Defense stocks are shares of publicly traded companies that develop, manufacture, or support military and national-security-related products and services—such as weapons systems, aircraft, naval vessels, cybersecurity, and other defense contracting. Investors often view them as relatively stable holdings because sales are frequently backed by government defense budgets and long-term contracts, making them less sensitive to regular economic cycles.
