5 articlesThe article compares two defense sector ETFs: iShares U.S. Aerospace & Defense ETF (ITA) and Global X Defense Tech ETF (SHLD). ITA offers a lower expense ratio (0.38% vs 0.50%), stronger 1-year returns (32.5% vs 7.4%), and more established track record, but has concentrated positions in GE Aerospace, RTX, and Boeing. SHLD provides broader diversification with technology exposure (12% allocation) and global defense tech companies, including Palantir. The author slightly favors SHLD for its growth potential and diversification despite higher recent underperformance.
Palantir Technologies announced an expanded partnership with Google Cloud to enhance AI integrations, making Palantir's Foundry and AIP available on Google Cloud Marketplace. The collaboration will enable two-way data federation between Palantir's and Google's platforms. Additionally, Palantir secured multi-million dollar deals with Kirkland & Ellis, McCarthy Building Companies, and GNP Seguros in Mexico, marking its first publicly disclosed commercial customer in the country.
The Global X - Defense Tech ETF (SHLD) offers lower fees (0.5% expense ratio) and higher dividend yield (0.5%), while the Invesco Aerospace & Defense ETF (PPA) provides a longer track record with 61 holdings and stronger 1-year returns (32.1% vs 15.8%). Both funds concentrate in industrials and offer solid growth exposure to the defense sector, with SHLD favored by cost-conscious investors and PPA appealing to those prioritizing performance history.
Lockheed Martin broke ground on a new munitions production facility in Troy, Alabama, adding 87,000 square feet of production space for THAAD interceptors. The company has invested over $1 billion in this expansion as part of a broader $9 billion investment strategy through 2030 to enhance munitions production capacity and meet rising defense demand.
Lockheed Martin shares rose in premarket trading following Peru's decision to purchase 12 F-16 Block 70 aircraft. However, Q1 2026 earnings missed estimates with sales of $18.021B (vs. $18.244B expected) and EPS of $6.44 (vs. $6.71 expected). Technical analysis shows the stock trading in oversold territory with a bearish short-term trend, though analysts maintain a Hold rating with a $624.36 price target.
