Utilities are a good defensive play and this one runs a very seasonal business. It generates the vast majority of its earnings in the 3rd quarter (summer) because of the increased demand for electricity. It is an electricity holding company and operates in a number of states in the US. The average gain from about July 29 through to the end of the year is about 12%, and works 76% of the time. It is currently outperforming the market.
