NSTAR (NST)

CAPS Rating:
****

A holding company engaged through its subsidiaries in the energy delivery business serving approximately 1.4 million customers in Massachusetts.

Rating a stock in CAPS consists of three components:

Your call - Will this stock outperform or underperform the S&P 500? Successful picks are measured in terms of whether or not you were correct and by how many percentage points.

Your time frame - A guideline for other members to see whether your thinking is short or long-term. Time frame is also used to calculate the stock rating, but is not used in the scoring of your pick.

Your pitch - Here's your chance to offer more detailed thoughts, analysis, concerns, or the rationale behind your call. The pitch is optional and may be added later.

Each time you rate a stock, CAPS updates the community intelligence for the company, which may or may not change its CAPS rating. For more information, visit the Help tab at the top of the page.

Demand for energy isn't going down any time soon. Nice growing dividend. PE at industry average stock at 52 week high. No bargain at this price but has long term potential.

This stock is included in the Morningstar "Dividend Portfolio," which I use as my core stock group. I highly suggest anyone interested in dividend income take a look at this grouping of quality income producing stocks. This stock is the first utility holding for the portfolio, it pays a little less in dividends, but adds diversification to the overall portfolio and has a good dividend growth rate.

The company enjoys consistent earnings and looks poised for growth. On top of its steady income stream is one of the highest dividend payouts in the business.

That is, until there is a new No. 1 stock!
