    Shares of the utility are up about 25 percent over the past year, in contrast to a 13 percent decline in the S&P 500. Revenue has been slightly flat over the past year, and the company has just been profitable in the most recent quarter.
    Action to take: Shares trade for about 15 times forward earnings, a reasonable valuation for a utility stock. The company is defensive in nature, so it may underperform in a bull market, but is ideal for current market conditions. It’s also a dividend growth play, with a starting yield of just over 3.1 percent right now.

    For traders, the October $25 calls, last going for about $1.15, can leverage a further uptrend in shares in the coming weeks. Traders can likely grab mid-double-digit gains on the option.
