In the News
BUI: A History Of Underperformance, But Should Be Reliable
BlackRock Utilities, Infrastructure & Power Opportunities Trust aims to provide high current income by investing in utilities and infrastructure companies and writing covered call options. BUI has underperformed the U.S. utility sector but has seen its share price appreciate by 11.01% over the past six months. The fund offers a yield of 6.82%, outperforming other utilities and many infrastructure index funds in terms of yield.
ASGI And BUI: 2 Conservative Utility Plays For 2024
Utilities remain attractive as long-term investments, and the headwind of higher rates is quickly turning into a tailwind for the sector that could continue through 2024. BlackRock Utilities, Infrastructure & Power Opportunities Trust and abrdn Global Infrastructure Income Fund are two conservative utility-oriented funds that do not employ leverage. Outside of each fund's material utility sleeve, they also carry some broader diversification through additional infrastructure exposure primarily related to the industrial sector.
BUI: 7% Yield, 4% Discount, Will Benefit From Lower Rates In 2024
The utilities sector is down more than 11% in 2023, but certain utility stocks and funds have outperformed the S&P 500 in the past month. BlackRock Utilities, Infrastructure & Power Opportunities Trust is up 6% in the past month. BUI pays a monthly dividend with a yield of 6.86% and covered its distributions by a factor of 1.26X in Q1-2 '23.
4 Closed-End Fund Buys From The Month Of November 2023
The market is anticipating rate cuts, which led to a rally in November as rates on risk-free Treasuries retreated. Closed-end funds present good investment opportunities, trading at historically deep discounts. While the key theme this year had been primarily to avoid adding significant amounts of leverage, I made an exception with adding a PIMCO fund.
BUI Vs. DNP: One Clear Winner Amongst Utility CEFs
We had rated DNP a Strong Sell, as the fund had a toxic combination of leverage and premium to NAV. DNP has dropped sharply and thesis has been validated. We compare this with another fund, BUI, and tell you why we prefer the latter.
BUI: I Was Early, But I'm Still A Bull On Infrastructure And Utilities
The BlackRock Utility & Infrastructure Trust (BUI) is currently undervalued and sitting in correction territory. BUI's discount to NAV has expanded to over 8%, suggesting that investors have disproportionately sold off the fund. Despite a 12% loss in share price, the widening discount is a positive sign and indicates that BUI may start moving upward soon.
BUI: Better Than Expected, But Interest Rates Will Be A Drag On Performance
BlackRock Utilities, Infrastructure & Power Opportunities Trust invests in overlooked utilities and infrastructure companies that generate strong and stable cash flows. The BUI closed-end fund has underperformed the market, with shares down 17.37%, but the share price performance does not reflect the income generated from dividends and distributions. The fund pays a current yield of 7.61% and provides a way to obtain a positive real yield without venturing into fixed-income investments.
Utility Stocks Should Beat The Market: My 3 Top Buys
Utilities are currently cheap compared to their historical average valuation (as well as compared to the broader market) and offer both growth potential and stock price upside. Federal legislation incentivizing decarbonization and electrification will fuel massive growth in the utility sector. I highlight my three favorite utilities and utility-adjacent stocks to buy during the current dip in utility stock prices.
BUI: Reasonable Buy At This Level (Rating Upgrade)
The BlackRock Utility & Infrastructure Trust (BUI) is evaluated as an investment option, with the fund's objective being to provide total return through income, gains and long-term capital appreciation. Despite a 2% drop in total return, BUI has moved into discount territory, which is generally a good buying opportunity for investors interested in total return. The fund's performance is diverging from the broader market, with the Utilities sector being the second-worst performer year-to-date, which could be a buy case for contrarian thinkers.
BUI: Solid Yield Via Dividends And Covered Calls
BUI generates a nice yield in the Utilities and Infrastructure arena using covered calls and underlying dividends. You can like the yield but that is not the best part. The lack of leverage is what will warm your soul as you navigate through the next recession.
