Duke Energy (DUK-N) is viewed favorably by experts due to its long-standing history as a reliable holding in the utility sector. The company's geographic positioning within a growing area of the country is considered advantageous, especially as there is an increasing demand for energy, driven in part by the construction of data centers. This presents Duke Energy with the opportunity to benefit from enhanced energy consumption over time. Furthermore, utilities are inherently stable businesses, which means that investors can expect less volatility in their investments. Overall, Duke Energy's stable growth potential makes it an attractive option in the market for investors looking for reliable returns.
They have an attractive core business with operations in the Carolinas, Florida and the midwest. But they also have liabilities that led to credit downgrade last March. He wouldn't be excited by a slow, steady utilities company at this stage of the cycle, but Next Era has been trying to buy DUK for the past year. DUK pays you a 3.7% yield to wait. They reported a solid quarter this week. Shares were up 2%. They've benefited from the input of a non-hostile activist investor.
A good quality company, but the problem he has with yield is that we are entering period where we are going to have a rate raise in the US next week. If that is true, utilities are probably the sector that he would avoid most, especially in the US. He would look at a US pipeline instead, or even a telco.
