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 Capital Southwest share price today? Capital Southwest Corporation's share price was $23.25 at the close on 3 November 2026. That is 0.6% below its average price over the last 200 trading days. In the last 52 weeks it traded between $21 and $25, and at that close it sat 53% 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 9 weeks running.

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 Capital Southwest pay? Capital Southwest Corporation paid $2.32 per share over the last four reported quarters. The most recent declaration was $0.58 for Jun 2026. At today's price of $23.25 that is a yield of 9.98%, based on dividends already paid, not a forecast. ## Which stock lists is Capital Southwest on? Capital Southwest 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 Capital Southwest profitable? Capital Southwest Corporation earned $24.4 M of net profit in the Jun 2026 quarter, −8.7% on the same quarter a year earlier. Full-year FY26 profit was $112 M. Over 4 years profit has grown 27.1% a year on average. That is 39.9% of the quarter's revenue. The same quarter a year earlier earned $26.7 M. For the full year, FY26 profit was $112 M (+60.0% on the year before). Why profit moved: revenue changed +9.1% on a year earlier and the margin moved −7.8 percentage points. Sales did the work while the margin got thinner. On average over the last four quarters, profit changed +41.0% and revenue +13.6%. Profit is growing faster than sales: fixed costs are spread over more sales, so each extra dollar of revenue adds more to profit. ## How much revenue does Capital Southwest make, and is it growing? Capital Southwest Corporation reported $61.0 M of income in the Jun 2026 quarter, +9.1% on the same quarter a year earlier. That is the 12th quarter in a row with growth on the year before. Over 4 years it has grown 29.6% a year on average. The last full year, FY26, came in at $232 M. The last four reported quarters add to $237 M. FY26 revenue was $232 M, +13.5% on the year before. Recent pace: the last four quarters grew +13.6% on average, against 29.6% a year over the longer run, so this year is growing slower than its own long-run rate. Is growth speeding up? Revenue over the last 12 months grew +13.5%, against +12.0% a year over the last 8 quarters (stabilising); profit over the last 12 months grew +32.6%, against +21.9% a year (accelerating). ## How much does Capital Southwest keep from what it earns? Capital Southwest Corporation's net margin was 39.9% in the Jun 2026 quarter, 7.8 percentage points lower than the same quarter a year ago. Across 5 years it has been between 27.7% and 52.1%. 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 Capital Southwest's loans have gone bad? Capital Southwest Corporation 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 Capital Southwest's loan book growing? Capital Southwest Corporation's revenue was $232 M in FY26, +13.5% on the year before, so the loan book is growing. The latest quarter was +9.1% on a year earlier. The net margin on that income is 39.9%, −7.8 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 Capital Southwest's P/BV ratio, and how does it compare with its own history? Capital Southwest Corporation's P/BV is 1.4×, in the middle of its own history: higher than 61% of past readings. Its usual P/BV (the middle reading) is 1.4×, 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 10% 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 +14.4%. 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 Capital Southwest business getting better or worse? Capital Southwest Corporation's business is turning around. Profit growth has swung from −16.2% at its low to +32.6%, rising from a low 5 quarters ago, with ROE steady at 10.3%. This is based on 12 quarters of 4 measures. Why it matters: a turn in growth is often where a bigger change starts. The lines say a turn is forming, so the question is whether the next quarters confirm it. ## How much does Capital Southwest earn on its equity and assets? Capital Southwest Corporation earned a return on equity of 11% in FY26. Its lowest yearly reading on file was 6% in FY23. On its assets, every $100 earned about $5.96, 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 ROE moved: profit grew 27.1% a year over 4 years while net worth grew more slowly. When earnings recover faster than net worth builds up, ROE climbs off its low. ## Does Capital Southwest 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 Capital Southwest shareholding pattern? 5.8% of Capital Southwest Corporation'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 6.4 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 Capital Southwest from balance-sheet trouble? For Capital Southwest Corporation, 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 Capital Southwest rank in its industry?
