Rocket Lab, Boeing, GE Aerospace, Ondas, Howmet Aerospace, AeroVironment, and Honeywell Aerospace are the seven Defense stocks to watch today, according to MarketBeat's stock screener tool. Defense stocks are shares of companies that provide products or services to the military and national-security sectors, such as weapons, aircraft, cybersecurity, communications systems, and defense technology. Investors often view these stocks as potentially resilient because government defense spending can remain relatively stable or increase during periods of geopolitical tension, though they still carry risks related to contracts, regulation, budgets, and political changes. These companies had the highest dollar trading volume of any Defense stocks within the last several days.
