Boeing, Rocket Lab, and Lockheed Martin are the three Defense stocks to watch today, according to MarketBeat’s stock screener tool. Defense stocks are shares of companies that produce military equipment, aerospace systems, cybersecurity, and other goods or services sold primarily to governments and defense contractors. Investors view them as defensive plays because they tend to have stable, contract-driven revenues and dividend payouts that are less sensitive to economic cycles, though they remain exposed to government budget decisions and geopolitical risks. These companies had the highest dollar trading volume of any Defense stocks within the last several days.
