Chart Watchlist: Utility

The graphs below are up to date graphs from one year ago to the latest available market price. Utilities are slow and steady. They provide solid income and a cushion during recessionary environments. Utilities see consistent earnings and dividends because everyone needs electricity, gas, and water. Utility dividends will keep up with inflation because the expenses are passed on directly to the end user.
