Defense Stocks

Defense stocks are companies that produce the tools and technology used in military and defense operations. This often centers around aerospace engineering, arms and weapon production, and in some cases, the type of information security provided by specialized IT firms. The industry’s leading companies often receive valuable contracts from U.S. government agencies, but some companies provide technology for police departments as well. Some of the best-known defense stocks are Lockheed Martin and Raytheon Technologies.
