"The utilities sector continues to show strong, secular growth driven by data centers and electrification, translating to a projected 10%+ EPS CAGR that supports robust dividend increases."
In 4Q 2025, the utilities sector completed its second consecutive year of absolute performance exceeding 15%. Although the sector stalled in the final quarter due to a rotation into cyclical sectors, the fundamental outlook remains highly constructive. Surging electricity demand from data centers and manufacturing reshoring is prompting utilities to aggressively increase capital expenditure, driving massive upward revisions to EPS estimates for 2026–2028. To capture this growth, the portfolio added to positions in high-quality operators like NextEra Energy and Sempra Energy, while trimming Public Service Enterprise Group on New Jersey regulatory headwinds.
