DALLAS, July 16, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Capital Southwest Corporation (“Capital Southwest”) (Nasdaq: CSWC), an internally managed business development company focused on providing flexible financing solutions to support the acquisition and growth of middle market businesses, is pleased to announce its preliminary operating results for the first quarter of its 2027 fiscal year (quarter ended June 30, 2026) and its first quarter 2027 earnings release and conference call schedule.
Main Street Capital (MAIN) and Capital Southwest (CSWC) are among the most elite BDCs. I compare them side-by-side to share which one I think is a better buy today. I also look at the main risks for each business.
CSWC remains a high-quality BDC with strong first-lien debt focus and well-diversified portfolio across 131 companies. I maintain a hold rating on CSWC due to its 39% premium to book value and recent yield compression from 11.3% to 10.8%. Dividend coverage is tightening, with Q4 NII of $0.57 per share falling short of the $0.64 total dividend, contributing to a NAV decline.
According to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), passive income generally includes earnings from rental activity or any trade, business, or investment in which the individual does not materially participate.
It is a good time to reduce risk. High-yielding securities could be the first in line for elimination. However, some high-yielding picks are just built differently.

Higher interest rates are generally favorable for BDCs. However, some BDCs can suffer from higher rates that could potentially result in painful dividend cuts. In this article, I explain how we as BDC investors could digest the current rate regime and its implications on dividends.
