Five regulated utility companies—Southern Company, Duke Energy, Consolidated Edison, WEC Energy Group, and Black Hills—continue to provide attractive dividend yields ranging from 3.24% to 3.65%, backed by solid earnings and long records of dividend increases. These utilities benefit from predictable revenue due to regulated rates and growing customer bases, including strong demand from data centers. However, rising interest rates pose challenges by increasing debt costs and pressuring valuations. Investors seeking steady, growing income may find these utilities suitable for long-term dividend growth despite the current rate environment.
Southern Company and Duke Energy are key utilities mentioned with dividend yields around 3.45% and 3.67%. On Pluang, Southern Company trades at USD 88.21, up 0.11%, while Duke Energy is at USD 118.34, up 0.13% as of Oct 14, 2026 22:11 WIB.
