20 Of The Safest Utilities With Best Dividend Yields

Some of the safest utilities originally published at "long-term-investments.blogspot.com". Many people say that utilities have a higher degree of safeness because of the stability and the relationships to their clients. 

That’s primarily true but utilities have also two big burdens. They don’t grow fast and if they grow they need greather amounts of money. The second problem is that most of the utilities are very capital intensive and they fulfill their capital needs with loans. That’s normally not a problem because a utility has stable cash flows and can get access to the capital market very easy.

Today I like to look at the safest dividend stocks from the utility sector. 123 equities are available on the market. I screen all of them by a market capitalization over USD 10 billion and beta ratio below one.

Linked is a list of the 20 best yielding companies. Three of them are High-Yields and eight have a buy or better recommendation.
