Happy Sunday everyone. 🧐

While the market is still in bleed-out mode, here’s something different…

How do you still make money when stocks aren’t?

Dividend payers.

Consumer Staples:
$KO $MO $CVS $VZ

Energy Infrastructure:
$OKE $SUN $ENB $ET $CWEN

REITs:
$O $VICI $STAG $EPR $LTC $ADC

Diversification matters.

One name that stands above the rest to me is $MAIN

Main Street Capital isn’t a REIT—it’s an internally managed Business Development Company (BDC) with roughly a $5.2B market cap that lends to and invests in lower middle-market businesses.

Why I like it:

• Monthly dividends (currently $0.265/share)
• Monthly dividend increased 1.9% sequentially and 3.9% YoY
• Regular supplemental dividends when portfolio exits generate excess gains (recently $0.30/share)
• Forward dividend yield around 5.7-8% depending on supplemental payouts
• Dividend payout ratio around 78% of core earnings
• Net Investment Income (NII) has consistently covered the dividend by 100%+
• Never cut its regular dividend since its 2007 IPO
• Over $50/share in cumulative dividends paid since inception
• Lower beta of roughly 0.70, providing some downside protection
• Internally managed structure keeps fees low, reduces expense drag, and aligns management with shareholders

The business model is simple.

$MAIN provides customized one-stop financing through senior secured debt, subordinated debt, and equity investments in private companies with roughly $10M-$150M in revenue (while its private loan platform reaches companies up to $500M in revenue).

The debt generates recurring interest income.

The equity investments—often 5-50% ownership stakes—create upside that helps fund supplemental dividends.

That’s a powerful combination.

The company has investments across roughly 178 portfolio companies, manages approximately $9.2B of capital, maintains diversified exposure across multiple industries, and emphasizes conservative underwriting with historically low non-accruals.

Profitability has remained impressive with roughly 14% ROE, ~75% profit margins, and 16 consecutive quarters of NAV growth.

Preliminary Q2 2026 results showed NAV climbing again to approximately $33.88-$33.96, up 1.2-1.5% QoQ, even after paying its recent supplemental dividend.

The biggest risk?

Quality isn’t cheap.

With NAV around $33.9 and shares trading near $55, investors are paying roughly a 1.6x price-to-NAV premium for one of the best dividend track records in the BDC industry.

If credit markets weaken, defaults increase, or lending spreads tighten, that premium could compress.

Ironically, that premium also benefits shareholders because $MAIN can issue equity above NAV, making new capital raises accretive and helping fund future investments.

For REIT exposure, I also like:

$O (Realty Income)
• Monthly dividend
• 98-99% occupancy
• Triple-net lease model
• 100+ dividend increases
• S&P 500 Dividend Aristocrat
• Investment-grade balance sheet
• Approximately 4.9-5.2% dividend yield

$VICI
• Owns premier casino, hospitality and entertainment real estate
• Long-term triple-net leases
• Approximately 6.6-6.7% dividend yield
• Strong AFFO coverage
• Consistent dividend growth through acquisitions and contractual rent escalators

$ADC
• Monthly dividend with approximately 3.9-4.0% yield
• Owns 2,600+ single-tenant retail properties across all 50 states
• Long-term triple-net leases with many investment-grade tenants, creating highly predictable cash flows
• Grows through acquisitions, contractual rent escalators, and consistent AFFO growth
• More defensive than many REITs with lower volatility and a focus on essential retail

REITs are required to distribute at least 90% of taxable income, while BDCs follow a similar pass-through structure, making both attractive income vehicles.

In bear markets, cash flow becomes a bigger part of total return.

Not every dollar has to chase growth.

Sometimes getting paid to wait is the best strategy.

So $ASTS volatility lasted one day…

I guess people reacted first, then read the fine print after and realized it wasn’t as bearish as they thought.

Nice seeing a few space names end green as well ( $RKLB / $PL / $FLY / $SATL and more).

Another sign of being near the bottom.
