  • What President Obama's 2015 Budget Means for These Stocks

    Defense Stocks
    • By , Associate Editor, Money Morning  -   March 4, 2014

    U.S. President Barack Obama's 2015 budget, officially set for release today (Tuesday), looks good for defense stocks -- for the most part.

    Based on preliminary details that members of the Obama administration began discussing last week, defense contractors won't be touched by most of the planned spending reductions.

    While President Obama's fiscal 2015 budget does include significant defense spending cuts, most of those are expected to come from reduced troop levels, base closings, and dropping a handful of weapons programs, particularly the A-10 "Warthog" ground attack aircraft and the...

    I'll never forget my conversation with defense-industry leader Bob Beyster.

    Armed with a doctorate degree and decades of experience, Beyster ranked as one of the U.S. defense industry's true visionary thinkers. That came through loud and clear when I interviewed him for Signal magazine back in early 1999.

    Last year when Congress formed its much-lauded "Supercommittee" to sort out America's debt crisis, there was a lot of handwringing about draconian budget cuts. But true to form, on the eve of an election year, our politicians did nothing and the sequestration clock began to tick. In essence, they made the bold move to kick the can down the road. The problem is if the clock is allowed to keep ticking, those same draconian cuts will happen anyway. No industry is more aware of this than the defense sector.

  • Defense Stocks Under Fire From Super Committee Budget Cuts
    Government / Stocks1
    • By , Associate Editor, Money Morning  -   November 21, 2011
    Defense stocks have become collateral damage in the battle raging in Congress over how to reduce the deficit by $1.2 trillion over the next decade. Any mix of cuts and tax increases will certainly include significant reductions in defense spending. And if the Congressional "super committee" fails to come up with a plan, an automatic "sequestration" will kick in, which calls for half of the money -- $600 billion - to come out of defense. That will come on top of $350 billion in defense spending cuts (also stretched out over the next decade) that were part of this past summer's agreement to raise the debt ceiling. No wonder the major defense contractors are concerned....
