MAIN
Dividend season, but make it slightly better
Main Street Capital is raising its regular monthly dividend to $0.265 per share for each of July, August, and September 2026. That works out to $0.795 for the quarter, which is 1.9% higher than the prior quarter and 3.9% above the same stretch last year.
Why investors care
For income investors, this is the whole point of owning a company like MAIN: cash keeps showing up like a subscription you actually want to keep. A higher monthly payout suggests the business has enough confidence in its cash flow to sweeten the deal, even if the increase is modest rather than blockbuster.
Bonus cash in June
On top of the regular dividend, Main Street also declared a supplemental dividend of $0.30 per share payable in June 2026. Translation: shareholders get a little extra dessert before the main course of the summer payouts.
Big picture
This is not the kind of headline that sends traders sprinting for the exits or the buy button, but it does reinforce MAIN’s income-investment reputation. In a market where a lot of companies treat dividends like a sacred relic, a monthly raise is a nice reminder that some balance sheets still know how to share the love.
