Ford Motor, Berkshire Hathaway, and AutoZone are the three Utility stocks to watch today, according to MarketBeat's stock screener tool. Utility stocks are shares of companies that provide essential, regulated public services—such as electricity, natural gas, water, and sometimes broadband—and often operate as local monopolies. Investors typically favor them for steady dividend income and lower price volatility, though they usually exhibit slower growth and can be sensitive to interest-rate changes and regulatory risk.
