Regulated utilities promise predictable dividends, but rising interest rates and shifting demand are testing that promise right now.

Since my hold article in June, WEC Energy Group (WEC) has sold off significantly. The regulated utility is engaged in active discussions with various prospective data center and very large-scale customers in the 400 to 500-megawatt range. WEC Energy Group's interest coverage ratio was strong in H1 2026.

WEC Energy Group (WEC) has been facing pressure due to higher risk-free rates, pushing it to a more attractive valuation.

With that, the valuation has now presented a better opportunity for a dividend growth investor for the long term, despite short-term volatility.

Investors looking for stocks in the Utility - Electric Power sector might want to consider either PG&E (PCG) or WEC Energy Group (WEC). But which of these two companies is the best option for those looking for undervalued stocks?

Data centers are doubling their power demands almost overnight, and regulated utilities that lock in long-term supply contracts stand to collect that revenue for decades.
