Oxford Square Capital reported weaker third-quarter earnings metrics and lower future distributions on Friday, October 30, 2026. MarketBeat said net investment income fell to approximately USD 4.9 million, or USD 0.04 per share, from USD 5.1 million, or USD 0.05 per share, in the previous quarter.

Income and net asset value decline

Net asset value per share dropped to USD 1.21 at the end of September from USD 1.29 at the end of the previous quarter. Oxford Square also recorded combined realized and unrealized investment losses of approximately USD 3.3 million, compared with approximately USD 1.1 million in the prior quarter.

Total investment income nevertheless rose to approximately USD 9.9 million from USD 9.4 million. The quarter included purchases of approximately USD 20.8 million of investments and repayments of approximately USD 10.3 million.

Deleveraging shapes portfolio strategy

Oxford Square issued approximately 14.1 million common shares through an at-the-market offering, generating net proceeds of approximately USD 19.4 million. Its debt-to-equity ratio declined to 1.07 times from 1.26 times in the first quarter as the company continued repaying debt.

Management said it is favoring selective secondary-market collateralized loan obligation investments over primary-market opportunities. The approach combines portfolio repositioning with a stated aim of moderate deleveraging and greater investment flexibility.

Lower distributions ahead

The board declared monthly distributions of USD 0.015 per share for January, February and March 2027. Management linked the lower rate to current and expected near-term portfolio earnings power, deleveraging plans and the need to preserve flexibility for secondary-market investments.
