Top Defense Stocks To Follow Today – October 24th

Boeing, Rocket Lab, and GE Aerospace 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 support military and national-security products and services—such as weapons systems, aircraft, naval vessels, satellites, defense electronics, and cybersecurity—typically sold to governments and prime contractors. Investors often view them as relatively defensive because steady government defense budgets and long-term contracts can provide more stable revenues in downturns, though performance is still affected by politics, budget cycles, and geopolitical events. These companies had the highest dollar trading volume of any Defense stocks within the last several days.
