Growth driven by America's leading utilities companies
Did you know?
Regulated utilities operate as government-sanctioned monopolies in their service areas, with regulators setting the rates they can charge — a framework that produces stable, predictable earnings but limits growth potential. The US electric grid is currently undergoing its largest transformation in over a century, as the retirement of coal plants and the addition of wind, solar, and battery storage requires hundreds of billions of dollars in new infrastructure investment that utilities can earn a regulated return on. Utilities are often valued using dividend discount models rather than earnings multiples, as their high dividend yields and bond-like characteristics make them highly sensitive to changes in long-term interest rates.
