Aerospace and defense stock screen

With political attitudes changing in Western countries, a long-term increase in defense spending seeming likely, and defense stocks not having risen as much as might have been expected after Russia launched a major war in Europe, this is a good time for investors to consider this subsector.

In order to come up with a broad list of stocks to screen, we began with the 25 companies in the STOXX Europe Total Market Aerospace and Defense Index and then added the components of these two U.S. ETFs:

• The iShares U.S. Aerospace & Defense ETF
  ITA,
  -1.52​%
  has $2.72 billion in assets and holds 32 U.S. stocks. It is highly concentrated, as the stocks are weighted by market capitalization with a cap at 22.5% for any one holding when the portfolio is rebalanced quarterly. According to FactSet’s most recent data, Raytheon Technologies Corp.
  RTX,
  -0.90​%,
  makes up 22.9% of the portfolio and the top five holdings make up 55% of the portfolio.

• The SPDR S&P Aerospace & Defense ETF
  XAR,
  -1.37​%
  takes a more balanced approach, aiming for a portfolio with a mix of 40% large-cap stocks, 40% mid-cap stocks and 20% small-cap stocks. The fund holds shares of 30 U.S. companies and its top five holdings make up 24% of the portfolio.

Adding together the holdings of the two U.S. ETFs, removing duplicates and then adding the components of the STOXX Europe Total Market Aerospace and Defense Index produces a list of 60 companies.

Among the 60 companies, 42 are covered by at least five analysts polled by FactSet.

Narrowing further, here are the 10 aerospace and defense stocks with majority “buy” or equivalent ratings that analysts expect to rise the most over the next year. Share prices and price targets are in local currencies where the shares are listed:
