Sector direction in July
Utilities declined across the month. The pullback was broad enough to define sector performance for the period, though individual results scattered widely around that negative headline.
Constellation Energy and Alliant Energy split the range
Constellation Energy's advance placed it at the top of the sector for July. The gain ran counter to the sector's overall direction, making the company the standout name in an otherwise negative tape.
Alliant Energy moved the other way. The company posted the largest loss in the sector, sitting at the bottom of the July rankings across utilities.
