Oxford Lane Capital Corp (NASDAQ: OXLC) experienced a significant pre-market plunge of 5.33% on Monday following the release of its fourth-quarter financial results, which fell short of analyst expectations. The company's disappointing performance and declining Net Asset Value (NAV) have raised concerns among investors.
The closed-end management investment company reported quarterly earnings of $0.23 per share, missing the analyst consensus estimate of $0.54 by a substantial 57.41%. This represents a 34.29% decrease compared to earnings of $0.35 per share from the same period last year. Additionally, quarterly sales came in at $121.20 million, falling short of the analyst consensus estimate of $224.45 million by 46%, despite showing a 46.73% increase from the previous year's $82.60 million.
Further adding to investor concerns, Oxford Lane Capital reported a decline in its Net Asset Value (NAV) per share, which dropped from $4.82 on December 31, 2024, to $4.32 as of March 31, 2025. The company also provided an estimated NAV range of $3.98 to $4.08 for April 30, 2025, indicating a continued downward trend. These factors have likely contributed to the negative sentiment surrounding the stock, resulting in the significant pre-market decline.
