Aerospace-defense
Defense primes and steady-demand contractors.
Updated June 18, 2026
Aerospace and defense contractors plus a few steady-demand industrials (NOC, LMT, GD, RTX). Unusually low volatility for a cyclical, with a post-2022 defense-spending tailwind — the best risk-adjusted cyclical group.

32 names cluster here, grouped purely by how their prices have moved together over the last five years (with the market’s common move removed) — not by GICS sector. Each row shows price change over 1 day, 1 week, 1 month and 1 year, then the four SYMBOL-card scores: Perform (beat vs the S&P 500), Persist (how steadily it holds rank), Profit (business growth) and Pressure (money flow & volatility). Scores are percentiles from 0–100; greener is stronger.
