When we talk about rising interest rates affecting utility stocks, it's a trade in market terminology. What happens in real cases is that as interest rates go up, these companies have a lot of debt and have to roll over their debt at higher rates. That squeezes the margins. However, over time, they can apply to their regulatory bodies for a rate of return increase on what they charge people. As rates rise, if you get another 5%-10% correction, you start dipping your toe in and trying to average up.
