Uber Technologies, Costco Wholesale, Berkshire Hathaway, Walmart, and PepsiCo are the five Grocery stocks to watch today, according to MarketBeat's stock screener tool. Grocery stocks are shares of publicly traded companies that operate supermarkets, food wholesalers and related distribution networks. Because demand for food and household staples remains relatively stable even in downturns, grocery stocks are often viewed as defensive investments. Investors in this sector typically look for steady dividends and modest, reliable growth rather than rapid capital appreciation. These companies had the highest dollar trading volume of any Grocery stocks within the last several days.
