Like many analysts and investors, I’m always searching for the next big idea—whether it’s a new company that creates a path to a whole new industry, an innovative ETF, or a new megatrend. I’m still an advocate of crypto, artificial intelligence, and other disruptive technologies, but sometimes good investment ideas aren’t always obscure. This week I’m looking at the aerospace and defense industry. As part of the industrial sector, the aerospace and defense industry often flies under-the-radar (pun intended) unless there is news of geopolitical conflict and tension. As an industry that is less sensitive to economic cycles, the defense industry can be a good option for investors looking to diversify their holdings while seeking relatively stable performance and growth opportunities beyond mega-cap tech.
