CF Industries, Linde, and Caterpillar are the three Industrial stocks to watch today, according to MarketBeat's stock screener tool. Industrial stocks are shares of companies that make or service the capital goods and infrastructure used in manufacturing, construction, transportation, defense and related sectors—examples include makers of heavy machinery, aerospace firms, industrial suppliers and contract manufacturers. For investors, they offer cyclical exposure tied to economic growth and business investment, so their performance often rises with expanding capital spending and falls during economic slowdowns.
