Natural gas (distribution)
Article Abstract:
The ground rules for the natural gas pipe line and gas utility industries have been revised by state and federal regulators with the purpose of greater competition through deregulation. The financial returns from deregulation have been modest so far in 1998, but the dynamics of the natural gas (distribution) industry has been altered and wider margins are forecast for the future. Prices for these stocks remain stable and should be sought mainly by income investors.

Natural gas (distribution)
Article Abstract:
Gas utilities have been reshaping their corporate profiles in order to garner wider shares of nonregulated markets, with both state and federal regulators setting competition guidelines within the industry. Utilities have changed practices in order to recover natural gas sale and distribution costs, and profit margins have become razor thin. Investors need to evaluate these stocks on a yield basis in order to achieve reliable income.
