Analysis · MAIN · Unknown
Main Street's preliminary Q3 2026 numbers show NII of $0.87-$0.91 per share and DNII before taxes of $0.96-$1.00, in line with prior guidance, while NAV per share rose to an estimated $34.18-$34.26 from $33.92 — the seventeenth consecutive quarterly increase. The company also generated an annualized return on equity above 14% and kept non-accruals low at 0.9% of the portfolio at fair value. Separately, the SBA approved a $75.0 million increase in the SBIC debenture capacity of Main Street Mezzanine Fund to $250.0 million, lifting total affiliated SBIC borrowing capacity to $425.0 million of the $475.0 million regulatory maximum — cheap, long-term funding that supports the private loan strategy. The main caveat is that these are preliminary estimates subject to quarter-end closing and third-party valuation review, so the final 10-Q figures due November 5 could differ.
