This sector primarily consists of electric, natural gas, and water companies. The utility stocks represent 2.88% of the market weight. As a result, the utility sector is attractive to invest in.

Some of the best utility stocks to consider are Exelon Corporation (NASDAQ:EXC), Duke Energy Corporation (NYSE:DUK), and American Water Works Company Inc. (NYSE:AWK).

The U.S. economy cannot function without the services of utility companies. Apart from supporting almost every critical infrastructure of the economy, the utility sector also employs many people. More than 962,650 people work in the U.S. utility sector.

Legacy Ridge Capital commented on NRG Energy, Inc. (NYSE:NRG) in its Q4 2022 investor letter:

“NRG Energy, Inc. (NYSE:NRG) was covered in the 2019 letter with VST. We sold the shares as COVID induced volatility presented better risk/reward opportunities, but never subsequently repurchased shares—as we did with VST. Not only do we think VST is a better value, but the management team at NRG appears to have gone astray. Despite coming to his position during an activist campaign by Elliott Management in 2017, when the prior empire-building CEO was shown the door, the replacement CEO has seemingly embarked on the same failed strategy. In early December they announced the purchase of Vivint Smart Home, a smart home platform company, for $2.8 billion. The transaction diversifies NRG’s business, increases leverage, dramatically reduces intermediate-term shareholder capital returns, and most importantly, is the opposite of what management told us they were going to do when they assumed the role in 2017. The stock fell 15% on the day of the announcement and is down another 5% since then, and now 10% lower than when we first wrote about it. We like the generation business at NRG and the valuation is almost back to interesting, but we’d probably have to see turnover in the C-suite and a refreshed corporate strategy to reignite our enthusiasm.”
