Bill Gross warns on gold momentum as regional bank stocks tumble
Investing.com - Truist Securities has reduced its price target for Main Street Capital (NYSE:MAIN) to $60.00 from $64.00 while maintaining a Hold rating on the stock. The company, currently trading at $58.38 with a P/E ratio of 9.64x, offers an attractive 6.78% dividend yield and has maintained dividend payments for 19 consecutive years, according to InvestingPro data.
The adjustment reflects lower peer multiples in the business development company (BDC) sector, according to the firm’s analysis.
Truist Securities analyst noted that the rise in Net Asset Value (NAV) and decrease in non-accruals are positive indicators for BDC coverage, as portfolio quality concerns have been significant for some investors.
The firm has slightly lowered its estimates for Main Street Capital due to a smaller investment portfolio than previously projected.
Despite the price target reduction, Truist Securities maintained its Hold rating on Main Street Capital stock, suggesting a neutral outlook on the company’s near-term performance.
