After a huge rally, investors need to be a bit more selective in the utility sector. Here are three utilities that you might want to consider. Normally, utility stocks aren't very exciting. But, after a magnificent 35% rally over the past year, well, the utility sector is no doubt exciting right now.

The Federal Reserve just dropped rates, which should help companies that use a lot of debt. Here are three to look at right now. The S&P 500 index currently offers a scant 1.3% dividend yield. The average utility is yielding about 2.9%, using the Utilities Select Sector SPDR Fund (XLU 2.64%) as an industry proxy. That's more than twice what you'd get from the average S&P 500 stock, and highlights why utilities are a good place to shop when looking for dividend stocks. Plenty of dividend stocks out there rel ...

Several factors have helped power utility stocks, including the prospect of lower interest rates and the acceleration of power demand from catalysts like AI data centers. Despite that power surge, several utility stocks still look like attra ...
