Market Eyes LiveUtility Stocks, Rated
Utilities are regulated monopolies in most of their territories: returns are set by regulators rather than by competition. That makes them the most bond-like part of the equity market, and it is also why they are the sector most exposed to the direction of long-term interest rates.
Every score below is free. 17 utility stocks scored on the same eight factors, updated as the data changes.
Ranked by composite score
Ranked highest to lowest by MELANY composite score, a 0 to 100 reading from eight factors. Each row links to the full breakdown and the live price. Ratings are a dated snapshot, most recently computed 2026-08-19.
These tiers are algorithmic research readings, not a recommendation to buy or sell any security, and not personalized investment advice. Ranking order is not a suggested purchase order.
What is in the app for these 17 companies
The score and the eight factors behind it are open on every company page. The trade plan is the part that is not: one suggested entry price per company, the stop, the targets, and an alert when a name enters its entry zone. That unlocks free when you create an account.
What moves this group
The regulatory rate case is the fundamental event that matters most, because it sets the allowed return on the capital a utility invests. Rate base growth, meaning approved investment in the network, drives earnings growth. Rising long rates hurt twice: they raise financing costs for a heavily indebted sector and make the dividend less attractive against bonds. Data-center demand has become a genuine new growth driver for some.

How Market Eyes Live scores these companies
Every company on this page is scored by MELANY, our own engine, which reads regulatory filings and market data and produces a composite score from 0 to 100 across eight factors: valuation, business quality, price momentum, earnings track record, analyst sentiment, catalyst setup, risk-adjusted profile and macro fit.
Each score maps to a conviction tier rather than a buy or sell call. Established companies with enough financial history are judged on fundamentals. Pre-profit or thin-data companies are judged on a separate speculative path that leans on momentum and theme strength, because there are not enough fundamentals to read. That is why two names with similar scores can carry very different risk.
Frequently asked questions
Why are utilities sensitive to interest rates?
They carry heavy debt and are held largely for income, so higher long rates raise their costs and give income investors an alternative.
What is rate base growth?
The regulator-approved investment in a utility network on which the company is allowed to earn a return. It is the main driver of earnings growth in a regulated utility.
Are utility dividends safe?
Dividend durability depends on the payout ratio, the regulatory environment and the balance sheet. Our quality factor covers the balance-sheet side of that question.
