Utilities
Electric, gas, water — regulated monopolies with predictable but capped returns. Heavy debt loads, slow growth, and dividend-driven holders dominate.
What drives this sector
- Regulated returns = bond-like
- Capex cycle drives long-term EPS
- Renewable transition = once-in-generation capex
- Rate cases are political
