Can Integrys Play with the Big Boys?


Integrys took a mighty fall in the last year as the market in general and energy related issues came under fire.

What will TEG do about this situation? First of all, TEG has been there before. As WPS, it also took a mighty fall to the point where investors came back recognizing a value play in this company as well as a nice dividend.

This time is a little different. TEG got involved in the energy market. It was not a good match. Once a Company that could be relied on for steady earnings, fell victim to the whipsaws of energy.

How did the Company attempt to get back on a steady keel? It dumped the energy related businesses and assured shareholders that the Company will be steady as you go in the future.

This still remains to be seen but one can't but help but think that the Company can quickly see things going wrong and take steps to remain the profitable entity we have come to expect.

I forgot to add that WPS stands for Wisconsin Public Service.
