Sector context

Applied to regulated electric, gas, and water utilities. COGS captures fuel and purchased power; rates are set by regulators with an allowed return on capital, so Markup is bounded by regulation rather than competition. The interesting indicators in this sector are Labor Share (workforce concentration) and Shareholder Extraction (regulated dividends vs grid investment).

Captures gross extraction per dollar of input. A markup ratio of 5.0 means the company collects $5 in revenue for every $1 of cost-of-goods.
