Generally speaking, utilities are over-valued on a relative basis versus the broader equity universe. This is a rotation play as investors seek higher returns in relatively undervalued equities with a potentially superior risk return profile. Although debate may reign with regards to the efficiency of markets, it seems reasonable that investors as a whole will seek to put capital allocated for equities into those segments with lower intrinsic values. Utilities have been a "safe" harbor during the recent economic storm, but soon investors may leave the safe harbor for other destinations.
