Utility Stocks Can Be Steady Performers In Times Of Turmoil

FYI: Utility stocks lived up to their reputation as a solid defensive play in 2018, and they have the potential to keep outperforming, especially if more volatility ensues.

“There’s still quite a bit of uncertainty as to where the market’s going to go,” says Christopher Muir, an equity analyst with CFRA.

Although the sector lagged behind the market early in 2018, it ended up with a total return of 4.1%, compared with minus 4.4% for the S & P 500.
