Defense Stocks Worth Watching – February 11th

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 publicly traded companies that design, manufacture, or provide services for military and homeland security needs—such as weapons systems, aircraft, satellites, cybersecurity, and logistics for government clients. Investors often view them as relatively defensive because they can deliver steady revenue from long-term government contracts, though returns are influenced by defense budgets, geopolitical tensions, and regulatory or political risk. These companies had the highest dollar trading volume of any Defense stocks within the last several days.
