Morgan Stanley Direct Lending Fund has reached a new 52-week low, trading at USD 16.01 as of September 30, 2025. This marks a significant decline for the small-cap finance company, which has seen its stock price decrease by 28.88% over the past year, contrasting sharply with the S&P 500's performance of 16.09% during the same period.

The fund's market capitalization stands at USD 1,562 million, with a price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 9.00, indicating a potentially attractive valuation compared to industry standards. The dividend yield is reported at 5.67%, which may appeal to income-focused investors. However, the company has faced challenges, as evidenced by a pre-tax profit of USD 36.1 million, reflecting a decline of 38.87%.

Despite these hurdles, Morgan Stanley Direct Lending Fund maintains a return on equity of 9.53% and a price-to-book ratio of 0.87. The stock has consistently underperformed against the S&P 500 over the last three years, highlighting ongoing difficulties in achieving positive returns.
