A big test for the F-35

  • The strike on Iran by Israel over the weekend was the biggest test yet for Lockheed Martin‘s F-35 stealth fighter aircraft.
  • Northrop Grumman also makes parts of the plane, including the center fuselage along with radar and communications equipment.
  • RTX holds Pratt & Whitney, which builds the engine for the F-35. Collins Aerospace, also an RTX subsidiary, makes the equipment that informs the pilots of what’s happening around them. Raytheon, another RTX division, is responsible for the weapons systems. This includes the air-to-air missiles and air-to-ground munitions, as well as the navigation system.
  • A stock reaction might not be imminent because it takes a long time to make and approve orders. However, defense analysts say this weekend’s strike was key for any country deciding between the F-35 and the Eurofighter, which is a possible competitor for sales in the Western world.
  • Lockheed Martin is 10% from the 52-week high. The stock is up 22.5% so far in 2024.
  • RTX is right near the high. Shares are up nearly 50% so far in 2024.
  • Northrop Grumman is 7.8% from the high. The stock is up 9% in 2024.

Other defense companies

  • Howmet is up 89% so far in 2024. The stock is 4.25% from the recent high.
  • CACI is up about 70%in 2024, 4% from last week’s high.
  • BWX Technologies is up 61% in 2024, 3% from last week’s high.
  • Leidos is up around 57% in 2024. Shares are just off last week’s high.
  • Tank maker General Dynamics is up 17% year to date. The stock is 3% from last week’s high.
  • Israel’s Elbit Systems was up nearly 8% Monday, hitting a new high. The company got a contract from the Israel’s Ministry of Defense to supply a new laser-based anti-missile and anti-aircraft system, which has done well in tests. It could cut some costs for the interceptors used by one of Israel’s current air defense systems. Shares of Elbit are up 21% in three months.
  • Shipbuilder Huntington Ingalls is down nearly 2% so far this year. Shares are 15% from the 52-week high hit back in March.
