The average investor probably thinks of mega-caps like Coca Cola (KO) and IBM (IBM) when he or she hears the word "dividend stalwart," but the truth is, there are more interesting names swept under Mr. Market's rug that go unnoticed. Small-caps are the focus of market-beating empirical studies like these while everybody knows the bigger names, but one group of stocks that is hardly discussed is the mid-caps.
Loosely defined by companies with market capitalization between $2 billion and $10 billion, there are a few mid-cap stocks that are absolute beasts when it comes to dividends. We'll take a look at three mid-cap companies in particular that have hiked their dividends in 50 or more consecutive years: Diebold (DBD), Lancaster Colony (LANC) and Nordson (NDSN).
