Promising Defense Stocks To Watch Today - July 20th

GE Aerospace, Rocket Lab, and Citigroup are the three Defense stocks to watch today, according to MarketBeat's stock screener tool. Defense stocks are shares of publicly traded companies whose primary business is the design, manufacture, and support of military equipment, weapons systems, and defense-related technologies for government clients. They typically benefit from long-term contracts and steady revenue streams tied to national security budgets. Because their fortunes are closely linked to defense spending and geopolitical events, these stocks can be more resilient in downturns but also sensitive to shifts in policy or international tensions. These companies had the highest dollar trading volume of any Defense stocks within the last several days.
