OXLCM: An 8.25% Term Preferred IPO From Oxford Lane Capital

Oxford Lane Capital recently issued the 8.25% Term Preferred Series 2031, now trading below par with a YTM of 9.04%. OXLC's NAV per share has declined 50% year-over-year, driven by over-distribution and portfolio devaluation, raising significant credit risk concerns. The NAV drop, dividend cuts, and a reverse split led to OXLC trading at a discount, eliminating the prior hedging advantage for fixed-income investors.
