Mentioned: Dominion Energy Inc (D) , Comcast Corp (CMCSA)

In early August, Morningstar's equity analysts updated their list of high-conviction picks. Two of the stocks cut from the list were Comcast and Dominion Energy.

We have removed Comcast from our list of high-conviction ideas because its share price is now near our fair value estimate. We continue to view the stock as a solid core holding that will create wealth for shareholders over time, thanks to the firm's wide-moat core cable business and the moves it is making to build a strong media operation. At the current share price, though, we think there are better ideas for new investment.

How we approach editorial content

Maintaining independence and editorial freedom is essential to our mission of empowering investor success. We provide a platform for our authors to report on investments fairly, accurately, and from the investor’s point of view. We also respect individual opinions––they represent the unvarnished thinking of our people and exacting analysis of our research processes. Our authors can publish views that we may or may not agree with, but they show their work, distinguish facts from opinions, and make sure their analysis is clear and in no way misleading or deceptive.

To further protect the integrity of our editorial content, we keep a strict separation between our sales teams and authors to remove any pressure or influence on our analyses and research.
