Going into OXLC's Q3 FY25 results, my analysis had suggested growth shoots in the overall deal environment. I am glad to see that yesterday's results release is confirming my thesis as net investments activity reached record highs and warehouse investments too saw a growth revival.

OXLC's valuations are at a lower than usual premium to NAV, making buys more acceptable for CLO investors.
