Tesla, Berkshire Hathaway, Eaton, Ford Motor, and Pacific Gas & Electric are the five Utility stocks to watch today, according to MarketBeat's stock screener tool. Utility stocks are shares of companies that provide essential public services—such as electricity, natural gas, water and sewage, or telecommunications—often within regulated or semi‐regulated markets. Because these firms enjoy relatively predictable demand and revenue streams, they tend to pay steady dividends and exhibit lower price volatility. As a result, utility stocks are commonly viewed as defensive holdings in a diversified investment portfolio. These companies had the highest dollar trading volume of any Utility stocks within the last several days.
