Is Oaktree Specialty Lending stock undervalued or overvalued?
Valuing Oaktree Specialty Lending stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Oaktree Specialty Lending's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Oaktree Specialty Lending's P/E ratio
Oaktree Specialty Lending's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 19x. In other words, Oaktree Specialty Lending shares trade at around 19x recent earnings.
That's relatively low compared to, say, the trailing 12-month P/E ratio for the NASDAQ 100 at the end of 2019 (27.29). The low P/E ratio could mean that investors are pessimistic about the outlook for the shares or simply that they're under-valued.
Oaktree Specialty Lending's PEG ratio
Oaktree Specialty Lending's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 0.9343. A low ratio can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer better value, while a higher ratio can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer worse value.
The PEG ratio provides a broader view than just the P/E ratio, as it gives more insight into Oaktree Specialty Lending's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.

Oaktree Specialty Lending share dividends
Dividend payout ratio: 98.7% of net profits
Recently Oaktree Specialty Lending has paid out, on average, around 98.7% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 13.41% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Oaktree Specialty Lending shareholders could enjoy a 13.41% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Oaktree Specialty Lending's case, that would currently equate to about $2.2 per share.
Oaktree Specialty Lending's payout ratio would broadly be considered high, and as such this stock could appeal to those looking to generate an income. Bear in mind however that companies should normally also look to re-invest a decent amount of net profits to ensure future growth.
Oaktree Specialty Lending's most recent dividend payout was on 29 September 2024. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 15 September 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").
Have Oaktree Specialty Lending's shares ever split?
Oaktree Specialty Lending's shares were split on a 1:3 basis on 22 January 2023 . So if you had owned 3 shares the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 1 share. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Oaktree Specialty Lending shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 200% higher share price could have impacted the market appetite for Oaktree Specialty Lending shares which in turn could have impacted Oaktree Specialty Lending's share price.
Oaktree Specialty Lending share price volatility
Over the last 12 months, Oaktree Specialty Lending's shares have ranged in value from as little as $15.0378 up to $19.7612. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".
Beta is a measure of a share's volatility in relation to the market. The market (NASDAQ average) beta is 1, while Oaktree Specialty Lending's is 1.134. This would suggest that Oaktree Specialty Lending's shares are a little bit more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a slightly higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
