Tesla, UnitedHealth Group, Centene, Berkshire Hathaway, and Elevance Health are the five Insurance stocks to watch today, according to MarketBeat's stock screener tool. Insurance stocks are shares of publicly traded companies that underwrite and sell insurance policies, such as life, health, property or casualty coverage. Investors in these stocks gain exposure to the insurer’s premium‐income streams, investment returns on the reserves (“float”) and underwriting performance. Because insurance companies balance risk assessment and investment management, their stock performance often reflects both claim trends and broader market conditions. These companies had the highest dollar trading volume of any Insurance stocks within the last several days.
