CenterPoint Energy is a multi-utilities name in the utilities sector. Over the past year it returned +9.5%, against -4.4% over three months and -5.4% over one. It sits 1.9% below its 200-day average, close enough that the trend is genuinely undecided. Annualized volatility of 16.7% is moderate by single-stock standards.

Its worst peak-to-trough decline over the year was -11.1%, and it has traded a median $262M a day — the figure that decides whether a position can actually be entered and exited at posted prices. Its daily moves correlate -0.12 with the S&P 500 proxy, so it has been moving substantially on its own.
