One of my favs. I don't buy at these levels but do add under that $75 price.
I want to add more utilities but I'm waiting too what the earnings looks like from some of these.
I like DUK, AEP, SO, NEE EXC and XEL
Your EXC is getting tempting again
I'm watching AWK and AWR for an entry point
Hoping all the UTES take a big hit like they did in late March
NEE is a Momo stock so bad market days are best. I made a lot of money on SO much cheaper so it's off the list for now. I am in love with XEL but I own some $7.50 shares so I am biased lol. Just nibble on the lower end of the price range. It gets truly cheap about as often as MSFT. They are tearing up the green plan and still making a decent profit. I nibble AEP whenever it is down. It's is a great UTE but they are going to suffer some in a recession since service the industrial belt. EXC is nuke so only buy it in the lower half of range. It will never get the love it deserves lol. I only buy water UTEs because Eric says I have to. That's been REAL decent advice. I do trim and add just a bit at the top and bottom of range because the dividend is lame. I'll get my dividend one way or the other lol.
