12 Best Yielding Utilities With Double-Digit EPS Growth Potential

Utilities with best dividend yields and high earnings per share growth forecasts originally published at "long-term-investments.blogspot.com". Utilities are well-known for its stability and high dividend payments but they offer also high debt and low growth rates. Sure, utilities can give you some kind of safeness but the only thing that let’s your wealth grow is growth.

Growth is very expensive within the utility sector and I am not sure how it works in the United States but in many countries on the world, utilities are regulated by the government, so they cannot increase prices how they like.
Utilities are essential supplier for basic consumptions products like electricity, water, garbage and so on. Prices should be low in order to realize an optimized prosperity of the nation. If prices are too high, the government will be changed at the next election.

For investors is this fact a very hard environment to make money. You can do it but it is much easier in other sectors. If you invest money in foreign utilities, you bet mainly on an inflation growth and a currency gain.

20 Stocks To Buy | The Most Recommended Utilities At The Market

Utilities with a buy or better rating originally published at "long-term-investments.blogspot.com". Some investors love utilities, others hate them. I am somewhere in the middle. I never invested money into the utility sector because I know that strong growth is nearly impossible at low investment cots. So you should not get a quick big return.

The only chance to make a little money is with time optimized stock trading. But that's to complicated for me and means hard work. I love it to buy some high-quality growth stocks to receive the dividends without keeping an eye on anything and having fun with my live.

The good thing on utilities is that they generate stable cash flows and they can use the incoming money to pay high dividends and repurchase own shares. I believe that it makes more sense to buy bonds of those companies because if the company jumps into trouble the dividend payments and share buyback programs will be reduced as first. The bondholders suffer at the end.

However, I like to show you today which utilities are the most recommended at the market. I made a small list of the 20 best stocks which excludes stocks with a market capitalization below USD 2 billion because I personally think the risk should be much higher as for mid-capitalized stocks.

Below the 20 hottest utilities are sixteen with a dividend; two are high-yields.
