Citi strategists identified a dozen stocks with strong fundamentals, solid earnings momentum, and low “crowding” scores—meaning they aren’t yet overbought. Among the least crowded are Danaher , Quanta Services , Kinetik Holdings , and Evergy .
Evergy stands out with the lowest crowding score at 22%. The Kansas-based utility recently raised its servicing rates, which should lift its return on equity to 9.4% this year. Analysts forecast around 9% annual earnings growth through 2027, supported by expanding clean-energy investments and steady regulatory returns in Kansas and Missouri.
Trading at 18.2x forward earnings—below the utilities sector average—Evergy also offers a 3.5% dividend yield, positioning it for potential double-digit total annual returns with lower volatility than the broader market.
