PPL Corp.: A promising utility at an attractive price

PPL Corp.'s (PPL) stock has continued to meander, following the buy recommendation on May 26, 2009 at a price of $32.15, but I'm reiterating the rating. Here's why:

PPL's business model remains solid: steady, if unspectacular growth in its regulated Pennsylvania power market (1.4 million customers), coupled with stronger growth in unregulated (though more risky) power markets. PPL hopes the increased use of power supply contracts of varying duration will lessen those unregulated market risks.

Look for Allegheny Energy to make the slow walk north

Rare is the day that one should sell an electric power generation play. And the reasons are compelling:

Electricity via wind, solar, and nuclear generation is likely to play a larger role in energy as climate change reduction, then elimination, becomes a societal goal. Electricity also remains a potential propulsion source for cars, given that oil has apparently resumed its climb to uncomfortable levels.

Hence, I'm Reiterating my Buy rating for electric utility Allegheny Energy, Inc. (NYSE: AYE), first recommended on May 30, 2009 at a price of $25.00.

Look for Dominion Resources to electrify investors

Dominion Resources' stock has been in a mild uptrend since first recommend in May, but it's still undervalued, for those investors who missed the May call.

Hence, it goes without saying that I'm reiterating my Buy rating for Dominion Resources (NYSE: D), first recommended on May 8, 2009 at a price of $31.87.

Northeast Utilities knows how to keep the lights on, recession or expansion

Rare is the day I'll sell an electric power generation play. I'm reiterating my Buy rating for Northeast Utilities (NYSE: NU), first recommended on May 6, 2009 at a price of $21.48.

NU's business model is low-risk -- its electric unit primarily serves customers (1.9 million in all) in land-of-steady-habits Connecticut, Western Massachusetts, and New Hampshire, and offers above-average total return, with only a modest downside risk. In this investing environment, that's impressive.

Look for AEP to continue to electrify investors

The U.S. electric power generating sector may be down, due to the recession and a cooler-than-normal summer across much of the U.S., but it's not out.

Hence, it goes without saying that I'm reiterating my Buy rating for American Electric Power (NYSE: AEP), first recommended on May 4, 2009 at a price of $25.38.

PPL Corp. is a mix of safety and growth

Readers of this space know that one of the preferred sectors is the electric power generation sector.

And it's preferred for a reason that may not be obvious to all. Electricity via wind, solar, and nuclear generation is likely to play a large role in energy as climate change reduction, then elimination, becomes a societal goal. Electricity also remains a potential propulsion source for cars, particularly once oil resumes its inevitable climb. And with the above in mind, electric power generator PPL Corporation (NYSE: PPL) is worth a review.
