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 design, manufacture, or support military and national-security products and services—such as aerospace and defense contractors, weapons and equipment makers, cybersecurity firms, and government services providers. Investors often view them as defensive because their revenues are relatively stable and tied to government defense budgets and long-term contracts, making them less sensitive to economic cycles, though they remain exposed to geopolitical events and policy changes. These companies had the highest dollar trading volume of any Defense stocks within the last several days.
