Generally, Utilities have much higher dividend payout ratios than their blue-chip peers because they have less room for expansion. Therefore, they pay a higher percentage of their retained earnings to their shareholders in the form of cash dividends. Although a payout ratio between 75% - 95% is not considered healthy, utilities tend to have payout ratios in this range as well as high debt-to-equity ratios.

The general notion is that strong competition in Utilities is inefficient. This article discusses three utilities companies that trade on the NYSE. The... Read moreConglomerates For Dividend Income
