Valuing Orchid Island Capital stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Orchid Island Capital's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Orchid Island Capital's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 15x. In other words, Orchid Island Capital shares trade at around 15x 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.

Dividend payout ratio: 252.63% of net profits
Recently Orchid Island Capital has paid out, on average, around 300% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 0% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Orchid Island Capital shareholders could enjoy a 0% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Orchid Island Capital's case, that would currently equate to about $1.44 per share.
Orchid Island Capital'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.
Orchid Island Capital's most recent dividend payout was on 27 March 2025. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 27 February 2025 (the "ex-dividend date").
Orchid Island Capital's shares were split on a 1:5 basis on 30 August 2022 . So if you had owned 5 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 Orchid Island Capital shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 400% higher share price could have impacted the market appetite for Orchid Island Capital shares which in turn could have impacted Orchid Island Capital's share price.
Over the last 12 months, Orchid Island Capital's shares have ranged in value from as little as $6.723 up to $8.8812. 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 (NYSE average) beta is 1, while Orchid Island Capital's is 1.908. This would suggest that Orchid Island Capital's shares are more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
