Stock Deep Dive: Dominion Energy (D-US)

Since the Fed began its hiking cycle, the market has had no shortage of yield. Higher federal funds rates have led to a lot of capital rotating into money market funds.

These are risk-free, daily liquidity ETFs that pay north of 5% for people to park their cash there.

Sounds pretty sweet.

In addition, we didn’t quite get the cutting cycle that everyone expected. Forecasts for cuts were all paired back over 2024, and we still await the first decrease.

However, many signs show that the economy is slowing, and we do have forecasts pricing a 60% chance of a cut in September.

When we have rate cuts, people start looking elsewhere for yield.

Where do they look? Utilities. These companies provide essential services such as electricity, natural gas, water, and sewage and pay juicy dividends.

This week’s pick is a company in this space that can benefit from a lower interest rate environment, and it’s also at the intersection of a megatrend.
