The Defense ETF Duel: Old Guard Aerospace or Next-Gen Tech?
Invesco Aerospace & Defense ETF (PPA) and First Trust Indxx Aerospace & Defense ETF (MISL) offer different approaches to defense sector investing. PPA, the larger and more established fund with $7.4B in AUM, delivers higher dividends (0.4% yield) and lower volatility with traditional aerospace exposure. MISL, launched in 2022 with a more concentrated 39-holding portfolio, emphasizes next-gen defense tech including Palantir and SpaceX. Since 2022, PPA has outperformed with 117% total return (21.6% CAGR) versus MISL's 105% (19.8% CAGR), though both have slightly elevated expense ratios around 0.58-0.60%.
GE Aerospace vs. Lockheed Martin: Which Stock Is a Better Buy in 2026?
GE Aerospace and Lockheed Martin represent two distinct aerospace investment strategies. GE Aerospace benefits from a commercial aviation boom with strong revenue growth (18.5% YoY), high margins (19%), and a $210B+ backlog. Lockheed Martin offers stability through defense contracts with 72% U.S. Government revenue, though slower growth (5.7% YoY) and higher leverage (3.2x debt-to-equity).

Boeing Fell Back Below $200 Ahead of a Strike Deadline. Here's Why I'd Buy the Fear After New Contracts Were Signed
Boeing stock has declined 11.3% over the past month and 26.7% from its 52-week high, but the author sees buying opportunity. The company averted a labor strike with 17,000 engineers and recently secured major defense contracts including development of next-generation carrier-based fighter jets and the F-47 to replace the F-15.

BWX Technologies vs. Rocket Lab: Should You Go Nuclear or Go to Space in Your Portfolio?
The article compares BWX Technologies and Rocket Lab as investment options, presenting a value versus growth dilemma. BWX offers stability through nuclear infrastructure contracts with the U.S. government and benefits from the nuclear power renaissance, trading at a reasonable 28.6x forward P/E with positive cash flow. Rocket Lab provides high-growth potential with 38% revenue growth but currently burns cash and trades at a premium 191.8x forward P/E, with its $8 billion Iridium acquisition adding complexity. The author recommends BWX Technologies as the better 2026 investment due to its essential role in Navy contracts, reasonable valuation, and predictable profitability.
Why Lockheed Martin Stock Keeps Going Up
UBS analyst Gavin Parsons upgraded Lockheed Martin to 'buy' with a $674 price target, predicting 26% upside driven by strong missile and defense sales growth. The analyst expects Lockheed's Missiles and Fire Control division to grow 20% annually through 2030, with sales of PAC-3 Patriot, THAAD, and JASSM/LRASM missiles adding billions in revenue. Since the division has higher profit margins (13%) than the company average (10.7%), profit growth could exceed Wall Street's 17% prediction, making the stock attractive at under 20x earnings.
