Why it may matterVerify against the original reporting
Q2 results show durable NII/DNII, an expanding NAV, and a multi-notch improvement in liquidity/capital structure; the dividend cadence is clearly favorable (regular + supplemental), reducing dispersion around payout expectations. History shows MAIN tends to drift higher on improved per-share cash-flow metrics and visible dividend growth, especially when NAV posts gains and leverage remains conservative.
