Despite the high price-to-book value, and despite the relatively low dividend yield (for a Business Development Company), Main Street Capital Corporation's business is no bubble. To the contrary, it's a fundamentally different type of BDC with steady book value gains (while peers stay flat—or worse). It also has steady dividend growth trajectory, powerful supplemental dividends, and many other attractive qualities that set it apart.
