Main Street Capital (NYSE:MAIN) projected second-quarter distributable net investment income between $1.02 and $1.06 per share.

The preliminary estimates follow a period of net fair value appreciation across the lower middle market and private loan portfolios.

The firm stated it expects its net asset value to reach $33.88 to $33.96 per share, representing an increase of up to 1.5 percent from March.

The company reported an estimated annualized return on equity of over 18 percent, alongside non-accrual investments at 1.1 percent of fair value.

The business anticipates distributing a supplemental dividend of $0.30 per share.

The company stated the investment portfolio growth was partially offset by restricted stock issuance and dividends exceeding net investment income.

The financial institution plans to release its full second-quarter earnings report on August 6 before hosting a conference call on August 7.
