Exelon Corporation - EXC

Exelon Corporation, stock ticker EXC, is a utility services holding company. It operates through its principal subsidiaries: Exelon Generation Company, LLC (Generation), Commonwealth Edison Company (ComEd) and PECO Energy Company (PECO). Its business consists of the Company’s owned and contracted electric generating facilities, its wholesale energy marketing operations and its retail supply operations. EXC pays a quarterly dividend of $0.52 and at today's stock price that's a dividend yield of 4.89%. That's awesome! Also, they have said they plan to invest $5 billion in clean energy over the next 5 years. Exelon is very popular in my area via PECO Energy. Who likes paying their electric bill each month? Yeah, me neither, but at least they pay shareholders to hold onto their stock! EXC has issued a dividend since Feburary 23th, 1987 and have consistantly increased their payout since February 18th, 1999.

EXC is yet another buy and hold stock, meaning this company will always be around and should be included within your diversified Roth IRA stock portfolio. Click here to learn more about this dividend aristocrat, as well as watch this video.
