If you're considering getting into these defense stocks now that they've already gone up 5-7% due to news about the potential 2027 defense budget, take a moment and think about who will be the next group of buyers to push the prices even higher.
On a regular day without fresh news, they might only increase by 2-3% at most, and if the excitement fades, those who jumped in late could end up with losses. Especially when negative factors like cuts in dividends or buyouts could happen way before any defense budget comes into play.
It's similar to what happened with oil stocks like Chevron, they shot up at first with the news about Maduro’s capture, but then lost most of those gains pretty quickly. Without new news pushing things forward, the chance for big, sustained growth seems uncertain. Be smart.
