Utility stocks are shares of companies that provide essential public services—such as electricity, natural gas, water and sewage—and whose prices and dividends are often regulated by government agencies. Because demand for these services is stable and predictable, utility stocks typically offer reliable, above-average dividend payouts and lower price volatility. Investors seeking steady income and capital preservation often include utility stocks in their portfolios. These companies had the highest dollar trading volume of any Utility stocks within the last several days.
