9 High Beta Utilities | Good Yields At High Potential

Utility dividend stocks with highest beta ratios published at long-term-investments.blogspot.com. Utilities are necessary within the economy but they have huge problems to increase prices for utility products. Utility stocks normally have a lower volatility because of its stable revenue streams and income focused stakeholder structure. They are less risky than a high growth momentum stock with a highly priced business model that works only in the best dreams.

In today’s screen about the utilities with the highest beta ratio are only 9 stocks with a higher correlation to the broad market. This shows the real investment profile of utilities. Low growth, low risk and high debt as you might know it from real estate trusts.

Below the results are seven stocks with a buy or better rating. Only two big companies with a market capitalization over $10 billion are part of the results. Three are mid-capitalized.

The Best Performing Utilities And Which Of Them Are Still Cheap

Utility dividend stocks with highest performance year-to-date originally published at long-term-investments.blogspot.com. Utilities are often high dividend payers but they also have high debt amounts and their growth abilities are very limited.

Normally, you should not expect higher capital gains due to the slow growth and high investment costs.

It’s surprising that the best performing utilities gained 18 percent to 80 percent within the first six months of the year. I my view, it’s a shift to quality business models with higher yields and stable returns. Investors look for investment alternatives outside the bond sector and utilities are a place to be for the time being.

You can find a small list of the 20 best performing utility dividend stocks. I excluded all companies with a market capitalization below 300 million. They are definitely too risky and some of them have an extraordinary high return. Lower valuated companies dominating the top results. The average market capitalization amounts to 3.6 billion.

Despite the large price increase of the stocks, twelve of them still have a buy or better rating.

8 Utility Dividend Stocks With The Highest Float Short Ratio

Most sold short utility dividend stocks originally published at "long-term-investments.blogspot.com". Today I like to look at the most shorted dividend stocks from the utility sector. I observed only stocks with a market capitalization over USD 300 million and a float short ratio over 5 percent.

Only eight companies have a capital stake with more than 5 percent of short sellers. Utilities are very unpopular in terms of borrowing shares and selling them with hope to cause a stock crash.

I often told that one of the characteristics of a utility stock is the stability. But the price you pay is the low growth and high debt. The capital intensive business model doesn’t allow it to expand the balance sheet without capital increases.

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.
However, a high dividend is not the only solution of wealth. Growth is more important. I prefer low yielding stocks with no legislative rules and high growth. This will help me to grow faster than the inflation.

Today, I like to show you some of the best yielding utilities with the highest expected earnings per share growth for the next half-decade. From 123 listed utilities pay 107 a dividend but only for 12 companies, earnings per share is expected to grow yearly by more than 10 percent.

Gas utilities are the dominant players on my screening result - There are five stocks from the industry. It could be possible that analysts expecting lower gas prices for the mid-term due to the shale gas boom.

12 Utility Dividend Stocks With Highest Short Float Ratio

Utility Dividend Stocks With Highest Short Float Ratio Researched By Dividend Yield - Stock, Capital, Investment. Utilities are normally stable dividend payer with low growth and high debt. At the stock markets are 122 companies linked to the sector with a total market capitalization of USD 18.4 trillion. The average sector yield amounts to 4.11 percent (highest yields are paid by gas and diversified utilities) and the average P/E ratio is 15.44.

I screened the sector by dividend stocks with the highest amount of short selling stocks, measured by the short float ratio. The ratio shows how many stocks are shorted by investors. Companies with a high ratio of short float have a little upside potential if investors need to close their short position. Twelve dividend stocks from the utility sector have a short float ratio of more than 5 percent.
