The utilities sector this month remains under pressure, weighed down by heightened safety concerns and regulatory scrutiny following the Chernobyl nuclear disaster, which has cast a shadow over nuclear energy investments globally. Despite this, broader utility demand and grid resilience planning have held steady, preventing deeper declines and anchoring the sector near neutral. The initial market overreaction has so far been offset by consistent performance in non-nuclear utility operations.
