Boeing, GE Aerospace, and Rocket Lab 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 services and technology for military, homeland security, and other government defense needs—examples include aerospace and weapons manufacturers, defense contractors, and cybersecurity firms serving government clients. Investors consider them “defensive” because government defense spending tends to be more stable and less cyclical than consumer demand, which can lead to steadier cash flows and lower volatility, though they remain exposed to geopolitical events and policy shifts. These companies had the highest dollar trading volume of any Defense stocks within the last several days.
