It’s been an interesting ride for the Reaves Utility Income Trust ( UTG ) over the past several years as shares reached around $36 in September 2021 then fell -34.03% to $23.75 in October of 2023. Since then the use case for artificial intelligence ((A.I.)) has dominated the headlines on financial news networks and utilities became interesting again because of the increased amounts of power needed to run upcoming data centers. Over the past 2-years shares of UTG have rallied to 5-year highs as they have climbed 63.58% to $38.85 while generating large amounts of monthly income through its distribution. I don’t believe the growth cycle is over as utility companies provide essential services like electricity, water, and natural gas throughout the country. Due to increased economic activity, infrastructure buildouts and an increased CapEx allocation to data centers I believe that utilities will continue to benefit from a super cycle of capital being deployed toward the A.I. boom which will benefit UTG’s underlying holdings and effectively benefit UTG. I believe that UTG will remain a strategic option for income investors looking for alternative ways to generate income as the risk-free rate of return declines with the prospects for further capital appreciation. Shares of UTG may look like they are stabilizing after breaking out over the past year but with the amount of capital being deployed in the A.I. race I think 2026 will be produce similar results for UTG....
