This article is part of a new series where we will highlight five companies that are mid cap, relatively safe, dividend-paying, and also offering discounts to their historical norms. Our regular series “5 Safe and Cheap Dividend Stocks” only considers companies with a market cap of $10 billion or more. This series will focus solely on stocks with market-cap between $1 billion and $10 billion. We will go over the filtering and selection process to select just five such stocks from more than 2000 companies that are traded on U.S. exchanges, including OTC networks.
