CIGComp En De Mn Cemig
Utilities - Regulated Electric · $1.92 · beta 0.06
Why now
Utilities - Regulated Electric · market cap n/a. Down 30% from 52-week high of $2.76 — deep drawdown territory. PEG 0.33 — paying under fair value for the growth rate. 3 sell-side analysts publish a mean 1-yr target of $2.14 (implying +11% upside).
Moat
Net margin 18% beats the market median by a meaningful margin — the company is keeping more of every revenue dollar than the average S&P constituent. ROE 26% — top-decile capital efficiency. Either pricing leverage, low capital intensity, or aggressive buybacks; the durability story depends on which.
Risk
Down 30% from the 52-week high — the market is pricing in something the screen can't see; verify the bear case before sizing up. Dividend payout 80% of earnings on a 9.2% yield — distribution coverage is thin; one earnings stumble could force a dividend cut.

Why now
Utilities - Regulated Electric · market cap $28.1b. 13% off the 52-week high of $155.75. Revenue growing +16%, comfortably above the S&P median. 14 sell-side analysts rate this a Buy with a mean 1-yr target of $159.46 (implying +18% upside).
Moat
ROE 10% meets the long-run market sustainable threshold — solid but not differentiated; the durability comes from elsewhere.
Risk
D/E 2.29 is elevated — limits strategic flexibility and raises refinancing exposure if rates stay higher for longer. Free cash flow is negative (-$1.5b) — capital raises or debt issuance likely required; dilution / leverage risk.
