and its loans stay clean. Quarterly loan-quality figures are missing here, so revenue growth and margin are the two we watch. ## What is Burford Capital Limited's P/BV ratio, and how does it compare with its own history? Burford Capital Limited's P/BV is 1.0×, in the middle of its own history: higher than 44% of past readings. Its usual P/BV (the middle reading) is 1.1×, over 1 year of weekly prices. This compares the share price with the company’s own past. It does not say what the business is worth. Why the multiple is low: this lender earns about −72% a year on its equity. A lender that earns less on its net worth is valued lower for each dollar of it, and that gap usually closes only if returns improve. Why the multiple is where it is: over the past year book value grew while the price moved −61.9%. Price and book value moved together, so the multiple stayed in its range. In short: the multiple is about average against its own past, so the book value trend underneath matters more than the multiple. ## Is the Burford Capital Limited business getting better or worse? Burford Capital Limited's business is getting worse. Revenue, profit and EPS growth are shrinking: revenue growth is −332.8% in the latest quarter, against +1449.3% at its best in 12 quarters, with ROE falling at 2.7%. This is based on 12 quarters of 4 measures. Why it matters: falling lines mean any ratio below that looks low should be read with that direction in mind. ## How much does Burford Capital Limited earn on its equity and assets? Burford Capital Limited earned a return on equity of 2% in FY25. Its lowest yearly reading on file was −1% in FY21. On its assets, every $100 earned about −$18.24, before the effect of borrowing. For a lender the balance sheet is the business, so the return on equity and on assets have to be read together. That return is below the level a bank needs to grow its net worth quickly, which helps explain why its multiple is where it is. Why: the ROE chart shows the move, but the deposit-cost and bad-loan details behind it are not in our data. ## Does Burford Capital Limited have too much debt? For a bank, borrowing is the raw material of the business, not a warning sign: it borrows money in order to lend it out. Its safety is read through its returns and its loans. Its safety is read from the bad-loan figures and the return on equity instead. For a manufacturer, debt is a claim on its profits. For a lender it is the stock it trades in, so the usual debt-to-equity test would mislead and is not used here. ## What is the Burford Capital Limited shareholding pattern? 8.2% of Burford Capital Limited's tradable shares are in short positions, which are bets that the price will fall, so some traders are betting against it. At normal trading volumes, closing those positions would take about 7.0 days. US companies do not publish a quarter-by-quarter list of owners, so this page uses short interest instead. It is a single reading at one point in time; we do not have its history. Why it is at this level: the figure does not say who holds the short positions or why, so we show the level without guessing the story. ## How far is Burford Capital Limited from balance-sheet trouble? For Burford Capital Limited, the Z-score is not used, because it was built for manufacturers, not lenders. For a lender, safety is read from its capital and bad-loan figures instead. ## How does Burford Capital Limited rank in its industry?
