Utility Stocks
Utilities stocks include companies that provide basic services like electricity, natural gas, sewage and water to homes and businesses. The utilities sector is defensive, or relatively immune to economic cycles, because consumers always require these services. Government regulation, combined with limited regional competition, makes utilities companies’ stock performance relatively steady and predictable. Utilities stocks typically pay out dividends, so many investors use them in their portfolios to generate income.
