Gladstone Investment share price today

Gladstone Investment Corporation's share price was $15.40 at the close on 4 November 2026. That is 0.2% above its average price over the last 200 trading days. In the last 52 weeks it traded between $14 and $17, and at that close it sat 57% of the way up from that low.

A share price tends to move through four phases: moving sideways (stage 1), rising (stage 2), stalling near a high (stage 3) and falling (stage 4). The phase helps read everything below.

Over the past 13 weeks it has done worse than the S&P 500, and it has been behind for 7 weeks running.

Over the last 1 year the share price moved +9% while the S&P 500 moved +23%, so it is behind the index over that whole period. It was last ahead over 13 weeks in the week of 18 September 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.

Gladstone Investment Corporation paid $0.96 per share over the last four reported quarters. The most recent declaration was $0.24 for Jun 2026. At today's price of $15.40 that is a yield of 6.23%, based on dividends already paid, not a forecast.

A dividend is cash paid out for each share. The 12-month total is the four most recent quarters added together.

Gladstone Investment is not in the Nasdaq 100, the S&P 500 or the Dow Jones 30, and is not on the US tech stocks list.

Gladstone Investment Corporation posted a net loss of $11.9 M in the Jun 2026 quarter. Full-year FY26 profit was $185 M. Over 4 years profit has grown 15.9% a year on average. That loss is 41.8% of the quarter's revenue. The same quarter a year earlier earned $7.8 M. 2 of the last 12 reported quarters were loss-making.

Net profit is what is left after every cost, interest and tax. Earnings per share, dividends and book value all grow from it.

Jun 2026 profit was −$11.9 M, −252.5% on a year earlier. For the full year, FY26 profit was $185 M (+182.8% on the year before).

Why profit moved: revenue changed +20.4% on a year earlier and the margin moved −74.8 percentage points. Sales did the work while the margin got thinner.

On average over the last four quarters, profit changed +66.3% and revenue +10.3%. Profit is growing faster than sales: fixed costs are spread over more sales, so each extra dollar of revenue adds more to profit.

Gladstone Investment Corporation reported $28.4 M of income in the Jun 2026 quarter, +20.4% on the same quarter a year earlier. Over 4 years it has grown 8.1% a year on average. The last full year, FY26, came in at $99.1 M. The last four reported quarters add to $104 M.

For a bank, revenue is everything it earns: interest on its loans plus fees from its businesses.

FY26 revenue was $99.1 M, +5.8% on the year before.

Recent pace: the last four quarters grew +10.3% on average, against 8.1% a year over the longer run, so this year is growing faster than its own long-run rate.

Is growth speeding up? Revenue over the last 12 months grew +9.3%, against +7.9% a year over the last 8 quarters (stabilising); profit over the last 12 months grew +107.4%, against +53.6% a year (accelerating).

Gladstone Investment Corporation's net margin was −41.8% in the Jun 2026 quarter, 74.8 percentage points lower than the same quarter a year ago. Its latest full-year margin is the highest it has ever reported. Across 5 years it has been between 43.6% and 186.5%. The latest quarter is below every full year in that period.

Net margin is what the bank keeps from every $100 of revenue after every cost, provision for bad loans and tax. With big fee businesses in the mix, it is the clearest margin we can read for this bank.

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.

As noted under valuation: when margins are at a record, every ratio built on profit looks better than usual, so a low multiple can mislead.

Gladstone Investment 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.

Gross NPA is the share of the loan book where repayments have stopped. Net NPA is what is left after the money the lender has already set aside for those loans. Falling is good; rising is a warning.

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.

Gladstone Investment Corporation's revenue was $99.1 M in FY26, +5.8% on the year before, so the loan book is growing. The latest quarter was +20.4% on a year earlier. The net margin on that income is −41.8%, −74.8 percentage points on a year ago.

We read the loan book through revenue: when the book and the businesses grow, revenue grows with them. It is only a rough guide, because interest-rate changes and fee swings can move it a few points in any year.

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.

Gladstone Investment Corporation's P/BV is 0.9×, near the low end of its own history: it has been lower only 34% of the time. Its usual P/BV (the middle reading) is 1.0×, 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.

For a bank or lender we compare the price with book value, the net worth on its balance sheet. P/BV is how many dollars the market pays for each $1 of that net worth. Below 1× means the market values it at less than its net worth.

Keep one thing in mind: the net margin is the best this company has ever reported. A multiple that looks low against its own past can mislead when profit is at a record. If margins fall back, today's multiple is higher than it looks.

Why the multiple is where it is: over the past year book value grew while the price moved +10.1%. Price and book value moved together, so the multiple stayed in its range.

In short: the multiple is low against its own past, so the book value trend underneath matters more than the multiple.

Gladstone Investment Corporation's business is getting better. Profit growth hit its low 6 quarters ago at −23.4% and has recovered to +107.4%, with ROE rising at 27.6%. This is based on 12 quarters of 4 measures, with some gaps.

Every business is somewhere on a path of getting better or worse, and this section names where. The last 12 quarters of growth in revenue, profit and earnings per share, plus the return the business earns on its capital, are read as lines. Getting worse: the lines are falling. Turning around: a low point has just formed and the last few quarters are rising from it. Getting better: the rise from the low has lasted. Growing steadily: steady growth with healthy returns. Slowing from a peak: still high, but slowing. When the lines disagree the result is mixed; too little history means no reading. CAGR (compound annual growth rate) is the steady yearly rate that would turn the starting value into the latest one. It is the fairest way to compare growth over different periods. If the 1-year figure is much bigger than the 10-year one, recent growth is running faster than the long-run trend. A dash means there is no figure for that period, or the starting year was a loss, where a growth rate means nothing.

Why it matters: a lasting rise from a low is what this page is built to show.

The return figures here are yearly, not quarterly. They show level and direction only; they can support the growth lines but never decide the reading alone.

This reading has some gaps: at least one line is short, or the return line is not the quarterly series, so treat it with a little more caution.

Compound annual growth rate (%)

Compound annual growth rate over each period, %. Revenue, profit and EPS come from yearly figures; the stock price row is price growth over the same periods. A dash means no figure for that period, or the starting year was a loss.

Gladstone Investment Corporation earned a return on equity of 28% in FY26. Its lowest yearly reading on file was 8% in FY23. On its assets, every $100 earned about $2.42, 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.

Two numbers rate a bank: ROE, what it earns on shareholders’ money, and ROA, what it earns on all its assets. An ROE above about 13 to 15% is healthy; below that, net worth grows slowly.

That is above the level a bank needs to grow its net worth steadily.

Why ROE moved: profit grew 15.9% 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.

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.

We have no ownership or short-position figures for Gladstone Investment Corporation, so this section says so rather than fill the gap. At normal trading volumes, closing those positions would take about 2.3 days. US companies do not publish a quarter-by-quarter list of owners, so this page uses short interest instead.

There is no quarter-by-quarter list of owners here, so we look at short interest: the share of tradable shares held in short positions, which gain if the price falls.

For Gladstone Investment 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.

The Z-score estimates how far a company is from balance-sheet trouble. Above about 3 is safe; below about 1.8 is the danger zone. It was built for manufacturers, so it is not used for banks and lenders.
