Defense Stocks Worth Watching – April 12th

Rocket Lab, GE Aerospace, and Boeing are the three Defense stocks to watch today, according to MarketBeat’s stock screener tool. Defense stocks are shares of companies that make military equipment, aerospace systems, intelligence and cybersecurity services, or other goods and services sold primarily to governments and armed forces. Investors view them as defensive because government defense spending tends to be more stable through economic cycles and during geopolitical uncertainty, which can reduce volatility, although these stocks remain exposed to policy, procurement and regulatory risks. These companies had the highest dollar trading volume of any Defense stocks within the last several days.
