Boeing, Archer Aviation, and Rocket Lab 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 equipment and services—such as weapons systems, aircraft, ships, electronics, cybersecurity, and logistics—typically sold to governments and prime contractors. Investors often view them as relatively defensive because government defense spending can be steady across economic cycles, which may reduce their sensitivity to recessions, though they remain exposed to political, regulatory, and geopolitically driven risks. These companies had the highest dollar trading volume of any Defense stocks within the last several days.
