Prospect Capital Corporation (PSEC) Financials
A multiple compares the market's price with a filed figure; it says what the market pays, not how the business is doing. The market capitalization is the vendor's as of Oct 3, 2026; every other figure is from the SEC filings on this page. Not financial advice.
Newest figures come from the 10-K for FY2026, filed Aug 20, 2026. Each column of the statement tables below links to the filing it was taken from, and every filing is listed on the PSEC SEC filings page.
Prospect Capital Corporation (PSEC) reported $9.0M in revenue for fiscal year 2026, down 27.1% from the prior fiscal year. This page shows its income statement, balance sheet, cash flow statement, and key financial ratios. View 7 years of annual fundamentals and quarterly data, with year-over-year growth rates and compound annual growth rates (CAGR). All figures are derived from SEC filings (10-K and 10-Q reports).
Asset-heavy financing dominates: positive operating cash flow coexists with volatile accounting earnings and ongoing distributions.
In FY2026, operating cash flow reached$516M while net income was$154M , showing that cash generation exceeded reported profit. The same mismatch appeared in FY2025, when earnings were negative but operating cash flow remained positive, so accounting earnings are not a clean proxy for cash produced.
