Dividend investors are likely familiar with most stocks on the Dividend Aristocrats list, which are companies that have increased their payouts for at least the last 25 consecutive years. However, there are plenty of other excellent dividend stocks that aren't yet on that elite list. Many remain unknown, so income investors miss out on their steadily rising payouts.
Three under-the-radar stocks with outstanding dividend growth track records are MLP Delek Logistics Partners (NYSE: DKL) , farmland REIT Gladstone Land (NASDAQ: LAND) , and utility Xcel Energy (NYSE: XEL) .
