Best Bargains for High Yield Electric Utilities


With the stock market tanking, plenty of quality utility stocks have suffered. However, the lower stock prices means higher yields. About ten more electric utility stocks are yielding more than 5% this month over last month. In addition, these stocks can provide relative safety, security, and stability. Historically, utilities have paid favorable dividends for many years with low volatility. WallStreetNewsNetwork.com has come up with an updated list of numerous electric utility stocks that pay high dividends.
