Boeing, ON Semiconductor, BigBear.ai, Citigroup, and GE Aerospace are the five Defense stocks to watch today, according to MarketBeat's stock screener tool. Defense stocks are shares of publicly traded companies that develop, manufacture, and supply military hardware, defense systems, cybersecurity solutions, and related services to governments. Because these firms often operate under long‐term government contracts and benefit from steady defense budgets, their revenues tend to be more predictable than those of purely commercial companies. However, their share prices can be sensitive to geopolitical tensions, regulatory changes, and shifts in national security policies. These companies had the highest dollar trading volume of any Defense stocks within the last several days.
