20 Mar 2026, 19:08 by Danessa Lincoln · The Markets Daily

Quanta Services, AutoZone, American Electric Power, Ford Motor, and MasTec are the five Utility stocks to watch today, according to MarketBeat’s stock screener tool. In investing, utility stocks are shares of companies that provide essential public services such as electricity, natural gas, water and sewer (and often local electricity or renewable generation). They typically have regulated, stable cash flows and pay relatively high dividends, making them attractive to income-seeking and defensive investors, though they usually offer slower growth and can be sensitive to interest-rate changes. These companies had the highest dollar trading volume of any Utility stocks within the last several days.
