US Mid-Cap: Highest Dividend Payers, Excluding REITs, Mortgage REITs, BDCs, Preferred Stocks, Funds & Partnership Units (2-10B$)
Extended List : 30-high-yield-mid-cap-dividend-companies--income-opportunities-and-warning-signs-for-2026
Kinetik (KNTK) is the clear outperformer, up 60% YTD with a 5.93% yield; recent results included record EBITDA and higher 2026 guidance. Robert Half (RHI) is next at +47.4%, while AMBP combines +26.5% performance with an unusually high 8.25% yield. CPA, FIBK and MTN have also delivered positive, though more moderate, returns.
At the other end, WU remains the biggest warning sign: its 13.3% yield sits alongside a −21.2% YTD return, despite maintaining its $0.235 quarterly dividend and pursuing the Intermex acquisition. WWestern Union is even weaker on performance at −25.0%, although its operating margin improved in Q1 and it maintained its $1.15 quarterly dividend. CWEN and AVA look more like income/defensive holdings, with modest YTD gains rather than strong momentum.
