RE: Slow and Steady: Utility Company Dividends
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
You have to consider this ratio is the percentage of net income paid out to shareholders. There's a lot of money involved in maintaining gas and electric lines, in addition to needing to have funds to expand.
Most utility companies operate within that range. Too little and you'd have no investors. Too much, and you can't afford to even keep up maintenance costs, let alone expand.
