Tesla, Berkshire Hathaway, Ford Motor, Quanta Services, and Southern 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, water, natural gas and telecommunications. Because these services are always in demand and revenues tend to be stable, utility stocks are often viewed as lower-risk investments that offer steady dividends. However, their growth potential may be more limited compared to companies in rapidly expanding sectors. These companies had the highest dollar trading volume of any Utility stocks within the last several days.
