Utilities Sector Heatmap

What the Utilities sector covers

The Utilities sector covers the companies that provide the essential services households and businesses rely on every day — electricity, natural gas, and water. It includes regulated electric and gas utilities, water utilities, and a growing group of independent power producers and renewable-energy operators. Utilities are traditionally among the most stable and income-oriented parts of the market, with regulated revenue and steady demand that make them defensive holdings. The sector is highly sensitive to interest rates, since its dividend yields compete with bonds, and increasingly to the buildout of power generation needed to meet rising electricity demand.
