Sempra Energy's investment opportunities at its regulated utilities in California and Texas will remain its primary growth driver.
Opportunities for rate base growth at Sempra's utilities are above average, and California and Texas regulation generally allows timely recovery of capital expenditures and a dynamic cost of capital.
Sempra's nonregulated businesses bring increased risk. Income investors looking for low-risk dividends may find less appeal than from pure-play regulated utilities.
