(A Top Pick Jan 05/22, Up 37%) Model price of $404, downside of -16%. War drums are pounding. Same issue as with BA, where a lot of their numbers are secret.
Defensive, industrial play in defense. Tends to perform very well in September relative to the market 71% of the time, and it's positive 68% of the time. Long-term government contracts. Not a pick based on outcome of the Russia-Ukraine war. Longer term, global military spending is on the rise. Yield is 2.65%. (Analysts’ price target is $457.70)

Both LHR and General Dynamics earn about 70% of their revenues from the US government. He prefers Raytheon, a defence contractor (that makes the Patriot missile) and also produces commercial aircraft. The latter derives out of their legacy UTX business and amounts to 65% of their overall business. Expects the US government as well as NATO to be customers in their defence business as commercial picks up.
Yes, the US will increase defence spending because of the Russian war, but all of NATO will. LMT is fine, though he prefers Raytheon. Space monitoring will see an uptick, so Maxar will benefit, too.

The world's largest defence contractor. They produce 150 of the F-35 plane annually, and they sell 71% to US Defence plus 29% international sales. Unfortunately with the Russian war, Germany will increase their defence spending from $30 billion up to $100 billion.

Russia fomenting a war with Ukraine will likely see oil prices explode higher, based on historic precedent. Industries and stocks that will rise if a war happens (and nobody wants one outside Russia) are oil, consumer staples, drug companies like Procter & Gamble or JNJ. Also defence stocks like Raytheon which reports tomorrow or Lockheed are buys.
