Utilities are often great options for income investors. That's because these entities typically generate stable cash flow by providing recurring services to customers such as distributing electricity and natural gas to homes and businesses. With a minimal need for the excess cash those services generate, these companies are free to return a significant portion to investors by way of lucrative dividends.
