out of 100

What the company does

Consolidated Edison has delivered power, gas and steam to New York since Edison's days, literally. The regulated monopoly of America's densest city: slow growth, a dividend raised for half a century and a lifetime negotiating with Albany's regulator.

What will shape its future

  • The rates New York approves, the only variable that truly matters.
  • Electrifying the city (buildings, vehicles), its investment of the decade.
  • The dividend: it is the definition of a retiree stock, and is valued as such.
