Jan 08, 2013 (SmarTrend(R) News Watch via COMTEX) --
Below are the three companies in the Electric Utilities industry with the highest forward earnings yields. Using projected earnings for the current fiscal year, the forward earnings yield is useful to compare a stock's return vs. owning a similar stock or other yield assets (e.g. bonds). Generally, the higher the earnings yield, the more undervalued the stock.Exelon ranks highest with a forward earnings yield of 9.6%. Following is FPL Group with a forward earnings yield of 8.9%. Entergy ranks third highest with a forward earnings yield of 8.7%.
PPL follows with a forward earnings yield of 8.1%, and FirstEnergy rounds out the top five with a forward earnings yield of 8.1%.
SmarTrend recommended that its subscribers protect gains by selling shares of Exelon on November 1st, 2012 by issuing a Downtrend alert when the shares were trading at $35.04. Since that call, shares of Exelon have fallen 14.8%. We are now looking for when a new Uptrend will commence and will alert SmarTrend subscribers in real time.
