Why Algonquin Power & Utilities Stock Plunged 31.7% in November: https://g.foolcdn.com/editorial/images/712287/a-stressed-person-looking-at-a-falling-stock-price-chart-on-a-computer-screen.jpg

Shares of Algonquin Power & Utilities (NYSE: AQN) crashed 31.7% in November, according to data provided by S&P Global Market Intelligence. It turned out to be the worst month for the utility stock in 2022 so far, with Algonquin shares now tumbling a whopping 49% year to date as of this writing.

Utility stocks typically carry large amounts of debt and have, therefore, taken a beating this year amid rising interest rates. Algonquin shares started to feel the heat as well in recent months, but a company announcement last month triggered panic selling among investors, especially those who own the stock for its dividends. The question on investors' minds now is whether Algonquin's 9.7% yield is sustainable.
