CocaCola, NuScale Power, Ecolab, Core & Main, and IDEXX Laboratories are the five Water stocks to watch today, according to MarketBeat's stock screener tool. Water stocks are shares of companies involved in the water sector—ranging from utilities that treat and distribute potable water to firms building and maintaining water infrastructure or supplying water-treatment technologies. Because water demand is relatively inelastic and driven by essential needs, these companies often deliver stable revenues and cash flows. Investors view water stocks as defensive holdings that can help preserve capital and generate steady returns over economic cycles.
