Gladstone Capital Corp. Hits New 52-Week Low at $21.52

Gladstone Capital Corp., a microcap company in the capital markets sector, has reached a new 52-week low of USD 21.52 as of October 1, 2025. This decline marks a significant downturn for the stock, which has seen a performance drop of 4.38% over the past year, contrasting sharply with the S&P 500's gain of 16.09% during the same period.
The company's market capitalization stands at USD 582 million, with a price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 7.00, indicating a relatively attractive valuation compared to its peers. Gladstone Capital boasts a notable dividend yield of 14.79%, reflecting its commitment to returning value to shareholders. However, recent financial results have shown a decline, with net sales dropping to USD 18.04 million and pre-tax profit at USD 7.69 million, both at their lowest in recent quarters.

Despite these challenges, the company has demonstrated strong long-term fundamentals, with a return on equity of 15.49% and a price-to-book ratio of 1.19. Institutional investors have also increased their stake in the company, now holding 13.86%, suggesting a level of confidence in its long-term prospects.
