Utilities Stocks Outlook 2026: AI Data Centers, Fed Rate Cuts and Rising Power Bills Put the Sector Back in Focus

Utilities Stocks Outlook 2026: AI Data Centers, Fed Rate Cuts and Rising Power Bills Put the Sector Back in Focus

U.S. utilities stocks are ending 2025 with a split personality. On one hand, the group is still a classic “defensive” trade—regulated cash flows, dividend support, and historically lower volatility than the broader market. On the other, utilities have quietly become one of the most important “real economy” beneficiaries of the AI boom, because every new data center and electrified industrial…

Utilities Stocks Week Ahead (Dec 22–26, 2025): Data-Center Power Demand, Record PJM Prices, and Fed “Pause” Signals Shape the Holiday Trade

Published: December 21, 2025 — Week Ahead Outlook Utilities stocks head into the Christmas-shortened trading week caught between two powerful narratives. On one side, rate cuts and a “soft-ish” growth backdrop usually favor utilities—classic “bond-proxy” shares that tend to benefit when investors expect borrowing costs to drift lower. On the other, utilities are no longer trading like sleepy defensives. The…

As of Dec. 20, 2025, the utilities story is no longer just “bond-proxy,…

National Grid plc Stock (NG.L): Share Price, RIIO‑T3 Decision, Sea Link Contracts and Analyst Forecasts as of 20 December 2025

National Grid plc stock is heading into the end of 2025 with investors focused on a single, very modern problem: electrification is accelerating faster than grid infrastructure can comfortably keep up. For a regulated utility, that can be a gift (predictable, funded growth) or a headache (political scrutiny, bill impacts, execution risk). Right now, the market is weighing both. As…

Applied Digital (APLD) and the AI Data Center Power Crunch: $16B Backlog, New Buildouts, and the Utilities Rush (Dec. 15, 2025)

The global race to scale artificial intelligence is no longer just about who can secure the most advanced GPUs.

  • 3 Lesser-Known Space Stocks Set to Gain from NASA's Artemis Moon Missions
    January 28, 2026, 6:19 AM EST. NASA's Artemis program aims to return humans to the moon and eventually Mars, sparking investor interest in related space stocks. Three lesser-known companies stand to benefit significantly. Karman Holdings ($15 billion market cap), which went public in early 2025, shows a bullish outlook with a forward price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 185 and strong projected earnings growth. MDA Space ($3.6 billion market cap) offers solid returns year-to-date with a forward P/E of 24, while Graham Corp. ($775 million market cap) has delivered impressive three-year stock growth. As Artemis missions advance, smaller aerospace firms like these may see more pronounced financial impacts compared to industry giants typically associated with space contracts. Investors should watch these stocks for exposure to the expanding space exploration sector.
