Every figure here comes from the same audited fundamentals behind the score. Charts drawn from data the score does not use say so on the card.

| Forward EPS estimate | $3.88 |
Over the last 90 days, what analysts expect MAIN to earn is drifting lower (-1.9%). The estimate is derived from price and forward P/E captured at the same instant, so a moving share price does not move this number — only a changed forecast does.
A rising estimate means expectations are improving, not that the price has failed to keep up — and estimates get cut as readily as they get raised. It is not part of the Bull Rankings score. Biggest movers across the market →

Main Street Capital Corporation (MAIN): score, valuation & FAQ
Main Street Capital Corporation (MAIN) is a Asset Management company. As a bank, insurer or REIT it runs on a different financial model from the rest of the market, so Bull Rankings grades it on a sector-appropriate card — price-to-book, dividend yield, payout ratio and cash-flow coverage — rather than the 0–100 quality-growth score used elsewhere. The read below is a transparent screen, not a buy recommendation.
Its strongest graded signals are Yield (A-) and P/E (B+), while Rev (D+) rate weaker.
Is MAIN a good stock to buy?
Bull Rankings grades MAIN on a sector-appropriate card — price-to-book, dividend yield, payout and cash-flow coverage — rather than a single quality-growth score. That is driven by Yield (A-) and P/E (B+). A score is a quantitative screen of Main Street Capital Corporation's fundamentals, not personalised financial advice — weigh it against your own time horizon and risk tolerance, and read the risk factors below before acting.
How does Bull Rankings grade MAIN?
As a bank, insurer or REIT, MAIN isn't given a quality-growth score — signals like free cash flow, debt-to-equity and P/E don't translate cleanly to a balance-sheet business. Instead it's graded on a sector-appropriate card: price-to-book, dividend yield, payout ratio and operating-cash-flow coverage, where it rates strongest on Yield (A-) and P/E (B+) and weakest on Rev (D+).
Is MAIN overvalued or undervalued?
We don't compute a reliable discounted-cash-flow value for MAIN — typically because it is not yet consistently profitable or free-cash-flow positive — so its valuation rests on growth and price-to-sales rather than on earnings-based intrinsic value. Judge it on the trajectory of the business, not a single multiple.
What are the main risks of investing in MAIN?
Dividend payout 86% of earnings on a 5.4% yield — distribution coverage is thin; one earnings stumble could force a dividend cut. Regulatory capital risk — stricter capital requirements (CCAR, Basel) can force a dividend cut or a capital raise; the largest banks are most exposed because they're held to the tightest standards.
