Shares of ITC Holdings Corp. (ITC, Financial), the nation’s largest independent transmission company, fell in the second quarter along with most of the utility sector over interest rate concerns. Company-specific issues, including a potential regulatory cut to the allowed return on equity and questions around ITC’s ability to execute on the development portion of its five-year capital expenditure plan, also weighed on the stock. We continue to hold the stock as we believe ITC has robust growth prospects and will execute on its growth strategy and capital expenditure plan. (Rebecca Ellin)
