Unitil Corporation (UTL): 7.9% 4. Sempra (SRE): 6.0% 5. Avista Corporation (AVA): 5.1% ### Strongest relative strength versus NIFTY 500 1. Brookfield Infrastructure Partners L.P. (BIP): -0.2% 2. Unitil Corporation (UTL): -4.7% 3. The AES Corporation (AES): -8.3% 4. Avista Corporation (AVA): -12% 5. Algonquin Power & Utilities Corp. (AQN): -14% ## Revenue Scale & Growth Durability What the numbers say: Sempra is the scale leader at $13,555 million, 8.6% ahead of The AES Corporation. Unitil Corporation's growth is 19.5% from a $583 million base, with 19 reported observations in the 20-quarter window. Treat the growth leader as an acceleration candidate, not as equally proven scale. Investor read: Sempra is the scale benchmark; Unitil Corporation is the acceleration watch. Promote the challenger only if growth persists and converts into margin and returns. This conclusion weakens if: Sempra's growth falls below Unitil Corporation's for two consecutive comparable reports while operating margin also compresses. Evidence: Sempra · $13,555 million | 8.6% versus #2 · The AES Corporation | 3/8 recent comparable periods | 5/6 companies · 114 observations Definition: Revenue is compared on a common reported-currency basis. Growth is year-on-year, so seasonality does not masquerade as progress. ### Revenue — largest 1. Sempra (SRE): ₹13.6K Cr 2. The AES Corporation (AES): ₹12.5K Cr 3. Algonquin Power & Utilities Corp.

Only 3 of 6 companies have earnings and growth steady enough for the ratio to mean anything, so no broad “cheapest stock” conclusion is defensible unless the current multiple, own-history position and growth durability agree. Investor read: Treat valuation as permission to investigate, never as a standalone reason to buy. This conclusion weakens if: The next two comparable reports reverse the current p/e signal. Evidence: Avista Corporation · 1.14× | 46% versus #2 · Unitil Corporation | 0/8 recent comparable periods | 3/6 companies · 19 observations Definition: PEG is shown only when earnings are positive and three-year EPS growth is between 5% and 60%. It is recomputed consistently as the trailing P/E divided by that growth rate — reported earnings, never an expected-earnings multiple. On Indian companies it is shown only where the two data feeds agreed. Where any of that fails the ratio is left out rather than printed: a P/E divided by a loss, or by growth measured off a tiny base, is a number that looks precise and means nothing. ### PEG — lowest PEG 1.

The page keeps level and change separate for that reason. - A high ROCE can be temporary or flattered by a small capital base. Read it beside margin, cash conversion and reinvestment. - The 4-Factor Sector Score ranks research priority, not portfolio action. Management quality, catalysts and risks need equally fresh evidence before capital is deployed. - An “all companies” line chart preserves completeness, but rank changes should be checked against reporting dates before drawing a conclusion. ## Every company - Sempra (SRE) — market value ₹56.6K Cr; latest fundamentals Mar 2026 - Brookfield Infrastructure Partners L.P.

Unitil Corporation has the fastest current revenue growth at 19.5%, across 5 of 6 comparable companies. ### Which Utilities - Diversified company has the strongest 4-Factor Sector Score? Unitil Corporation ranks first at 57.5/100 with 75.1% evidence confidence. The score prioritizes research; it is not a buy recommendation. ### Which Utilities - Diversified company has the lowest comparable PEG? Avista Corporation has the lowest comparable PEG at 1.14, among 3 of 6 companies whose earnings and growth are steady enough for the ratio to mean anything. ### How much history does this Utilities - Diversified comparison include? The page compares up to 20 reported quarters per company for fundamentals, returns and valuation, ending Jun 2026. Missing observations remain blank rather than being estimated. ### How is the 4-Factor Sector Score calculated? The four visible contributions add directly: growth and earnings up to 35 points, capital efficiency up to 25, valuation up to 20, and relative strength up to 20. Missing or stale evidence moves only the affected contribution toward neutral. ### Which Utilities - Diversified company is the biggest? Sempra is the largest, with trailing-twelve-month revenue of $13,555 million, ahead of The AES Corporation at $12,487 million. That covers 5 of 6 companies with comparable reporting through Mar 2026. ### Which Utilities - Diversified company has the best profit margins? Sempra has the highest operating margin at 29.8%, from 6 of 6 comparable companies. The AES Corporation shows the biggest recent improvement, at +6 percentage points. A high margin matters most when it is holding or rising, not when it is peaking. ### Which Utilities - Diversified company makes the most profit? Sempra earns the most, at $2,886 million of trailing-twelve-month net profit, from 5 of 6 comparable companies. Unitil Corporation has the fastest profit growth at 16.7%, though growth off a small or recovering profit base overstates how much has actually changed. ### Which Utilities - Diversified company earns the highest return on capital? Unitil Corporation leads on return on capital employed at 3.4%, across 6 of 6 companies. Read it beside the length of its reported history: a high return that repeats for years is evidence of a durable business, while a single high reading can be a small capital base or one good year. ### Which Utilities - Diversified stock is the cheapest? On PEG — where a LOWER number is cheaper — Avista Corporation screens cheapest at 1.14×. Only 3 of 6 companies have earnings and growth steady enough for the ratio to mean anything, so this is not a sector-wide "cheapest stock" verdict. Cheap on a multiple is a reason to investigate, never a reason to buy on its own. ### Is the Utilities - Diversified sector beating the market? Utilities - Diversified has underperformed S&P 500 by 7.5% over the last 52 weeks and 3.8% over 13 weeks, measured on an equal-weight index of its current members. Inside the sector, 0 of 6 covered companies are beating the market on their own. Sector strength does not transfer evenly to every stock in it. ### Which Utilities - Diversified stock has the strongest price momentum? Brookfield Infrastructure Partners L.P. has the strongest relative strength against S&P 500. Relative strength answers last, after growth, quality and valuation: price can move well before the fundamentals confirm it, and sometimes without them confirming at all. ### Which Utilities - Diversified company scores highest for research priority? Unitil Corporation scores 57.5 out of 100 with 75.1% evidence confidence, from 20.3 points on growth and earnings, 15.6 on capital efficiency, 8.4 on valuation and 13.2 on relative strength. This ranks what deserves work next. It is not a buy recommendation, and management quality, catalysts and risk still need separate research. ### How many Utilities - Diversified companies does this comparison cover, and over what period? It compares 6 listed companies over up to 20 reported quarters of fundamentals, ending Jun 2026, plus weekly price and relative-strength history. Membership is the full sector list — nothing is dropped for having thin data. ### What is the total market cap of the Utilities - Diversified sector?

The median price-to-earnings ratio across the 6 Utilities - Diversified companies on this page is 26.7×, measured on the 6 that report a comparable figure.

The full ranked list is on this page, with reported fundamentals through Jun 2026. Membership is the full industry list — nothing is dropped for having thin data. ### Why are some values on this page blank? A blank means that company did not report a comparable figure for that period, so nothing is shown. Missing observations are never interpolated, carried forward, or replaced with a similar-looking accounting line, and a company with missing evidence has its research score pulled toward neutral rather than being scored as bad. ### Is this investment advice? No. Every figure here is a deterministic calculation from reported company filings and market data, published for research. It contains no recommendation to buy or sell any security, does not account for your circumstances, and is not a substitute for advice from a licensed adviser.
