Chesapeake Utilities: Good Growth Prospects, But Very Richly Valued

  • Chesapeake Utilities Corporation is primarily a natural gas utility with significant operations in Delaware, Maryland, Florida, Pennsylvania, and Ohio, and a smaller electric footprint in Florida. Despite a lower yield compared to peers, Chesapeake Utilities has delivered a 235.88% total return over the past decade, outperforming its competitors. The company's growth is driven by Florida's rapid population increase and the development of data centers in Ohio, which may boost natural gas demand.
