Tesla, Berkshire Hathaway, Eaton, Quanta Services, Ford Motor, Southern, and MasTec are the seven 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 treatment—under regulated frameworks. Because these services are always in demand and rates are often set or approved by government agencies, utility stocks tend to offer relatively stable revenues and consistent dividend payouts. Investors typically view them as lower-risk, income-generating holdings in a diversified portfolio. These companies had the highest dollar trading volume of any Utility stocks within the last several days.
