Defense Stocks

Defense stocks are shares of publicly traded companies that are involved in the production of military equipment, weapons systems, and other defense-related technologies and services. These companies may manufacture everything from aircraft and ships to missiles and cybersecurity solutions. The performance of defense stocks is often influenced by government defense budgets, geopolitical events, and military conflicts, as increased defense spending can lead to higher revenues for these companies. Investors may look at defense stocks as a way to diversify their portfolios or capitalize on periods of heightened military activity or national security concerns.
