Defense Stocks Deserve a Look
Boeing’s (BA) CEO Dennis Muilenburg told TheStreet he caught a glimpse at the 2018/2019 U.S. defense budget and found it hard not to be bullish on spending plans. Not only are the comments bullish for Boeing, but for other defense names such as Action Alerts PLUS holding Raytheon (RTN) .
Muilenburg also said cargo traffic continues to be solid. That hints that cargo shipping companies like FedEx (FDX) and UPS (UPS) could be having good second quarters despite a downshift in global growth rates.
