Sempra Energy (NYSE: SRE) is the latest blue chip utility on our long-term target list to slip back to a buying range. This month, we’re adding the stock to the Conservative Holdings.
Sempra’s business strengths are legion. On March 9, the company succeeded where Warren Buffett failed, closing on the former Texas Utilities’ regulated electricity transmission and distribution assets. The deal brought its regulated global utility customer base to over 43 million, including San Diego G&E, Southern California Gas and 6 million users in Chile and Peru.
