Utilities
Regulated power and water — the rate-sensitive defensive.
Updated June 18, 2026
Regulated utilities whose dividends compete with bond yields (XLU, FXU, DUK, CMS, LNT). Defensive and rate-sensitive — cleanly separated from the merchant-power names, which trade as cyclicals.
Cumulative excess return vs SPY — trailing 52 weeks
Average weekly rank — trailing 52 weeks (0 = bottom, 100 = top)
31 names cluster here, grouped purely by how their prices have moved together over the last five years (with the market’s common move removed) — not by GICS sector. Each row shows price change over 1 day, 1 week, 1 month and 1 year, then the four SYMBOL-card scores: Perform (beat vs the S&P 500), Persist (how steadily it holds rank), Profit (business growth) and Pressure (money flow & volatility). Scores are percentiles from 0–100; greener is stronger.
