PPA Over ITA: A Better Way To Play The Global Defense Spending Boom
The Invesco Aerospace & Defense ETF earns a strong buy rating for its superior diversification and risk-adjusted returns vs. the iShares U.S. Aerospace & Defense ETF. PPA's modified market-cap approach reduces concentration risk, capturing growth from mid-cap and specialized defense suppliers overlooked by ITA's top-heavy portfolio. Despite a higher 0.58% expense ratio, PPA delivers better long-term Sharpe ratios, lower volatility, and trades at cheaper valuations (P/E 26.98 vs. ITA's 30.76).
PPA: The Trend And Fundamentals Remain Bullish
Geopolitical tensions and rising global defense budgets are driving sustained demand for military equipment, benefiting leading defense contractors and the Invesco Aerospace & Defense ETF. U.S. and NATO commitments to significantly increase defense spending through 2035 create a strong tailwind for the sector and PPA's top holdings. PPA's long-term bullish trend, resilient performance after corrections, and high Seeking Alpha ETF grades reinforce its investment appeal.
PPA: An Ideal Way To Invest In Defense And The Golden Dome
Invesco Aerospace & Defense ETF is a strong long-term play, but recent gains make it overbought; I recommend waiting for a pullback. Global defense spending is rising, especially in Europe, and the potential Golden Dome project could drive a multi-year sector boom. Key holdings like Boeing, Lockheed Martin, and L3Harris stand to benefit, but valuations are stretched; Lockheed Martin offers the best value now.
