dabum: here's more from that call... the CEO said, "So what we've done in the past, we have a more traditional payout strategy for the utilities, 65% to 70%. And that resonates well as we benchmark to other regulated entities. On the growth side for the competitive part of the integrated, we have tried to benchmark more of the yield and keep track with the sector and the yield. Now since we've got a little bit more damage with the gas and our concentration in NiHub, our yield is 5.9%, last time I looked at it where the others are probably 1% lower, if not more. So we're outpacing the yield. But if something structurally change there and you're dealing with a 90% payout on a dividend for a long run and we have to question if we're getting value. You don't want to live on the edge." ------------ FWIW: I calculate the current payout ratio at 87% ± which is what triggered my initial thoughts of revisiting my long term analysis of EXC. I'm not going to sell tomorrow, but sometime in the next few weeks.
