Boeing, Rocket Lab, GE Aerospace, Archer Aviation, Lockheed Martin, RTX, and L3Harris Technologies are the seven 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 needs—such as weapons systems, aircraft, ships, cybersecurity, and defense-related services—often under government contracts. Investors call them “defensive” because steady, government-backed spending can produce more predictable revenues and lower sensitivity to economic cycles, making them useful for risk diversification and income stability. These companies had the highest dollar trading volume of any Defense stocks within the last several days.
