Tesla, UnitedHealth Group, and Berkshire Hathaway are the three Insurance stocks to watch today, according to MarketBeat's stock screener tool. Insurance stocks are shares of publicly traded companies whose primary business is underwriting insurance policies—such as life, health, property, and casualty—and investing the premiums they collect. Their financial performance depends both on underwriting results (premiums versus claims and operating costs) and on investment income from the assets they hold. Investors in insurance stocks often look at metrics like loss ratios, combined ratios and interest-rate sensitivity to gauge profitability and risk. These companies had the highest dollar trading volume of any Insurance stocks within the last several days.
