Trading in-line with the utility sector, Sempra's higher growth potential makes it a BUY, but I recommend starting small and adding on dips. While Sempra has outperformed the broad Utility Sector over the past three years, my advise is for investors to maintain a larger allocation to the S&P 500 for better growth exposure.
