Utility Industry Research & Analysis: The utility industry includes companies whose sales come from the administration of public services such as water and power. Utility Trading Strategy: The utility industry tends to be less sensitive to economic cycles, because public services are essential to industrial and residential consumers. Look to buy undervalued utility investments when stock prices are low and sell overvalued utility investments during any part of the business cycle when stock prices are high. Upward sloping stock charts and financial news may indicate a selling opportunity while the opposite means that stocks are becoming undervalued.

Utility Industry Analysis, Research & Ratios ► (edit / improve)

Description: The utility industry includes companies whose sales come from the administration of public services such as water and power (see full utility description: competitors, industry ratios, best stocks, market leaders, aggregate SWOT Analysis, and streaming industry news).

Profit Analysis: The best way to profit from utilities stock investments is to find the most undervalued investments (Wall Street and Main Street buy ratings) before economic recessions. Those investments should be undervalued (see Wall Street on left side), and have high Main Street Common Sense investment ratings (see Main Street on right side). When an economic recovery occurs, utility stocks tend to underperform the general stock market, because consumers quickly resume spending on items they wanted, but resisted buying during tougher economic times. Utilities are generally items that consumers bought during a recession, but don't increase purchases during economic expansions. Eventually other stock investments become overvalued, because profits and stock prices increase past their fair values. During the last stages of an economic business cycle, just before a recession, it is best to buy utilities stocks, because they are the least risky equity investments in a declining stock market. As investors search for safe (less risky) stock investments, they tend to buy utilities. Expensive (overvalued) stocks with low Main Street Common Sense ratings should be sold at any time to invest in better stocks. Two buys ratings are the best and two sell ratings are the worst possible stock investments.

Trading Strategy: Utilities tend to be less sensitive to economic changes. During economic recessions, consumers tend to decrease discretionary expenses to save money, but they can not decrease utility purchases, because they are needed for everyday living. Spending on utilities generally remains constant, so during economic recessions, investors tend to buy utility stocks, which causes stock prices to increase. During economic recoveries, utilities stock prices generally underperform the general stock market. Investor who bought utilities stocks during the recession, tend to make new investments in faster growing industries. During longer economic expansions, utilities tend to grow at the same rate as the general stock market.
