Sector teams with the most active deal flow in down markets AKA unlikely to get hit by layoffs

The tech bubble has burst, IPO highs are a thing of the past, levfin is down with no one touching high yield debt, rising rates, inflation in the 9's - which sectors are the most active with real deal flow? I'm guessing RX folks are gearing up for a mad season ahead, FIG is typically busy during recessions etc

P&U, everyone uses electricity + stable dividend.

Also, utilities are regulated by state commissions and all costs are flow through to customers

Authorized ROEs fluctuate with the policy yield - the higher the policy rate is, the higher authorized ROEs (the return you are granted by commissions) are going to be.

In short - stable income through dividends, low risk with profitability downside protected.
