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 service military and national-security equipment and services—including aerospace, weapons, shipbuilding, cybersecurity and government defense contractors. Investors often treat them as defensive holdings because long-term government contracts and steady defense spending can make their revenues less cyclical than the broader market, though they remain exposed to political decisions, budget changes and geopolitical events. These companies had the highest dollar trading volume of any Defense stocks within the last several days.
