Key Points

  • MarketBeat's screener names Alibaba (BABA), Coinbase (COIN) and IBM (IBM) as the three Infrastructure stocks to watch, each posting the highest dollar trading volume among Infrastructure names in recent days.
  • Infrastructure stocks are typically defensive, income-oriented holdings that offer steady cash flows and dividends but are sensitive to government spending, long-term contracts and regulation.
  • The three companies cover different infrastructure roles: Alibaba (commerce, cloud and logistics in China), Coinbase (crypto financial accounts and marketplace), and IBM (enterprise hybrid cloud and AI platforms and services).
  • Five stocks we like better than Alibaba Group.

Alibaba Group, Coinbase Global, and International Business Machines are the three Infrastructure stocks to watch today, according to MarketBeat's stock screener tool. Infrastructure stocks are shares of companies that build, operate, or maintain the physical systems and services an economy needs—such as roads, bridges, airports, utilities, telecommunications networks, energy pipelines, and public transit. For investors, these stocks often provide steady cash flows and dividend income and can serve as defensive, income-oriented holdings, while being influenced by government spending, long-term contracts, regulation, and economic cycles. These companies had the highest dollar trading volume of any Infrastructure stocks within the last several days.
