Duff & Phelps Utility Fund trades at 10.24% discount; buyback and distribution hikes may narrow gap.

Duff & Phelps Utility and Infrastructure Fund (DPG) is trading at a 10.24% discount to its net asset value (NAV), largely due to recent cuts in distributions. Despite this, DPG's leverage and expense ratios align with industry peers, and its long-term NAV performance rivals or exceeds similar funds like UTF and UTG. Key factors expected to reduce the discount include a recent increase in distributions, a 5% share repurchase program, and strong total return potential. The analyst rates DPG as a Buy, anticipating the discount to narrow to around 9% and the fair value to approach $14.40, supported by improving distributions and ongoing buybacks.
