Jim Cramer - Mad Money Southern Company SO-N BUY Sep 05, 2025

Electric utilities used to be slow, steady stocks, but with data centre demand, these stocks are now growth ones. For years, they suffered a huge overhang from a nuclear power plant in Georgia with huge cost overruns. But this was completed 18 months ago and ever since the stock has been up, though only 2.5% in the past year. Pays a 3.2% dividend.
