The iShares US Aerospace & Defense Index ETF (XAD-T) has garnered positive reviews from multiple experts who highlight the current favorable conditions in the defense sector, especially in light of increased military spending worldwide. With geopolitical tensions prompting countries like Canada, Germany, and those in the Middle East to invest more in defense, this ETF positions itself as an appealing investment option. Experts note its relatively low forward price-to-earnings ratio of about 27x, indicating potential for growth. While some analysts express caution regarding the ETF's narrow focus, they acknowledge that it serves as a succinct way to gain exposure to the industry. With the recent pullback, some see this as an opportune moment to add to positions, especially given the ETF's favorable chart and demand in the aerospace and defense area.
(You can buy it in USD or CAD, hence the two ETFs. It's the same play.)
He's all about going for easy wins. While he owns some of the underlying names outright, this is an succinct way to own the sector. The Golden Dome will be a major growth driver. With the latest conflicts, everybody's spending on the military -- Canada, Germany, Middle East. Leading companies are citing demand and spending lots. This ETF is cheap, around 27x forward PE, with a lot more to go.
As you look around the world, there's more and more attention on the aerospace and defense area. Chart looks great -- ascending channel of higher highs and higher lows. Bit too narrow a space for him, as it's more industry than sector. Has sold off a bit, with RSI ~42, so you could add at this time. Be cautious as to how much you allocate.
He owns other industrial names.
