Hard to find 4% plus yields with a 10 year record of stock price appreciation. Many of these higher yielding companies have had rollercoaster prices over the 5 and 10 year periods. Lots of variables today that will impact the next 10 years however that didn’t impact the last 10 years. Technology advances and ESG are 2 that come to mind.

I follow utilities way too closely to include earnings calls.  (yeah I should get a life lol).  I prefer some UTEs that grow a little faster, but I have noticed DUK has just started borrowing some their business model.  DUK doesn't need to grow quite as fast.  They just need to grow and that 4% div entry looks sweet.  Is it better than my faster growers with 3%?  Maybe not, but if you want 4% guaranteed today DUK is it.
