Main Street Capital: 6% Yield, Steady Monthly Dividends

We've covered several BDCs in our recent articles - this is one of the pockets of the market which was beaten down for a good part of 2020, due to investors becoming very wary about how well BDC's portfolio companies would fare in the pandemic lockdown economy. However, as you'll see in this article, they've bounced back from the March 2020 COVID Crash. This stock yields 6.44%. Management maintained the $0.205 dividend for March, April, and May. We compare valuations, leverage, profitability, and performance vs. the BDC industry. There's also a high yield option trade at the end of this article, with a breakeven below analysts' lowest price target for the company.
