Rocket Lab, RTX, 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 provide services for military and national-security purposes—such as weapons, aircraft, ships, intelligence and cybersecurity systems, and government contracting services. Investors treat them as tied to defense budgets and geopolitical developments, which can provide revenue stability from long-term contracts but also expose the stocks to policy shifts, export controls, and fluctuations in conflict-driven demand. These companies had the highest dollar trading volume of any Defense stocks within the last several days.
