You might be interested:

HOLD
The largest electrical producer and distributor in Italy. Recently sold its telecommunications business. Has a big yield. One problem has been the strong US & Cdn $'s against the Euro. Still feels the outlook for this company to generate cash is there.
HOLD
Utility stocks are doing very well right now where there are projects. This hasn't caught on with this company which he feels is still a little bit pricey.
BUY
Have had some big dividend payouts which has brought the stock down. The stock is priced in euros so the Cdn.$ has hurt. This is a bargain price. Still likes.
BUY
Pays a good portion of its income as dividends. Have been selling off noncore assets. Has suffered because 1) the Euro has been weak and 2) that has been some lack of clearness as to what utility rates in the future are in Italy, but that's being corrected. Have sold forward almost 70% other production for next year and extremely favorable rates.
BUY
The largest power producer in Italy. Very profitable and pays out a large part of its earnings in dividends. 6% dividends plus some special ones. The stock is under appreciated.
TOP PICK
Largest electricity company in Italy. Expanding outside of Italy into eastern Europe. Cash rich. Good earnings growth. Good dividend.
PARTIAL SELL
European Utilities have been strong performers for the last 3 or 4 years. Interest rates are starting to move up, which raise the question of if they can continue as they have been. From a fundamental point of view, it's likely that these utilities will do well. These are defensive stocks, so it might be smart to move some money out, take some profits.
HOLD
Largest power company in Italy and also has investments in power operations in Eastern Europe, and most recently into Spain. No longer traded on the NYSE. Trading near its all-time high. Yield is quite good.
TOP PICK
Europe's biggest utility. His top pick for global transition to clean power. At the forefront of the transition. Based in Italy, operates across multiple geographies. New green deal should provide a lot of funding, of which Enel should be the prime beneficiary. Nice entry point here. Yield is 4.21%. (Analysts’ price target is $9.13)
