Electric utility (west) industry

Article Abstract:

A plan to restructure the private electric utility industry which would repeal two federal laws and allow the states greater regulatory leeway in stranded costs and retail competition has been proposed by the administration of President Bill Clinton. The focus of the market on large-capitalized stocks and rising interest rates have combined, also, to lower the value of electric utility stocks since 1998. These stocks have become more attractive to investors, in spite of underperforming the market, as price-earnings ratios are below the market averages.

Electric utility (central) industry

Article Abstract:

Electric utilities are changing from a monopolistic to a competitive environment. This is leading to more incentive ratemaking, greater cost reduction efforts, increased foreign investment, and further industry consolidation. These stocks are trading near the upper level, and investors need to be selective when choosing electric utility issues. Dividend growth, debt ratio, and other factors must be considered.
