Defense stocks are rallying on confirmed demand acceleration. RTX's CEO cited a surge in orders from Europe, Asia-Pacific, and MENA, directly linked to rising defense budgets in Germany, Poland, and Japan. This macro trend is corroborated by Northrop Grumman's Q3 results, where EPS beat estimates and the company raised its full-year guidance, citing a robust $109.6 billion order backlog. The geopolitical escalation in Syria further validates the thesis of sustained government spending on military hardware and radar systems.
