Discover Real Value in Dominion

"Innovative, smart, down to Earth and stable." That's Dominion's personality, a research firm recently concluded. And there are many factors -- like a strong management team, excellent business plan and good financials -- that make us a premier investment.

To better spread the word, Dominion is reaching deep into the heart of Wall Street with a new advertising campaign. The campaign is aimed at putting "D" -- the New York Stock Exchange symbol for Dominion -- right under the noses of institutional investors, analysts, financial media and active individual investors.

"Have you seen D today?"

This phrase is the heart of four advertisements appearing in Investor’s Business Daily, The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, Barron’s, BusinessWeek, Forbes and Fortune. Each offers a significant financial point about Dominion. Below (in bold) is the text from each ad, along with some details and links.

  • "Find out more about the energy company that delivered 60 percent total shareholder return over the past three years." (View the ad.)

    Despite a time of economic uncertainty, accounting scandals and a resulting loss of faith by investors, Dominion shareholders fared better than those of most companies. As outlined in our 2002 Annual Report letter to shareholders, our operating earnings per share* last year were up 60 percent since our merger with Consolidated Natural Gas in early 2000. Following the CNG merger, we delivered a 3-year total return (share price appreciation plus dividend) of more than 60 percent.

  • "Find out more about the energy company that is the largest BTU provider in the Northeast." (View the ad.)

    Sometimes size matters. Dominion is a major provider of electricity and natural gas in the Northeast -- bigger than anyone when you combine the energy content of both as measured by BTUs, or British thermal units. That matters because energy forms are increasingly interchangeable in the marketplace and being big in both provides lots of opportunities. Details and charts about Dominion's energy assets are in our 2002 Annual Report letter to shareholders.

  • "Find out more about the energy company that has paid 300 consecutive dividends since 1925." (View the ad.)

    Dominion has paid holders of common stock dividends for more than 77 consecutive years. It's a record we are proud of, especially at time when many other companies have had to eliminate or sharply reduce their dvidends. Learn more through links on our Shareholders page or view our 2002 Annual Report.


  • "Find out more about the energy company that outperformed the S&P 500 Index by 98 percent over the last three years." (View the ad.)

    While the stock market in general struggled over the last three years, Dominion's shares performed quite well. We outperformed the Dow Jones Utilities Index and S&P indexes tracking the natural gas and power industries in each of the last three years. To learn how we did it, see our 2002 Annual Report letter to shareholders.
