Utilities IPOs

The utilities sector includes electric, gas, and water utilities. It also includes independent power producers, energy traders, and companies that generate and distribute electricity from renewable sources.

Research Utilities IPOs

Typically one of the least-active US IPO sectors, utilities companies generate or distribute necessities like electricity, gas, and water. For that reason, they tend to be defensive or countercyclical, and offer a dividend. Many of the largest US utilities are either already public or government-owned, so within the IPO space, utilities can include riskier ventures; for example, new solar projects and companies in emerging markets. Renewable power producers have been a mainstay for utilities IPOs. When valuing a utility, investors consider a sustainably high dividend to be of utmost importance, but also evaluate growth, profitability, capex requirements, geographic concentration, and the regulatory environment.
