Defense Stocks And ETFs Such As SHLD Are Declining Today: Why?
Defense industry firms rise and fall in the short term when investors fear war or expect sudden peace. Instead, look at the big picture: defense is essential to our survival. I prefer strategic investment in defense ETFs over picking individual stocks, due to complex contract allocation and political factors. My top picks include Global X Defense Tech ETF, Select STOXX Europe Aerospace & Defense ETF, and WisdomTree Europe Defense Fund ETF.
SHLD: Defense-Tech ETF That's Priced To Perfection
Global X Defense Tech ETF has surged over 80% YTD, outperforming legacy defense ETFs like ITA due to its unique composition and global focus. SHLD excels by emphasizing tech-driven defense, broader geographic exposure—especially Europe—and a more diversified, growth-oriented portfolio than ITA. Despite higher fees and volatility, SHLD benefits from Europe's unprecedented rearmament cycle and the fusion of traditional and tech defense sectors.
AI, Robotics, And Drones Have Changed Defense Firms Forever
Defense industry giants like Lockheed (LMT) and Raytheon (RTX) retain top spots, but innovative firms and European players are gaining ground. Boeing (BA) has fallen in defense revenue rankings, while newcomers like GE Aerospace (GE), SpaceX, and Palantir show strong growth potential. To capture defense innovation, I recommend ETFs such as SHLD, EUAD, and WDEF, with SHLD as a top pick for technology-driven exposure.
