Utilities Stocks

The utilities sector covers companies that provide electricity, natural gas, and water, typically as regulated providers with steady, predictable demand. Because of that stability and their often-reliable dividends, utilities are considered defensive and tend to hold up relatively well in downturns. They are also sensitive to interest rates: higher rates make their dividend yields less attractive and raise their borrowing costs for capital projects. Catalysts include rate-case decisions from regulators, interest-rate moves, weather, and the long-term shift toward cleaner generation. Utilities usually grow slowly and steadily rather than quickly.
