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 Orchid Island Capital pay? Orchid Island Capital, Inc. paid $1.32 per share over the last four reported quarters. The most recent declaration was $0.30 for Sep 2026. At today's price of $4.79 that is a yield of 27.56%, based on dividends already paid, not a forecast. ## Which stock lists is Orchid Island Capital on? Orchid Island Capital 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 Orchid Island Capital profitable? Orchid Island Capital, Inc. posted a net loss of $179 M in the Sep 2026 quarter. Full-year FY25 profit was $159 M. That loss is 103.7% of the quarter's revenue. The same quarter a year earlier earned $72.1 M. 4 of the last 12 reported quarters were loss-making. Sep 2026 profit was −$179 M, −348.2% on a year earlier. For the full year, FY25 profit was $159 M (+322.3% on the year before). Why profit moved: revenue changed −322.6% on a year earlier and the margin moved +10.7 percentage points. Most of the change came from keeping more of each sale. On average over the last four quarters, profit changed +400.1% and revenue +173.9%. 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 Orchid Island Capital make, and is it growing? Orchid Island Capital, Inc. reported −$173 M of revenue in the Sep 2026 quarter, −322.6% on the same quarter a year earlier. The last full year, FY25, came in at $180 M. The last four reported quarters add to $20.0 M. A growth rate over several years is not shown, because there are too few years of figures to work one out properly. FY25 revenue was $180 M, +229.9% on the year before. Is growth speeding up? Revenue over the last 12 months grew −75.0%, against −48.6% a year over the last 8 quarters (rolling over). ## How much of every $100 of sales does Orchid Island Capital keep? Orchid Island Capital, Inc.'s operating margin was 103.7% in the Sep 2026 quarter, 10.7 percentage points higher than the same quarter a year ago. Across 5 years it has been between 69.2% and 189.5%. The latest quarter is within that range. Why: the operating margin move is clear, but the cost details behind it are not in our data, so we show the move without guessing the reason. ## Is Orchid Island Capital's profit turning into cash? Over the last 2 years, 95% of Orchid Island Capital, Inc.'s reported profit came in as cash from its operations, so the profit is backed by cash. In FY25 it brought in $120 M of operating cash against $159 M of profit. Cash-flow figures here are yearly, because quarterly cash statements are not published, so this section changes once a year. Why: the cash figure is clear, but the day counts behind it are not in our data, so we show it without guessing the reason. What to look at next: no single use of cash stands out. The next section checks both the cash tied up in daily operations and the spending on assets. ## Where does Orchid Island Capital's cash go? Orchid Island Capital, Inc. does not report the customer, stock and supplier day counts a cash cycle needs, so this section looks at its spending on assets instead. Nothing is estimated in place of the missing day counts, so no cash-cycle chart is drawn. In short: neither the daily cycle nor new spending is soaking up the cash, so the picture is fairly clean. ## What is Orchid Island Capital's P/E ratio, and how does it compare with its own history? Orchid Island Capital, Inc.'s P/E is 3.5×, with too little history to compare. This compares the share price with the company’s own past. It does not say what the business is worth. Why the multiple is where it is: over the past year earnings per share moved +115.4% while the price moved −33.7%. Earnings did better than the price, which pulled the multiple down within its own range. In short: there is too little history to say whether the multiple is high or low for this company, so the earnings trend underneath matters more than the multiple. ## Is the Orchid Island Capital business getting better or worse? Orchid Island Capital, Inc.'s business trend cannot be read yet. There are fewer than eight usable quarters of growth figures, so there is not enough history to read the trend. This is based on 11 quarters of 3 measures, with some gaps. Why it matters: with too little history, we say so rather than guess a direction. The latest quarter’s profit includes a one-off item bigger than the normal business, so the profit line is shown but does not count in this reading. One or more growth lines have an extreme jump caused by comparing with a near-zero or loss-making quarter. Those jumps are capped before reading and drawn at the edge of the chart, so one odd quarter does not decide the result. There are fewer than eight usable quarters, so this page does not guess a direction from so little history. ## How much does Orchid Island Capital earn on its capital? Orchid Island Capital, Inc. earned a ROE of 12% in FY25. That is up from a low of −59% in FY22. We cannot compare its return on capital used with its cost of capital from the data we have. It comes from a 88.6% net margin and 0.02× asset turnover (sales divided by assets). Why the return is what it is (FY25): a 88.6% net margin × 0.02× asset turnover × 8.51× leverage (assets divided by equity) ≈ 15.1% on equity. The margin does most of the work; borrowing is a big part of it. ## Does Orchid Island Capital have too much debt? Orchid Island Capital, Inc. has total debt of $10.4 B against shareholder equity of $1.2 B as of Sep 2026, so its debt is 8.84× its equity. Year by year, that ratio went from 8.14 in FY21 to 7.37 in FY25. Keep that borrowing in mind when reading the returns on this page. ## What is the Orchid Island Capital shareholding pattern? 9.8% of Orchid Island Capital, Inc.'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 2.7 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 Orchid Island Capital from balance-sheet trouble? For Orchid Island Capital, Inc., the Z-score is not available, so we say so rather than guess one. It estimates how far the balance sheet is from trouble; it is not a forecast of failure. The debt, cash-flow and return sections show the balance-sheet figures we do have, each with its own date. ## How does Orchid Island Capital rank in its industry?

The score ranks a company within its industry: each measure is scored against the other members. Without that group there is no score, so none is shown. ## Which companies is Orchid Island Capital compared with?
