Promising Utility Stocks To Watch Today – July 5th

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, natural gas, water or telecommunications—and operate under regulated frameworks. Because demand for these services remains relatively stable, utility firms often generate predictable cash flows and pay higher-than-average dividends. As a result, utility stocks are viewed as defensive investments that tend to exhibit lower volatility. These companies had the highest dollar trading volume of any Utility stocks within the last several days.
