Main Street Capital Corp (MAIN) News

So far so good. It needs a little dividend boost. Thank you.

as share price increases so do dividends

I would have to disagree. I have read that throughout the market history over 60% of gains come from dividends. I would rather keep my shares and have it pay me the rest of my life than to have to sell it just to get my money back.

Might be better for the reinvestment but generally a raise in share price is always where the real money comes. Dividends are just a bonus! Look at BEN

I prefer it when the price stays the same as I have been dripping my dividends since 2016. When the price gets high I get less shares per month. All I care about is that their profits and dividends increase every year.

I've been a share holder since 2016 and it has work out any time they did this. I plan on holding MAIN forever as long as they keep the same business plan and the dividend is safe.

glad to see this is finally moving north of 40 again

Sounds good. Usually when companies do a secondary offering it’s bad news. This kind of offering is good for the bottom line. Certainly has helped the pps.

Anyone know why Main is doing a 250 million public offering?

I’ve been buying on every dip and reinvesting the Div. This is my best holding in my portfolio. I love it.

jdjlaw

MAIN looks good for dividend portfolio just sit back and reinvest.

Any reaction to recent news and dip in price. Increase in Div is nice.

Jdjlaw

Any thoughts about the P R today?

$35? Premarket?

Where's the bottom? New X date coming up for the special div. why are we not seeing an up tick?

jdjlaw

Works for me. I look for any dips to grab more.

Jdjlaw

All downgrades lately are legit manipulation.. nobody wants to buy 52 week highs so they downgrade and say it's overvalued and we all get cheapies.

I saw the downgrade news just don't know why. I got an alert about a new SEC filing and I think it had to do with the issuing of 4.5 million shares of stock. I will try to go back and find out more.

Jdjlaw

Downgrade to sell I believe

What is the the cause of the dive today? Dilution?

I've been the stock for a while. Just wondered if I could pick up a little more knowledge. I'm very happy with they way it's preforming.

I am here but this is a quiet board, probably due to happy shareholders.

Yes waiting for $32's

Anyone still here?

MAIN 50 SMA about to cross above the 200 SMA--- look what happened the last time that happened!

Could we be in for another 30% increase??

Click Here for more Main Street Capital Corp. Common Stock Charts.

Main Street Capital Corporation (NYSE: MAIN) ("Main Street") announced today that it has completed a follow-on investment in an existing portfolio company totaling $7.0 million. Main Street's follow-on investment in Audio Messaging Solutions, LLC ("AMS") supported the acquisition of an industry competitor which significantly expands the company's customer base and service offering. The follow-on investment consists of $7.0 million in first lien secured debt with additional equity warrant participation. AMS now provides custom branded on hold messaging, auto attendant greetings, overhead music and digital signage services to its customers. In addition to the expansion of its customer base through this cash and equity transaction, AMS believes that the broader range of services offered by the acquired company provides enhanced cross-selling opportunities to existing AMS customers. This acquisition represents the Company's eleventh acquisition in the on hold messaging sector, making AMS one of the largest providers of those services in the United States. Current management of the acquired company will also become significant shareholders of AMS and serve in senior management positions in the combined company.

In addition to the follow-on portfolio investment discussed above, Main Street has invested $44.8 million since March 31, 2011 in six privately placed, interest-bearing debt securities with a weighted average effective yield of 11.6%. These privately placed investments represent first lien and second lien secured debt investments and include companies operating in the oilfield services, environmental services, professional services, information services and entertainment industries

Main Street Capital Announces Monthly Dividends for July, August and September 2011 of $0.13 Per Share

Main Street Capital Announces 4% Dividend Increase
Monthly Dividends for April, May and June 2011 Increase to $0.13 Per Share

HOUSTON, March 9, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Main Street Capital Corporation (NYSE: MAIN) ("Main Street") announced today that its Board of Directors declared monthly dividends of $0.13 per share for each of April, May and June 2011. These monthly dividends, which will be payable pursuant to the table below, equate to a total of $0.39 per share for the second quarter of 2011. The second quarter 2011 dividends represent a 4.0% sequential increase from the dividends declared by Main Street for the first quarter of 2011 and also represent a 4.0% increase from the dividends declared for the second quarter of 2010. The dividends per share for the second quarter of 2011 equate to an approximate annualized yield of 8.1% based on Main Street's current share price. Including the dividends declared for the second quarter of 2011, Main Street will have paid $5.52 per share in cumulative dividends since its October 2007 initial public offering.

When declaring dividends, the Main Street Board of Directors reviews estimates of taxable income available for distribution, which differs from consolidated book income due to (i) changes in unrealized appreciation and depreciation, (ii) temporary and permanent differences in income and expense recognition, (iii) activity at our taxable subsidiaries, and (iv) the amount of undistributed taxable income (or "spillover income") carried over from a given year for distribution in the following year. The final determination of 2011 taxable income, as well as the tax attributes for 2011 dividends, will be made after the close of the 2011 tax year. The final tax attributes for 2011 dividends will generally include both ordinary taxable income and capital gains but may also include qualified dividends and return of capital.

Main Street maintains a dividend reinvestment plan ("DRIP") that provides for the reinvestment of dividends on behalf of its stockholders, unless a stockholder has elected to receive dividends in cash. As a result, if Main Street declares a dividend, our stockholders who have not "opted out" of the DRIP by the dividend record date will have their dividend automatically reinvested into additional shares of our common stock. Main Street has the option to satisfy the share requirements of the DRIP through the issuance of new shares of common stock or through open market purchases of common stock by the DRIP plan administrator. Newly-issued shares will be valued based upon the final closing price of Main Street's common stock on a specified valuation date for each dividend as determined by Main Street's Board of Directors. Shares purchased in the open market to satisfy the DRIP requirements will be valued based upon the average price of the applicable shares purchased by the DRIP plan administrator, before any associated brokerage or other costs.

As previously announced, Main Street will release fourth quarter and full year 2010 financial results on Thursday, March 10, 2011, after the financial markets close. In conjunction with the fourth quarter and full year 2010 earnings release, Main Street has scheduled a conference call for Friday, March 11, 2011 at 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time. Please see Main Street's press release dated February 24, 2011, which can be found on its website, for details on how to participate in the conference call.
