Tesla, Berkshire Hathaway, and Ford Motor are the three 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—often under government regulation. Because these firms generate predictable cash flows and face limited competition, their stocks typically pay steady dividends and exhibit lower price volatility. Investors seeking income and capital preservation frequently include utility stocks as defensive holdings in their portfolios. These companies had the highest dollar trading volume of any Utility stocks within the last several days.
