I own 180 shares of MAIN at an average cost basis of $32.25/share. After this increase, my yield on cost is 10.05%, while the stock's forward yield is 5.75% at $56.30/share.

Since I opened my position in March 2010, the stock has delivered a 156% total return, including $4,737.73 in dividends. That's a splendid annualized rate of return of 13.4%!

MAIN became DivGro's 6th Home Run stock in September 2016, doubling my original capital outlay.

For my 180-share position, this payout will add an extra $54 to my December dividend income.

Dividend Safety Profile

MAIN scores 6.20 on my 9-factor quality model, putting it into the Above Average band. At the same time, Seeking Alpha assigns MAIN a dividend grade of C, notably lower on the safety spectrum than Simply Safe Dividends' safety score of 62/100. MAIN's weakest link is my model's 3.9 rating for F7 Credit Rating & Capital Structure.
