NuScale Power, CocaCola, and Ecolab are the three Water stocks to watch today, according to MarketBeat's stock screener tool. Water stocks are shares of companies whose primary business is providing, treating, transporting or otherwise enabling the use of water—this includes municipal and private water utilities, infrastructure and pipe manufacturers, filtration and desalination technology firms, and bottled/packaged water producers. Investors treat them as a defensive, long-term thematic play tied to essential resource demand and sustainability, often offering stable cash flows and ESG appeal but carrying regulatory, geographic and capital-intensity risks. These companies had the highest dollar trading volume of any Water stocks within the last several days.
