Advisors' Opinion:
  • [By Tom Rojas and Maria Armental var popups = dojo.query(".socialByline .popC"); ]

    Exelon Corp.(EXC) said its earnings increased by 35% in the third quarter, driven by improvements in both its utility and generation businesses. Shares were up 0.6% to $35.95 premarket.

  • [By Justin Loiseau]

    The Southern Company (NYSE: SO  )  and Exelon Corporation (NYSE: EXC  ) are some of the biggest utilities around. But as you can see, no one's cash is priced as prettily as Duke Energy's. The Southern Company is a close runner-up, with a ratio of 8.35, but Exelon Corporation's 4.74 is a clear signal that there's more to a dividend stock than cash flow alone.
