Lincoln Electric Hikes Dividend

Lincoln Electric Holdings Inc. (LECO) maintained its trend of raising its dividend annually, by announcing a 17.6% (3 cents) hike in its quarterly dividend to 20 cents from the prior dividend of 17 cents.

The increased dividend will be paid on December 28, 2012, to stockholders of record on December 17, 2012. The company has preponed the dividend payment from January 2013 to December 2012, given the uncertainty of tax increases on dividends in 2013.
