Fundamentals
Valuation and ratings
SLR Investment Corp. trades at USD12.94, which is 40% below the USD18.16 our discounted cash flow model puts on the business. On that measure alone it screens as undervalued, though a DCF is an argument rather than a measurement, and the market is frequently right about why something is cheap.
Our moat model scores it 59 out of 100, which is a moat, but not a deep one. A moat is a structural reason competitors cannot take the profits away, and it matters more to a long holding period than any single quarter's numbers do.
It changes hands at 8.0 times earnings. Be careful reading that in isolation: for a cyclical business a low P/E arrives at the top of the cycle, when profits are peaking and about to fall, which is exactly when the shares look cheapest and are not.

Estimates are the published analyst consensus and move often. An earnings date is scheduled, not certain, and a share tends to reprice most violently on the day itself.

Common questions
Is SLR Investment Corp. (SLRC) undervalued?
Against our discounted cash flow estimate of USD18.16, SLRC at USD12.94 is 40% below fair value. That is one model's answer, not a recommendation, and most of a DCF's output sits in a terminal value nobody can forecast.
Which funds own SLRC?
2 of the institutions we track reported a position in SLRC in their most recent SEC 13F filing. A 13F is filed up to 45 days after quarter end, so it tells you what a fund held then, not what it holds now.
What is SLRC's P/E ratio?
SLRC trades at 8.0 times earnings. A low P/E is not automatically cheap: on a cyclical company it is usually a warning that earnings are at a peak.
Does SLR Investment Corp. (SLRC) pay a dividend?
Yes. SLR Investment Corp. yields 11.74% at the current share price. It has paid USD1.54 per share over the trailing twelve months. It has paid a dividend in each of the last 16 complete calendar years. A dividend is declared by the board and can be cut at any time; a yield is a fact about the current price, not a promise.
