Tell. Me how any of these stock except for RTX is going to do anything with the war effort unless they have military government contracts ? You spouted off alot of stocks but gave no indication they had government contracts. If they have government contracts it's a green light go invest otherwise noway

Mentions:#RTX

Correct, but this destroys shareholder value because it prevents the US from deploying expensive RTX missiles and then making more. Better to shoot down $8k drones with $2 mln missiles. Some will inevitably get through and destroy the planes and radar systems, thus boosting demand.

Mentions:#RTX

The oil spike is real but the smarter play is looking at what historically follows the initial crude spike. Pattern from past US-Iran escalations: 1) Brent leads (already happening), 2) Gold follows as safe-haven demand kicks in 2-3 weeks later, 3) North American producers (XOM, CVX) reprice as supply chain diversification accelerates. You're not too late — the duration trade is actually just starting if Hormuz stays disrupted. Defense contractors (LMT, RTX) also tend to outperform 30-60 days after escalation onset.

In what war that's anyone won do they keep bombing the enemy? Donnie said their entire military is destroyed so they are just bombing civilians right now? At least he's making sure RTX has plenty of orders to pump my shares.

Nah. RTX will just copy their stuff and charge 3X the price, and Hegseth will pay it because they can deliver at scale.

Mentions:#RTX

Institutional investors are what drive demand. If you or buy LMT, RTX, or whoever else, it's unlikely in the extreme to change things very much one way or another. I'm not pro-war, but I am very much against watching my earnings devalued as people who instigated and profited obscenely off this war inflate my earnings away. If it makes you feel better to be at a remove, just buy ETF's.

RTX buying MOBX 🤔🤔🤔 Any with more information....

Mentions:#RTX#MOBX

Talks of RTX buying MOBX

Mentions:#RTX#MOBX

The replenishment trade is real but the timing asymmetry is what most people are getting wrong. RTX's Tomahawk production doubled after the February contract, but "doubled" from a rate of maybe 150-200/month still isn't a large number when you've burned through hundreds in 100 hours. Revenue recognition on those contracts lags 18-24 months at minimum. The cleaner signal IMO is what happens with the supplemental appropriations process. If operations extend past 60 days this goes to Congress, and the specific line items in that bill tell you exactly who's getting paid and when. That's where the durable re-rating comes from, not the spot news cycle. On AVAV: the binary contract situation concerns me more than the BlueHalo comp. If the outcome on that contract is negative, the headline revenue number doesn't matter.

Mentions:#RTX#AVAV

USO, RTX calls SPY, GLD puts  how fucked am I 

Calls on RTX, BOE, LM, NOC, let’s go.

Mentions:#RTX#BOE#NOC

Good point and worth correcting the detail: the February RTX deal wasn't specifically to double tomahawk production, it was a 7-year framework to raise output across five munitions including Tomahawk to 1,000+ annually. RTX declined to confirm the current baseline but said some munitions would grow 2-4x. Here's the part that doesn't support the "already priced in" case though: 1,000 Tomahawks a year is roughly 20 per week. Operation Epic Fury reportedly consumed multiples of that in the opening hours. The replenishment math runs for years, not months, regardless of when the contract was signed.

Mentions:#RTX

Fair point, I'll own the imprecision. What I was getting at isn't that they're obscure names, it's that the concentration matters. LMT derives over 90% of revenue from defense. RTX is around 60%. These aren't diversified industrials where defense is one division among many. The "broad sector" framing actually undersells how leveraged these companies are to exactly the spending cycle that's playing out right now.

Mentions:#RTX

Do I keep the RTX call

Mentions:#RTX

You’re thinking along the same lines many defense analysts are right now. The economics of modern warfare are forcing a shift toward cheaper interception methods. Using multi-million-dollar missiles to stop relatively cheap drones clearly isn’t sustainable long term, so there’s a lot of interest in layered defenses that include interceptor drones, electronic warfare, and directed energy systems. Some companies already positioned in this space include AeroVironment, Anduril, and Kratos, which work on autonomous systems and counter-drone tech. Traditional defense contractors like RTX and Lockheed are also investing heavily in lower-cost interception solutions. The interesting part is that smaller defense tech startups may end up innovating faster here than the big primes. Definitely a sector worth watching as drone warfare keeps evolving.

Mentions:#RTX

Gold isn't an investment. Oil is too difficult to predict for most folks who aren't pros. Looks like we're going to need a lot more missiles. Wonder how RTX is doing? Kinda joking, but this country is going to be buy a LOT more missiles, especially given our strategy in Taiwan.

MOBX Prime contractor RTX for Tomahawk usually maked Tomahawks 100 per year. It cost $1.2M - $2M pr unit to make it. They signed a contract in february to make 1000 pr year but since Trump had a meeting with them on friday that they will quadruple production does that make it 4000 tomahawk pr year? (That is just my theory thinking)

I think most stocks will stay stable or decrease due to the oil price shock but the EU and Canada, AUS, Japan are at the moment making and about to announce new defence deals next week which I think will affect certain stocks which might rise, if they are not stalled by the international downturn. I am looking at FLT.V, BB, [PNG.TO](http://PNG.TO), [MDA.TO](http://MDA.TO) as military plays but also there are a number of mineral companies, which I don't follow, that will surely have big deals coming up. As for US stocks that are Iran specific, RTX and Lockheed are the two biggies but also oil companies as in the next year they will be quite profitable, unless Iran retaliates on US soil, which I don't think they can.

Mentions:#EU#BB#RTX

You might be a bit late and of it ends, the same stocks will go the other way. I have been long RTX, HII, NOC, Ktos, PPA , etc., and it may be time to sell some.

the cost of war in Iran, pegged for now at $50 billion to $100 billion, but subject to revision. It costs $45,000 an hour to operate a carrier-based F-35 fighter. And intercepting $30,000 Shahid-136 suicide drones using RTX $4 million Patriot PAC-3 missiles or Lockheed Martin’s $14 million-per-launch Thaad system, can quickly run up the tab.

Mentions:#RTX#PAC

I guess my thing is, where is the moat. Can't any company like RTX, LMT, etc just make their own drones to compete. Or is the tech, IP and software hard to scale.

Mentions:#RTX#LMT

This is as good as it's going to be- if antimissile ammo runs out for the GCC and potentially Israel before Iran runs out of Shaheds then casualties and more lasting infrastructure damage rises as more get through, similar to what Ukraine has been seeing. This is why Trump is meeting with Boeing, LMT, and RTX today. One patriot missile is $4-5 million. One shahed can be made for 40-50k with basic components and launched from anywhere- with range to hit as far as Riyadh from the Iranian interior. Iran is filled with mountains, underground bunkers/stockpiles, and has a large conventional military and ideological component with the IRGC. These things cannot be overcome quickly and attrition is on Iran's side here.

##Institutional Beneficiaries of the Post-9/11 War Cycle (2001–2026) I. The Prime Contractors (Direct $2.4T Acquisition Flow) • Lockheed Martin: ~$313B (2020–2024 total). Largest recipient of Pentagon funding (F-35, missiles). • RTX (Raytheon): ~$145B (2020–2024 total). Leader in missile defense and precision munitions. • General Dynamics: ~$116B (2020–2024 total). Primary builder of submarines and land vehicles. • Boeing (Defense): ~$115B (2020–2024 total). Key provider of rotary-wing and transport aircraft. • Northrop Grumman: ~$81B (2020–2024 total). Lead on B-21 stealth bombers and ICBM systems. II. The Asset Management Tier (Dividend & Equity Stakeholders) The "Big Three" asset managers are the top shareholders in nearly every firm listed above, capturing profits from stock buybacks and dividends (e.g., RTX and Lockheed spent ~$40B on share repurchases between 2022–2024). • Vanguard Group: Holds ~9% of BlackRock and similar stakes in the Big Five contractors. • BlackRock Inc.: Major shareholder in the entire defense sector; controls ~$10T in global assets. • State Street Corp: Third-largest institutional holder of defense equity. III. The Debt & Interest Tier ($6.5T Projected Interest) Because the wars were funded by debt, the interest payments ($1T already spent; $6.5T projected through the 2050s) flow to: • Primary Dealers (Big Banks): JPMorgan Chase, Goldman Sachs, and Citigroup (fees on bond issuance). • Foreign Creditors: Top holders of U.S. Treasury debt (Japan $1.1T+, China $700B+). • Federal Reserve & Social Security: Large domestic holders of the debt used to finance war appropriations. IV. Service & Intelligence Sector (The "Shadow" $1.1T) • Leidos & Amentum: Top providers of war-zone logistics and IT services. • Booz Allen Hamilton: Primary recipient of intelligence and "knowledge-based" warfighting contracts. • Palantir & Anduril: Newer tech entrants deeply integrated into DoD targeting and DHS surveillance. V. The Political Loop (Revolving Door) • Lobbying Firms: Spending ~$150M annually to maintain defense appropriations levels. • Think Tanks: Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS), Brookings, and AEI receive substantial funding from prime contractors to provide the "strategic rationale" for continued engagement. Summary of Extraction: While the average citizen sees zero ROI, the capital is systematically funneled into private equity (Asset Managers), defense hardware (Contractors), and sovereign/institutional debt holders (Interest).

I'd expect oil to gap up hard at the open - WTI could easily spike $5-10 if the strait gets threatened. Defense names like RTX, LMT, NOC will probably run too. But honestly, these geopolitical spikes tend to fade pretty quick unless things really escalate. I remember when Russia invaded Ukraine, oil hit $130 then fell back within weeks as markets realized supply wasn't actually disrupted that much. The key thing to watch is whether Iran actually tries to close Hormuz or if this stays regional. If it's just tit-for-tat strikes, markets will probably settle down after the initial panic buying.
