Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about Main Street Capital Corporation stock:

• 1. According to Zacks Investment Research, "Main Street Capital Corporation is a specialty investment company providing customized financing solutions to lower middle market companies which operate in diverse industry sectors. Main Street seeks to partner with entrepreneurs, business owners and management teams and generally provides one stop financing alternatives to its portfolio companies. " (10/10/2017)
• 2. National Securities analysts commented, "• In 2Q17 NII/share was $0.58/share compared to our estimate of $0.56 and consensus estimates of $0.54. Fee income was up 26% linked Q/Q to $3.1 million with approximately $0.02/share of fee income during the quarter considered nonrecurring in nature.
  • Despite being a very strong originator with good asset quality and shareholder friendly actions and structure we note that current valuation represents a 76% premium to NAV/share and 67% to our 4Q18 NAV/share estimate. Our $33 price target represents a tailing P/NAV (trailing) of 1.46x and 1.38x P/NAV (4Q18E). We think the market is discounting that dislocations in the markets, especially given the age of the credit cycle, could materially lower company valuation multiples which, if to the magnitude of getting rid of realized gains dividends, would materially lower the total yield and weigh on the valuation significantly, in our view. We regard Main Street as a top performer in the sector from an operational perspective, but we believe that shares are currently valued far too high.
  • We are revising our 2017 NII/share estimate to $2.31 from $2.27 from $2.35 and our 2018 NII/share estimate to $2.42 from $2.37." (8/8/2017)
• 3. Royal Bank Of Canada analysts commented, "A report from a competitor raised many issues relating to WSR, including: (1) issuing stock below NAV; (2) making risky acquisitions; (3) engaging in weak corporate governance; (4) not covering the dividend; and (5) being overvalued." (5/18/2017)
• 4. FBR & Co analysts commented, "MAIN’s 1Q17 EPS of $0.57 were above our $0.55 estimate, the consensus $0.56 estimate, and our estimate of the company’s EPS guidance range $0.54–$0.55. Asset quality remained strong in 1Q17, with a realized appreciation of $22M from the exit of a single lower middle-market (LMM) investment driving NAV/share higher. Looking ahead, lower 2Q17 QOQ earnings guidance indicates to us that some 2Q deal flow may have been captured in 1Q. We think that this is a single-quarter occurrence and that the current dividend is secure. More interestingly, we think MAIN could be an outsized beneficiary of the proposed reduction of the corporate tax rate to 15% because the equity that MAIN holds in its LMM investments would appreciate with a lower tax rate. MAIN typically holds 32% of the total equity in a given LMM portfolio company. The LMM investments accounted for 45% of MAIN’s total investment portfolio at fair value at 1Q17." (5/8/2017)
