On CAPS, 95% of the 673 members who have rated Con Edison believe the stock will outperform the S&P 500 going forward.
Just yesterday, one of those bulls, fellow Fool Justin Loiseau (TMFJLo), tapped the stock as a particularly solid bargain opportunity: "Con Ed has been hit hard, and its stock price reflects Mr. Market's disappointment in its latest offerings. But after examining the company's gross/operating margins and spending decisions, I think Con Ed's got more to give than Wall Street expects."
If you want market-thumping returns, you need to put together the best portfolio you can. Of course, despite a strong four-star rating, Con Edison may not be your top choice.
