Vistra, up 143%, has even outperformed the king of AI itself, Nvidia; <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/STZ\">Constellation</a>, up 85%, is barely behind it.</p><p>For utility investors, this is like night and day.</p><p>Last year was a total blackout. The Dow Jones Utility Index lost 7.2%, while the S&P 500 gained 26.3%; both figures include dividends. That was the worst annual underperformance by utilities since 1999.</p><p>Higher interest rates were part of the problem. Rising yields not only increased borrowing costs for utilities, but made their shares less attractive relative to bonds.</p><p>And 2023 wasn't the only recent off year. The spectacular implosion of PG&E in 2017 and 2018 had investors worrying that power companies face growing risks in a warming world.</p><p>Utilities inched up only an average of 6.6% annually over the five years ended last Dec. 31; the S&P 500 gained 15.7% annually.</p><p>The business of providing electricity hasn't grown in the past couple of decades as conservation and more-efficient technology have reduced consumption. The U.S. generated slightly less electricity in 2021 than it had in 2007, according to the federal Energy <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/III\">Information</a> Administration -- even though the economy grew more than 3% annually over that period.</p><p>Now, however, the need for energy is finally expanding. On their April 23 earnings-announcement call, executives at <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/NEE\">NextEra</a> estimated that electricity demand from data centers alone would grow 15% a year through the end of the decade.</p><p>AI isn't the only reason utilities have heated up so fast. The rapid increase in demand for electricity nationwide comes from three main sources, says Maria Pope, CEO of <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/POR\">Portland General</a> Electric, Oregon's biggest utility.</p><p>One is the revival of domestic manufacturing after decades of moving offshore. Another is the boom in semiconductor production, boosted by government support. But the expansion of data centers, "driven by the insatiable appetite of AI," is the fastest-growing source of industrial demand, says Pope.</p><p>Jay Rhame, chief executive of Reaves Asset Management, which manages about $3 billion in utility stocks, thinks the only historical parallel is the boom in electricity generation that followed the widespread adoption of air conditioning in the 1960s and 1970s.</p><p>Utilities are suddenly so hot that they're affecting the performance of funds in broader segments of the market. Look at two exchange-traded funds that specialize in income-producing stocks: <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/EEMA\">iShares</a> Select Dividend and iShares Core High Dividend. Over the past three months, Core High Dividend is up 7.2%, slightly more than the S&P 500; Select Dividend, meanwhile, has gained 9.6%, outperforming the broad market by 3.2 percentage points.</p><p>Nearly half the recent difference in return between the two funds is attributable to utility stocks alone, says Daniel Prince, head of iShares product consulting at <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/BLK\">BlackRock</a>. Select Dividend, with 28% of its assets in utilities, has gotten a big boost from them. Its top utility holding, Dominion Energy, has gained 17.8% over the past three months. Core High Dividend, with only 9% in utilities, hasn't kept pace.</p><p>To be fair, utility stocks have still barely caught up to where they were at the end of 2021. They were beaten up so badly last year that they're still considerably cheaper, on average, than the stock market overall.</p><p>The Dow Jones U.S. Utilities Index trades at 17 times expected earnings over the next year; the S&P 500 is at 20 times projected earnings.</p><p>So this isn't a bubble -- not yet, anyway. But income-oriented investors accustomed to thinking of power companies as the sleepiest and safest of industries should realize the game has changed.</p><p>Hot money always follows hot performance. Remarkably, investors have yanked about $4 billion out of utility ETFs over the past year. That outflow will surely turn into a flood of new money if the stocks stay hot.</p><p>And stocks that can go up 15% or more in a month, as many power companies have done since mid-April, can also go down 15% or more in a month -- something that utilities never used to do unless they were on the verge of going bust.</p><p>Just as bonds have delivered startling volatility in the past few years, income-oriented utility investors should make sure they're ready for some shocks along the way.</p></body></html>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Why Utilities Are Lighting Up the Stock Market</title>\n<style type=\"text/css\">\na,abbr,acronym,address,applet,article,aside,audio,b,big,blockquote,body,canvas,caption,center,cite,code,dd,del,details,dfn,div,dl,dt,\nem,embed,fieldset,figcaption,figure,footer,form,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,header,hgroup,html,i,iframe,img,ins,kbd,label,legend,li,mark,menu,nav,\nobject,ol,output,p,pre,q,ruby,s,samp,section,small,span,strike,strong,sub,summary,sup,table,tbody,td,tfoot,th,thead,time,tr,tt,u,ul,var,video{ font:inherit;margin:0;padding:0;vertical-align:baseline;border:0 }\nbody{ font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#999; background:transparent; }\n.wrapper{ overflow:hidden;word-break:break-all;padding:10px; }\nh1,h2{ font-weight:normal; line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:.6em; }\nh3,h4,h5,h6{ line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:1em; }\nh1{ font-size:24px; }\nh2{ font-size:20px; }\nh3{ font-size:18px; }\nh4{ font-size:16px; }\nh5{ font-size:14px; }\nh6{ font-size:12px; }\np,ul,ol,blockquote,dl,table{ margin:1.2em 0; }\nul,ol{ margin-left:2em; }\nul{ list-style:disc; }\nol{ list-style:decimal; }\nli,li p{ margin:10px 0;}\nimg{ max-width:100%;display:block;margin:0 auto 1em; }\nblockquote{ color:#B5B2B1; border-left:3px solid #aaa; padding:1em; }\nstrong,b{font-weight:bold;}\nem,i{font-style:italic;}\ntable{ width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:1px;margin:1em 0;font-size:.9em; }\nth,td{ padding:5px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #aaa; }\nth{ font-weight:bold;background:#5d5d5d; }\n.symbol-link{font-weight:bold;}\n/* header{ border-bottom:1px solid #494756; } */\n.title{ margin:0 0 8px;line-height:1.3;color:#ddd; }\n.meta {color:#5e5c6d;font-size:13px;margin:0 0 .5em; }\na{text-decoration:none; color:#2a4b87;}\n.meta .head { display: inline-block; overflow: hidden}\n.head .h-thumb { width: 30px; height: 30px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border-radius: 50%; float: left;}\n.head .h-content { margin: 0; padding: 0 0 0 9px; float: left;}\n.head .h-name {font-size: 13px; color: #eee; margin: 0;}\n.head .h-time {font-size: 11px; color: #7E829C; margin: 0;line-height: 11px;}\n.small {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.9); -webkit-transform: scale(0.9); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.smaller {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.8); -webkit-transform: scale(0.8); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.bt-text {font-size: 12px;margin: 1.5em 0 0 0}\n.bt-text p {margin: 0}\n</style>\n</head>\n<body>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<header>\n<h2 class=\"title\">\nWhy Utilities Are Lighting Up the Stock Market\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n<div class=\"head\" \">\n\n\n<div class=\"h-thumb\" style=\"background-image:url(https://static.tigerbbs.com/150f88aa4d182df19190059f4a365e99);background-size:cover;\"></div>\n\n<div class=\"h-content\">\n<p class=\"h-name\">Dow Jones </p>\n<p class=\"h-time\">2024-05-18 08:52</p>\n</div>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<html><head></head><body><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/cbd2643142dc33e33e9e2d897efc1ad1\" alt=\"ILLUSTRATION: ALEX NABAUM\" title=\"ILLUSTRATION: ALEX NABAUM\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\"/><span>ILLUSTRATION: ALEX NABAUM</span></p><p>The stock market's tortoises just got hare-y.</p><p>Electric-utility stocks have long been considered the ultimate in stodgy, slow-but-steady investments -- appealing strongly to people who value income and long-term safety above growth and quick gains.</p><p>In the past few months, though, utilities have left the rest of the market in the dust.

Vistra, up 143%, has even outperformed the king of AI itself, Nvidia; <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/STZ\">Constellation</a>, up 85%, is barely behind it.</p><p>For utility investors, this is like night and day.</p><p>Last year was a total blackout. The Dow Jones Utility Index lost 7.2%, while the S&P 500 gained 26.3%; both figures include dividends. That was the worst annual underperformance by utilities since 1999.</p><p>Higher interest rates were part of the problem. Rising yields not only increased borrowing costs for utilities, but made their shares less attractive relative to bonds.</p><p>And 2023 wasn't the only recent off year. The spectacular implosion of PG&E in 2017 and 2018 had investors worrying that power companies face growing risks in a warming world.</p><p>Utilities inched up only an average of 6.6% annually over the five years ended last Dec. 31; the S&P 500 gained 15.7% annually.</p><p>The business of providing electricity hasn't grown in the past couple of decades as conservation and more-efficient technology have reduced consumption. The U.S. generated slightly less electricity in 2021 than it had in 2007, according to the federal Energy <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/III\">Information</a> Administration -- even though the economy grew more than 3% annually over that period.</p><p>Now, however, the need for energy is finally expanding. On their April 23 earnings-announcement call, executives at <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/NEE\">NextEra</a> estimated that electricity demand from data centers alone would grow 15% a year through the end of the decade.</p><p>AI isn't the only reason utilities have heated up so fast. The rapid increase in demand for electricity nationwide comes from three main sources, says Maria Pope, CEO of <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/POR\">Portland General</a> Electric, Oregon's biggest utility.</p><p>One is the revival of domestic manufacturing after decades of moving offshore. Another is the boom in semiconductor production, boosted by government support. But the expansion of data centers, "driven by the insatiable appetite of AI," is the fastest-growing source of industrial demand, says Pope.</p><p>Jay Rhame, chief executive of Reaves Asset Management, which manages about $3 billion in utility stocks, thinks the only historical parallel is the boom in electricity generation that followed the widespread adoption of air conditioning in the 1960s and 1970s.</p><p>Utilities are suddenly so hot that they're affecting the performance of funds in broader segments of the market. Look at two exchange-traded funds that specialize in income-producing stocks: <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/EEMA\">iShares</a> Select Dividend and iShares Core High Dividend. Over the past three months, Core High Dividend is up 7.2%, slightly more than the S&P 500; Select Dividend, meanwhile, has gained 9.6%, outperforming the broad market by 3.2 percentage points.</p><p>Nearly half the recent difference in return between the two funds is attributable to utility stocks alone, says Daniel Prince, head of iShares product consulting at <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/BLK\">BlackRock</a>. Select Dividend, with 28% of its assets in utilities, has gotten a big boost from them. Its top utility holding, Dominion Energy, has gained 17.8% over the past three months. Core High Dividend, with only 9% in utilities, hasn't kept pace.</p><p>To be fair, utility stocks have still barely caught up to where they were at the end of 2021. They were beaten up so badly last year that they're still considerably cheaper, on average, than the stock market overall.</p><p>The Dow Jones U.S. Utilities Index trades at 17 times expected earnings over the next year; the S&P 500 is at 20 times projected earnings.</p><p>So this isn't a bubble -- not yet, anyway. But income-oriented investors accustomed to thinking of power companies as the sleepiest and safest of industries should realize the game has changed.</p><p>Hot money always follows hot performance.
