GE Aerospace, Rocket Lab, and RTX 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 services and technology for military and national security—including defense contractors, aerospace firms, cybersecurity providers, and logistics companies that rely heavily on government defense spending. Investors treat them as exposure to government-backed, often recurring contracts that can offer revenue stability and growth tied to geopolitical and budgetary trends, while bearing industry-specific risks and regulatory scrutiny.
