Investors looking for stocks in the Utility - Electric Power sector might want to consider either Evergy Inc (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/evrg#NASDAQ">EVRG</a>) or Consolidated Edison (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ed#NYSE">ED</a>). But which of these two companies is the best option for those looking for undervalued stocks? Let&#39;s take a closer look.
The best way to find great value stocks is to pair a strong Zacks Rank with an impressive grade in the Value category of our Style Scores system. The proven Zacks Rank puts an emphasis on earnings estimates and estimate revisions, while our Style Scores work to identify stocks with specific traits.
Currently, Evergy Inc has a Zacks Rank of #2 (Buy), while Consolidated Edison has a Zacks Rank of #3 (Hold). Investors should feel comfortable knowing that EVRG likely has seen a stronger improvement to its earnings outlook than ED has recently. However, value investors will care about much more than just this.
Value investors also try to analyze a wide range of traditional figures and metrics to help determine whether a company is undervalued at its current share price levels.
Our Value category highlights undervalued companies by looking at a variety of key metrics, including the popular P/E ratio, as well as the P/S ratio, earnings yield, cash flow per share, and a variety of other fundamentals that have been used by value investors for years.
EVRG currently has a forward P/E ratio of 15.34, while ED has a forward P/E of 18.92. We also note that EVRG has a PEG ratio of 3.07. This metric is used similarly to the famous P/E ratio, but the PEG ratio also takes into account the stock&#39;s expected earnings growth rate. ED currently has a PEG ratio of 3.39.
Another notable valuation metric for EVRG is its P/B ratio of 1.39. The P/B is a method of comparing a stock&#39;s market value to its book value, which is defined as total assets minus total liabilities. By comparison, ED has a P/B of 1.61.
Based on these metrics and many more, EVRG holds a Value grade of B, while ED has a Value grade of C.
EVRG is currently sporting an improving earnings outlook, which makes it stick out in our Zacks Rank model. And, based on the above valuation metrics, we feel that EVRG is likely the superior value option right now.

(NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ed#NYSE">ED</a>) need to pay close attention to the stock based on moves in the options market lately. That is because the Aug 16, 2024 $50.00 Call had some of the highest implied volatility of all equity options today.
<h3>What is Implied Volatility?</h3>
Implied volatility shows how much movement the market is expecting in the future. Options with high levels of implied volatility suggest that investors in the underlying stocks are expecting a big move in one direction or the other. It could also mean there is an event coming up soon that may cause a big rally or a huge sell-off. However, implied volatility is only one piece of the puzzle when putting together an options trading strategy.
<h3>What do the Analysts Think?</h3>
Clearly, options traders are pricing in a big move for Consolidated Edison shares, but what is the fundamental picture for the company? Currently, Consolidated Edison is a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy) in the Utility - Electric Power industry that ranks in the Top 29% of our Zacks Industry Rank. Over the last 60 days, no analysts have increased their earnings estimates for the current quarter, while one analyst has revised the estimate downward. The net effect has taken our Zacks Consensus Estimate for the current quarter from earnings of 57 cents per share to 55 cents in that period. 
Given the way analysts feel about Consolidated Edison right now, this huge implied volatility could mean there&#39;s a trade developing. Oftentimes, options traders look for options with high levels of implied volatility to sell premium. This is a strategy many seasoned traders use because it captures decay. At expiration, the hope for these traders is that the underlying stock does not move as much as originally expected.

Dividend stocks provide reliable income streams, favorable tax rates, stability during economic downturns, and the potential for long-term portfolio growth. In this context, retirees may want to consider dividend-paying stocks like Coca-Cola (KO), Consolidated Edison (ED), and T. Rowe Price Group (TROW). Keep reading... Dividend stocks provide a reliable income stream essential for retirees seeking steady cash flow. Taxed at lower rates than ordinary income, they help reduce overall tax liability. With regular payments and the potential for growing dividends, companies with a consistent dividend history often demonstrate greater stability and resilience during economic downturns.
Therefore, retirees seeking consistent income might consider quality dividend stocks such as The Coca-Cola Company (<a href="https://stocknews.com/stock/KO/">KO</a>), Consolidated Edison, Inc. (<a href="https://stocknews.com/stock/ED/">ED</a>), and T. Rowe Price Group, Inc. (<a href="https://stocknews.com/stock/TROW/">TROW</a>).
Rising Middle East tensions and uncertainty over rate cuts are increasing demand for safe-haven assets like the U.S. dollar, highlighting geopolitical risks. In this environment, dividend stocks stand out for their resilience during market fluctuations, offering a reliable cushion against potential losses and a strong potential for long-term portfolio growth.
On the other hand, strong U.S. jobs data reveals the largest jump in nonfarm payrolls in six months, along with a lower unemployment rate and robust wage growth. The U.S. 10-year Treasury yield surpassed 4%, boosting market sentiment. Meanwhile, the Federal Reserve is anticipated to cut interest rates by <a href="https://www.reuters.com/markets/currencies/dollar-roll-after-us-jobs-data-middle-east-flare-up-2024-10-07/">25 basis points</a>, potentially providing further economic support.
Hence, dividend stocks across sectors like beverages, utilities, and asset management offer portfolio diversification while reinvesting dividends can compound returns, providing retirees with enhanced long-term financial security. Considering these conducive trends, let's analyze the fundamental aspects of the three dividend picks.
