Tesla, UnitedHealth Group, Intuit, Berkshire Hathaway, and Copart are the five 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 or casualty—and investing the premiums they collect. Investors in insurance stocks gain exposure to underwriting performance, investment returns on the insurer’s float (the pool of collected but not yet paid‐out premiums) and the impact of factors like interest rates, claim frequency and catastrophic losses. These companies had the highest dollar trading volume of any Insurance stocks within the last several days.
