Rocket Lab, Archer Aviation, and Boeing are the three Defense stocks to watch today, according to MarketBeat's stock screener tool. Defense stocks are shares of companies whose primary business is supplying military and national security goods and services—such as weapons, aircraft, ships, cybersecurity, and defense systems—to governments and armed forces. Investors often view them as relatively stable because revenue is frequently tied to long-term government contracts and defense budgets, though their performance is sensitive to geopolitical events and changes in defense spending. These companies had the highest dollar trading volume of any Defense stocks within the last several days.
