Best Defense Stocks To Consider – February 25th

RTX, GE Aerospace, and Lockheed Martin are the three Defense stocks to watch today, according to MarketBeat’s stock screener tool. Defense stocks are shares of companies that develop, manufacture, or provide military, aerospace, homeland security and defense-related products and services—such as weapons systems, aircraft, ships, electronics, and cybersecurity. Investors often view them as relatively defensive because government defense spending is typically more stable than consumer-driven demand, giving these firms more predictable cash flows and long-term contracts. They still carry risks tied to political decisions, budget shifts, and changing geopolitical conditions. These companies had the highest dollar trading volume of any Defense stocks within the last several days.
