Tesla, Berkshire Hathaway, and Ford Motor are the three 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, water, natural gas and telecommunications—to consumers and businesses. Because demand for these services tends to remain steady regardless of economic conditions, utility stocks often offer more stable share prices and attractive dividend yields. Investors typically view them as defensive holdings that can help cushion a portfolio during market downturns. These companies had the highest dollar trading volume of any Utility stocks within the last several days.
