Tessera Sector
Top Utilities Stocks
Electric, gas, and water utilities. Regulated returns, high capex, and dividend-led total returns characterize the sector.
The Utilities sector posts a median Tessera Quality Score of 59 against a universe-wide median of 48, placing it meaningfully above average on the screener's composite methodology. That gap of 11 points suggests the sector, as a group, exhibits relatively stronger quality characteristics than most of the broader coverage universe, though individual dispersion remains wide across the 78 qualifying members.
Valuation context is notable: the sector's median P/E sits at 20.4, a level that reflects the traditionally stable, regulated earnings profiles associated with utility businesses. Among the top-ranked names by Tessera score, JE leads at 0.34, followed closely by LIME at 0.31. AMPS rounds out the next tier at 0.25, sharing that score with RNW. It is worth observing that even the highest individual scores in this sector remain well below the midpoint of the 100-point scale, indicating that the top-ranked names here are not scoring in absolute terms what might be considered high-quality by the screener's broader standards — they are simply the strongest relative performers within the sector cohort.
Against the full universe, the Utilities sector's aggregate score of 59 positions it as an above-median sector, outpacing the cross-sector average of 48 by a meaningful margin. This relative standing reflects the sector's tendency toward predictable cash flows and regulated structures, qualities that the Tessera methodology appears to capture favorably at the sector level even as individual constituent scores remain moderate in absolute terms.
