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.
PORPortland General Electric Company
Utilities - Regulated Electric · $49.59 · beta 0.53
Why now
Utilities - Regulated Electric · market cap $5.8b. 9% off the 52-week high of $54.62. 11 sell-side analysts rate this a Hold with a mean 1-yr target of $53.05 (implying +7% upside).
Moat
Higher-variance name — the moat signals on the quantitative card are modest, so the durability case rests on execution (turning current growth into durable earnings power) or an un-monetized asset (IP / network effects / first-mover position) rather than an entrenched competitive position.
Risk
Free cash flow is negative (-$189m) — capital raises or debt issuance likely required; dilution / leverage risk. Dividend payout 94% of earnings on a 4.3% yield — distribution coverage is thin; one earnings stumble could force a dividend cut. ROE 6% is below the long-run sustainable threshold of ~10% — capital efficiency would need to improve for the equity base to compound at the market rate.
