Trump’s Election Triggers Boom: European Defense Stocks Double in a Few Months, Record Demand
The 2024 US presidential election is already having an impact on financial decisions. Especially in Europe, but also globally, defense companies are experiencing an unprecedented boom since Donald Trump seems to have a chance at the White House. From MBDA in Germany to MBDA in France to BAE Systems in Britain, they’re all seeing a significant increase in share price.
Weapon Stocks Benefit
The increased demand for defense stocks can also be observed in the US. Northrop Grumman, Lockheed Martin, and others have been able to book significant gains. Analysts are pointing out that Trump’s chances of occupying the White House again not only drive American arms stocks but also benefit corresponding European corporations. Meanwhile, defense spending in Japan and some European countries like Poland is rising to record levels, bolstered by ongoing conflicts worldwide.
Long-term Strategic Investments
The category of arms investments doesn’t excite everyone, but for larger funds with long-term strategies, defense stocks are currently seen as indispensable. The background is clear for the experts: It is primarily about ensuring predictability and security in times of geopolitical tensions, and arms companies are always able to generate profits. This sector is now likely to face another strong four years if Trump is elected, whether investors want to admit it or not.
