Boeing, Rocket Lab, Corning, BigBear.ai, and Citigroup 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 support military and national security products—ranging from fighter jets and armored vehicles to cybersecurity systems. Because governments tend to fund defense spending steadily, especially during geopolitical tensions, these equities often exhibit lower sensitivity to economic downturns and can serve as a defensive hedge in an investment portfolio.
