The Vanguard Utilities Index Fund ETF (VPU) is well-positioned to capitalize on increasing U.S. electricity demand driven by data centers, electrification, and commercial expansion. With a low expense ratio of 0.09% and a forward price-to-earnings ratio of 17x, VPU trades below the S&P 500 average of 21x. Key holdings such as NextEra Energy (NEE), Southern Company (SO), and Duke Energy (DUK) are expected to deliver annual EPS growth of 5% to 9% and are making significant capital investments through 2030. The ETF offers broad exposure to the utilities sector, which benefits from strong secular demand and resilient total return potential, making it a recommended buy for investors.
