Prospect Capital Corporation's share price was $1.55 at the close on 3 November 2026. That is 34.3% below its average price over the last 200 trading days. In the last 52 weeks it traded between $1 and $3, and at that close it sat 4% 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 12 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 Prospect Capital pay? Prospect Capital Corporation paid $0.52 per share over the last four reported quarters. The most recent declaration was $0.12 for Jun 2026. At today's price of $1.55 that is a yield of 33.55%, based on dividends already paid, not a forecast. ## Which stock lists is Prospect Capital on? Prospect 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 Prospect Capital profitable? Prospect Capital Corporation posted a net loss of $38.1 M in the Jun 2026 quarter. Full-year FY26 profit was $29.8 M. Over 5 years profit has grown −50.1% a year on average. That loss is 24.5% of the quarter's revenue. The same quarter a year earlier lost $226 M. 8 of the last 12 reported quarters were loss-making. ## How much revenue does Prospect Capital make, and is it growing? Prospect Capital Corporation reported $156 M of income in the Jun 2026 quarter, −6.7% on the same quarter a year earlier. Over 5 years it has grown 0.2% a year on average. The last full year, FY26, came in at $639 M. The last four reported quarters add to $639 M. FY26 revenue was $639 M, −11.1% on the year before. Recent pace: the last four quarters grew −10.9% on average, against 0.2% 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 −11.1%, against −13.9% a year over the last 8 quarters (stabilising). ## How much does Prospect Capital keep from what it earns? Prospect Capital Corporation's net margin was −24.5% in the Jun 2026 quarter, 111.1 percentage points higher than the same quarter a year ago. Across 6 years it has been between −82.5% and 152.5%. 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 Prospect Capital's loans have gone bad? Prospect Capital 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 Prospect Capital's loan book growing? Prospect Capital Corporation's revenue was $639 M in FY26, −11.1% on the year before, so the loan book is not growing. The latest quarter was −6.7% on a year earlier. The net margin on that income is −24.5%, +111.1 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 Prospect Capital's P/BV ratio, and how does it compare with its own history? Prospect Capital Corporation's P/BV is 0.3×, near the low end of its own history: it has been lower only 3% of the time. Its usual P/BV (the middle reading) is 0.4×, 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 3% 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. In short: the multiple is low against its own past, so the book value trend underneath matters more than the multiple. ## Is the Prospect Capital business getting better or worse? Prospect Capital Corporation'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 12 quarters of 2 measures, with some gaps. Why it matters: with too little history, we say so rather than guess a direction. There are fewer than eight usable quarters, so this page does not guess a direction from so little history. ## How much does Prospect Capital earn on its equity and assets? Prospect Capital Corporation earned a return on equity of 1% in FY26. Its lowest yearly reading on file was −13% in FY25. On its assets, every $100 earned about $4.30, 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 −50.1% a year over 5 years while net worth grew more slowly. When earnings recover faster than net worth builds up, ROE climbs off its low. ## Does Prospect Capital 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 Prospect Capital shareholding pattern? We have no ownership or short-position figures for Prospect Capital Corporation, so this section says so rather than fill the gap. At normal trading volumes, closing those positions would take about 2.8 days. US companies do not publish a quarter-by-quarter list of owners, so this page uses short interest instead. ## How far is Prospect Capital from balance-sheet trouble? For Prospect Capital 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 Prospect Capital rank in its industry?
