IDU: Utilities Dashboard For July
This article provides a top-down analysis of the utilities sector based on valuation, quality, and momentum metrics. Water utilities are undervalued by 17% versus 11-year averages, while electricity/multi-utilities are overvalued by 13%. IDU and XLU ETFs have nearly identical long-term returns and risk, but XLU's lower fees and higher liquidity make it preferable for most investors.

IDU: I Like The Utilities Sector At This Juncture (Rating Upgrade)
Evaluating iShares U.S. Utilities ETF as an investment option, focusing on U.S. utilities like electricity, gas, water, and waste management services. Other cyclical sectors, such as Technology, Consumer Discretionary, and Industrials are more expensive, making Utilities a potential value play. Climate and political risks are present, but I believe the potential value here outweighs those risks. I am shifting my rating on IDU to "buy."
