Despite a late-year rally, utility stocks were among the stock market’s worst performers in 2023. That’s about to change with a vengeance—whether the New Year brings a rising market with rapid sector rotation from bloated Big Tech, or a US recession and sell-off. The utility earnings Armageddon many predicted would result from rising interest rates never happened. Now rates are headed lower, and investment is set to keep driving growth. And best-in-class utilities earnings, dividends, and stock prices are gearing up for potentially their biggest year since 2000—when the Dow Jones Industrial Average returned more than 50%. Join 37-year industry veteran Roger Conrad as he highlights his top utility picks for 2024—as well as what to avoid.
The past 18 months have been a wild ride for the energy market with oil trading over $100/bbl and under $70/bbl and US natural gas prices reaching 10+ year highs in the summer of 2022 only to crash under $2/MMBtu last spring. A year ago, the US and other developed countries were begging Saudi Arabia and the rest of OPEC for more supply; today the market is obsessed with how much, and for how long, the cartel I willing to restrict production to prop up prices. In this session, Roger Conrad and Elliott Gue, will cut through all the noise and conflicting narratives about energy commodities and identify a handful of their top energy stocks to buy for 2024.
