• MarketBeat notes a defense ETF could keep rallying if the Iran conflict escalates, highlighting geopolitics as a potential near-term catalyst for the sector.

Boeing, Rocket Lab, and GE Aerospace are the three Defense stocks to watch today, according to MarketBeat's stock screener tool. Defense stocks are shares of companies that design, manufacture, or provide equipment, technology, and services for military and national security purposes — including aerospace and defense contractors, weapons makers, cybersecurity firms, and suppliers of military logistics and support. Investors often view these stocks as relatively resilient during economic downturns because they rely on long-term government contracts and steady defense spending, though they remain exposed to geopolitical risk, budget cycles, and regulatory scrutiny.
