Tesla, Berkshire Hathaway, Ford Motor, Eaton, and AutoZone 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 sometimes telecommunications—typically operating in highly regulated markets. Because demand for these services is relatively stable regardless of economic conditions, utility stocks are often viewed as defensive investments that offer steady dividends but modest growth potential. These companies had the highest dollar trading volume of any Utility stocks within the last several days.
