Dividend Yield: 10.1%
Market Cap: $181 million
Main Street Capital (MAIN) is a business development company specializing in equity and debt investments in small and middle-market companies.
With economic conditions improving and small companies looking to enter growth mode instead of just staying on the defensive, Main Street could see some brisk business in 2010. The company pays a monthly dividend instead of a quarterly payout, meaning a steady flow of cash for income investors.
Though the smaller payments may not drop your jaw, over the course of a full year the dividend yield of this stock is above 10% so these monthly payouts from Main Street can add up in a hurry.
At the time of this writing, the author did not own shares of MAIN.
