Recently, the U.S. government's stance on the defense industry has changed. Trump has been blunt in issuing a "ban" to major defense contractors: stop distributing dividends, suspend stock buybacks, and strictly control executive compensation. His logic is straightforward—this money needs to be spent where it matters, accelerating production, maintaining modern military equipment, building new factories, with no room for negotiation.
This wave of policy adjustments affects a long list of companies. RTX Corporation primarily manufactures electronic products, missiles, and aerospace components; Lockheed Martin is a global supplier of F-35 fighter jets and missile systems; Northrop Grumman controls cutting-edge weapon systems like the B-21 stealth bomber; General Dynamics is involved in shipbuilding, defense IT, and military vehicles; Boeing holds an important position in aerospace and defense.
Beyond these are L3Harris Technologies, responsible for aerospace, electronics, and communications equipment; Huntington Ingalls Industries, America's largest military shipbuilder; Howmet Aerospace, providing light metal products and defense solutions; TransDigm Group, supplying military and commercial aircraft components; GE Aerospace, carrying significant weight in aerospace defense; Leidos Holdings, specializing in defense IT and space contracting; and Axon Enterprise, supplying law enforcement and military hardware including body cameras and drones.
Behind the government's combination of measures lies a reassessment of the defense industry's efficiency and capital allocation. How capital markets will respond and how each company will adjust its strategy are worth continuous attention.
Defense stocks are reshuffled again, and this time it's truly a chance to transcend the cycle [laughing through tears]
No dividends, no buybacks? Actually, this is just clearing the deck for true value realization. Don't panic, the bottom zone is incubating.
RTX, Lockheed Martin and other defense giants being under short-term pressure is inevitable, but wait—this is a test of faith.
Money flowing into production and equipment means what? It means demand is maxed out. The market will slowly catch on.
Those who lived through the tech stock crash understand—policies may seem devastating, but they're actually rebuilding healthier growth logic.
Another day of full-position faith, the phoenix rebirth of the defense supply chain is worth patient waiting.
Conservation of energy, folks. The dividends we forgo today are the ammunition reserves for tomorrow's order explosion.
