PPL's yield is huge in the utility space -- here's why you might want to consider the stock anyway. PPL Corporation ( NYSE:PPL ) has a dividend yield of 5.8%, relatively high when you compare it to fellow utility companies like Southern Company ( NYSE:SO ) and Duke Energy ( NYSE:DUK ) , which sport yields of 5% and 4.7%, respectively. That higher yield should make you question PPL as an investment...but once you find out what's going on here, you'll probably be pleased to jump aboard this high-yielding utility. A differentiated model PPL is somewhat unique in the utility space in that it operates in the both the United States and the United Kingdom. Pennsylvania makes up around 26% of its rate base, Kentucky 36%, and the U.K. 38%. In a nutshell, the material foreign exposure is one of two big reasons why investors are concerned about PPL's business, demanding a yield premium over peers. Image source: Getty Images.
