Tesla, Berkshire Hathaway, Ford Motor, Rivian Automotive, and Southern are the five 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, gas, water and sometimes telecommunications. Because these firms operate in heavily regulated markets with relatively stable demand, they typically generate predictable cash flows and pay steady dividends. Investors often view utility stocks as a defensive play, since their revenues are less sensitive to economic cycles than those of companies in more cyclical industries. These companies had the highest dollar trading volume of any Utility stocks within the last several days.
