4
The Secret
Its UK electricity distribution business — serving customers in Wales and the West Midlands — has been a core part of its earnings story, making it unusually transatlantic for a U.S. utility.
5
The Lore
It's a classic dividend stalwart, beloved by income investors, and calls the Lehigh Valley of Pennsylvania home — a region better known for steel history than power companies.
6
The Giveaway
Headquartered in Allentown, Pennsylvania — yes, the city of the Billy Joel song — this utility's three-letter ticker is also a perfectly ordinary English word meaning 'people.'
