Tesla, Berkshire Hathaway, Ford Motor, PG&E, and Eaton 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, natural gas, water and sewage treatment—whose operations and rates are often regulated by government agencies. Because demand for these services is relatively stable, utility stocks tend to generate predictable cash flows and pay consistent dividends. Their defensive nature and lower volatility make them popular for investors seeking steady income, though their growth prospects are typically more modest than those of higher-risk sectors. These companies had the highest dollar trading volume of any Utility stocks within the last several days.
