PPL Corp (PPL)

CAPS Rating:
*****

An energy and utility holding company that, through its subsidiaries, is primarily engaged in the generation and marketing of electricity in the northeastern and western U.S. and in the delivery of electricity in Pennsylvania, the U.K. and Latin America.

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.

Look out - in 2010 a 30+% price hike for all of PPL's customers can only mean a hike in both share price AND dividend (which is currently modest in its industry compared to its peers). I'd consider making this the anchor stock of a growth & income portfolio for the next 5-10 years...Buy, Buy, Buy!

Great recession play, strong dividend. Prospects in nuclear and coal.

Long term buy and hold

Super cheap, and major catalysts in the upcoming 2010 rate hikes and rise in the ratio of off-peak to peak hours (off-peak are sold at a much higher margin). They have strong hedges in place for coal and natural gas price jumps, and, my favourite, they are a great nuclear and hydro play (Already have over 2000mw of nuclear capacity, and have submitted plans for a new joint facility with Areva)

I see this stock going sky high when natural gas comes more into focus. Once their rate hike goes through and their new lines are installed. More big things to come.
