Also in the Utilities sector, NRG Energy (NYSE:NRG) was a solid contributor during the quarter. The power company engages in the production, sale, and distribution of energy and energy services. The company announced earnings that were in-line with analyst expectations and also announced it was cutting its dividend to expedite its deleveraging process. While we did not believe that cutting the dividend was necessary, doing so provided comfort to investors that management was serious about balance sheet improvement. We believe the stock is attractively priced.
