Boeing, Rocket Lab, and Lockheed Martin 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 and support military equipment, weapon systems and related technologies for government customers. Because these firms typically operate under long-term government contracts and benefit from steady defense budgets, their revenues and cash flows tend to be more predictable than those of purely commercial businesses. As a result, investors often view defense stocks as a way to gain exposure to stable income streams and potential upside from geopolitical or policy‐driven spending increases. These companies had the highest dollar trading volume of any Defense stocks within the last several days.
