Rocket Lab, GE Aerospace, Boeing, RTX, and Intuitive Machines are the five Defense stocks to watch today, according to MarketBeat's stock screener tool. Defense stocks are shares of companies that design, manufacture, and supply military equipment, aerospace systems, defense electronics, cybersecurity, and related services to governments and armed forces. Investors often view them as relatively defensive because revenues are tied to government defense budgets and long-term contracts, which can provide more predictable cash flow and dividends. However, their performance is also sensitive to geopolitical events, policy changes, and regulatory scrutiny. These companies had the highest dollar trading volume of any Defense stocks within the last several days.
