Frequently asked
Is Source Capital a high-quality business?+
Source Capital scores 30 out of 100 on Intrinsiqq's quality score, a weighted blend of 3 metrics each scored 0 to 100, which makes it a lower-quality business on these measures. The score weighs revenue and free-cash-flow growth, operating margins, return on invested capital, share-count change, and balance-sheet strength, all computed from company filings, not opinion. Because valuation only means something relative to quality, the full metric-by-metric breakdown is on the quality scorecard.
Does Source Capital (SOR) pay a dividend, and how much?+
Yes, Source Capital pays a regular dividend of about $2.50 per share per year (typically in quarterly installments), a yield of roughly 5.5% at the current price. That is a payout ratio of about 34.4% of earnings, so the dividend is amply covered by earnings. Source Capital has grown the dividend at roughly 4.8% a year over the past few years. A low headline yield is not the same as a weak dividend: what matters is how well earnings and free cash flow cover the payout and whether it is growing, not the percentage alone. For SOR's full payout history, growth streak and dividend-safety score, see the dividends tab.
Is Source Capital a good stock to buy right now?+
That depends on valuation and quality together, not either alone. you should weigh SOR's valuation and scores 30/100 on quality (lower-quality). It also yields about 5.5%. A cheap price is only a bargain if the business is durable, and a premium can be justified by genuine quality, so the two questions, "is it cheap?" and "is it good?", only make sense side by side. Read the valuation against the quality scorecard, run the DCF on your own assumptions, and decide for yourself. This is analysis from company filings, not investment advice.
