CocaCola, NuScale Power, and IDEXX Laboratories are the three Water stocks to watch today, according to MarketBeat's stock screener tool. "Water stocks" are shares of companies whose core businesses are tied to the collection, treatment, distribution, storage, infrastructure, or technology for freshwater and wastewater—this includes utilities, pipe and pump manufacturers, treatment-chemical and filtration companies, meter and sensor makers, and even bottled-water firms. Investors treat them as a thematic or defensive play on increasing global water demand and scarcity, while noting sector-specific risks such as heavy regulation, regional water-rights issues, and capital-intensive projects. These companies had the highest dollar trading volume of any Water stocks within the last several days.
