"High-Yield Utility Stocks: A Warning Signal for the Economy?"
TL;DR
Despite utilities falling out of favor with investors, now could be a great time to buy utility stocks such as The Southern Company, Consolidated Edison, and Brookfield Infrastructure. These companies offer high-yielding dividends that have a history of consistent increases. Southern Company's completion of the Vogtle project is expected to boost cash flow and potentially lead to higher dividends. Consolidated Edison's long track record of dividend increases and recent share buyback make it an attractive option. Brookfield Infrastructure's diversified portfolio of stable cash flow-generating assets and consistent dividend growth make it an appealing utility stock.
