It has a higher beta than most utilities, it might work to your advantage in a downturn.Compounding Incomehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04207986983526689578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5232481098066200105.post-66604755869448334662012-02-28T20:55:02.427-05:002012-02-28T20:55:02.427-05:00Thanks for this informative survey of utilities.

Of the 5 listed above, AVA is the most attractive to me.Dividend Growth Machinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13304571550687216360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5232481098066200105.post-77394907240422401392012-02-26T10:22:08.336-05:002012-02-26T10:22:08.336-05:00Yeah it was time for me to take another look at th...Yeah it was time for me to take another look at the sector. I had utility stocks in my watch list and couldn't remember why I was following them. I might take a look at materials or consumer discretionary next week if I have time. I love doing research.<br /><br />Yes I also like UNS, but didn't include it in this list because I'm not looking to buy additional shares right now. Unisource is another utility based in a fast growing region of the country. According to Wikipedia, Arizona is the 7th fastest growing state. Washington is 6th (AVA). Georgia is 9th (SO). In the past I read UNS was targeting a 60% payout ratio. It's due for an increase very soon and the payout is already at 60%. I don't think we'll see a large increase this year. I'd be happy with a 5% raise.Compounding Incomehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04207986983526689578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5232481098066200105.post-52390248474179338202012-02-25T23:53:40.157-05:002012-02-25T23:53:40.157-05:00Timely post.

I'm specifically looking at AVA and UNS right now, two you own. I think both are solid, and of the ones you listed above AVA and SO are preferable for me...but SO appears a little expensive right now. AVA looks much more attractive from a value standpoint. UNS looks good too. <br /><br />I like DUK as well, but that one also looks expensive. <br /><br />I came extremely close to opening positions with UNS and AVA late last week, but got too busy at work to make time for the buys. We'll see if that was a blessing or a curse. <br /><br />Best wishes!Dividend Mantrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15876483095085297371noreply@blogger.com
