Wall Street Fundamentals Releases New In-Depth Stock Reports on DUK, FE, NEE and SO

ACCESSWIRE

Utility stocks have regained popularity amongst investors in 2014 due to rising uncertainties in the broader markets and declining treasury yields. The S&P 500 Utilities Index has gained 4.87 percent year-to-date (the best out of the 10 sectors), while the S&P 500 Index has fallen 1.0 percent. "People are going to be looking at utilities more seriously this year in part because the stock market in general might be a little bit rockier," said John Carey, portfolio manager at Pioneer Investment Management. According to FactSet, the average dividend yield for utilities is 3.9 percent, compared to the S&P 500’s average dividend yield of 2.0 percent.
