Defense ETFs in Spotlight Ahead of Q3 Earnings Season
The U.S. defense sector experienced a nearly 19% decline from early August through mid-October 2026 due to rising Treasury yields, military spending uncertainty ahead of midterms, and supply-chain constraints. Despite headwinds, the Aerospace sector is expected to report 11.8% earnings growth supported by NATO spending commitments and strong backlogs. Key defense contractors like Lockheed Martin and RTX are scheduled to report Q3 results, with investors focusing on cash flow generation and contract execution amid a higher cost of capital environment.

This rearmament push, driven by Russia's invasion of Ukraine, Trump's NATO uncertainty, and other geopolitical threats, is expected to benefit major defense contractors and defense-focused ETFs that offer diversified exposure to the growing European defense procurement market.

Which Defense ETF Is the Better Investment: Global X's SHLD or iShares' ITA?
The 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.
