I you were to buy today, which one would you choose? FTS or CPX

I want to add an utilities in my RRSP for long term stability, cash flow. FTS is having a great run this year compare to CPX. But looking back 1Y, 3Y, 5Y and since 2010, CPX is the winner in share appreciation and total returns. CPX had worst drawdowns with the biggest at -42% vs -23% for FTS.

Thank you for your thoughts!

This is all investor preference really. Capital Power has been helped recently due to the expansion of the data centers here in Alberta and the power supply they will bring to them. I do believe Capital Power will ultimately have more upside, but also more risk if deals don't come to fruition.

I think both are outstanding utility options. Fortis being the low beta/reliable utility that relies pretty much solely on regulated utilities where Capital Power has a lot more room for growth, but growth that could not come to fruition. We've seen this recently in its price and how volatile it has been depending on the commentary of the data center buildouts.
