Rocket Lab, GE Aerospace, and Boeing 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 military equipment, weapons systems, aerospace platforms, cybersecurity, and related services to governments and allied organizations. Investors often view them as relatively stable because long-term government contracts and sustained defense budgets can produce steadier revenues than cyclical industries, though they remain exposed to political and budgetary risks. Note: "defense stocks" are distinct from "defensive stocks," which are firms whose sales hold up well during economic downturns. These companies had the highest dollar trading volume of any Defense stocks within the last several days.
