Other companies didn’t do quite as well over the last year but could see their fortunes change in the coming years. Windstream Corporation (NASDAQ:WIN) shed 4% and yields more than 11%! It has been known as a rural telecom company, but has been shifting its focus more toward broadband service and business customers. Its investments in new revenue streams may ultimately pay off, but it remains significantly a landline company. It has been generating solid free cash flow. It reports its earnings on Thursday, and some wonder whether a dividend cut is around the corner.

The big picture
Demand for utilities isn’t going away anytime soon. A well-chosen ETF can grant you instant diversification across any industry or group of companies — and make investing in and profiting from it that much easier.
