Defensive stocks are having their day in the sun as the broader market plunges.

隨着大盤暴跌,防禦性股票正處於陽光下。

Utilities stocks were bucking the downdraft Tuesday, with the leading utility exchange-traded fund hitting a new 52-week high. Other traditionally defensive groups, such as consumer and telecom stocks, as well as real-estate investment trusts, were holding up better than the overall market, too.

公用事業類股週二逆勢上揚,主要的公用事業交易所交易基金(ETF)觸及52周新高。其他傳統上具有防禦性的板塊,如消費和電信類股,以及房地產投資信託基金,也表現得好於整體市場。

The Dow Jones Industrial Average was off 638 points, or 2.5%, at midafternoon to 25,188 while the S&P 500 index was down 67 points, or 2.4%, to 2,723.

道瓊斯工業股票平均價格指數(Dow Jones Industrial Average)下午三點左右下跌638點,至25,188點,跌幅2.5%;標準普爾500指數(S&P500)下跌67點,跌幅2.4%,至2,723點。

The Utilities Select Sector SPDR ETF (ticker: XLU) has risen 38 cents to $56.53 after hitting a new 52-week high of $56.81, leaving it up 10% so far this year. Among leading electric utilities, NextEra Energy (NEE) has risen 96 cents to $183.45 after hitting a new 52-week high earlier Tuesday. Duke Energy (DUK) rose 85 cents to $90.47 after also reaching a new 52-week high.

公用事業精選行業SPDR ETF(股票代碼:XLU)上漲38美分,至56.53美元,此前創下56.81美元的52周新高,今年迄今已上漲10%。在領先的電力公用事業公司中,NextEra Energy上漲96美分,至183.45美元,週二早些時候創下52周新高。杜克能源公司(Duke Energy)股價上漲85美分,至90.47美元,此前該公司股價也創下52周新高。

With their regulated businesses and returns, as well as above-market dividend yields, utilities are a traditional haven in rocky markets. The Utilities Select Sector SPDR ETF yields 3.2%, against about 2% for the S&P 500.

由於其受監管的業務和回報,以及高於市場的股息收益率,公用事業公司是動盪市場中的傳統避風港。公用事業選擇部門SPDR ETF的收益率為3.2%,而標準普爾500指數的收益率約為2%。

Utilities, however, aren't cheap now. Duke trades for 19 times projected 2018 earnings and NextEra commands 23 times.

然而,公用事業現在並不便宜。杜克大學的市盈率為19倍,NextEra的市盈率為23倍。

Verizon Communications (VZ), which lately has gained when the overall market has struggled, was doing that again Tuesday. The stock was up 17 cents to $58.33.

威瑞森通信公司(Verizon Communications)週二再次這麼做,該公司最近在整體市場陷入困境的情況下上漲。該股上漲17美分,至58.33美元。

The Consumer Staples Select SPDR ETF (XLE) fell 48 cents to $55.83 and the Vanguard Real Estate ETF (VNQ) declined 71 cents to $81.71. Both declines were less than 1% -- better performances than the overall market. Reflecting the relative strength in consumer stocks, Coca-Cola (KO) was up 12 cents to $49.82.

Consumer Staples Select SPDR ETF(XLE)下跌48美分,至55.83美元,先鋒房地產ETF(VNQ)下跌71美分,至81.71美元。這兩個跌幅都不到1%--表現好於整體市場。可口可樂(Coca-Cola)上漲12美分,至49.82美元,反映出消費類股的相對強勢。
