Military stocks

Screening Filters

1. Market Capitalization ≥ $2,000,000,000

   • Purpose: Focus on established, mid‑ to large‑cap companies.
   • Rationale:
     • Larger defense contractors and key military suppliers tend to be multi‑billion‑dollar firms with proven relationships with governments and long-term contracts.
     • These firms are generally more stable and have more complete public information, making them “worth analyzing” for most investors.

2. Monthly Average Dollar Volume ≥ $500,000

   • Purpose: Ensure reasonable liquidity.
   • Rationale:
     • Higher dollar volume means it’s easier to buy and sell shares without heavily impacting the price.
     • For research and portfolio construction, liquid names are typically more practical and investable than illiquid micro‑caps, which can be risky and harder to enter/exit.

3. Industry: Aerospace & Defense

   • Purpose: Directly target core military-related companies.
   • Rationale:
     • The Aerospace & Defense industry includes defense contractors, weapons systems manufacturers, military aircraft producers, and related suppliers.
     • This is the most obvious sector for “military-related” exposure, so it squarely aligns with your request.

4. Themes: Aerospace & Defense, National Defense, Cybersecurity

   • Purpose: Capture broader and adjacent military-related plays.
   • Rationale:
     • Aerospace & Defense / National Defense themes ensure that even if a company’s formal industry tag is broad, it still has meaningful exposure to defense spending or military contracts.
     • Cybersecurity is increasingly a core part of modern warfare and national security (defense contractors, secure communications, cyber defense for governments and militaries). Including this theme expands the universe to “new-era” military-related companies, not just traditional weapons and hardware.

5. Return on Equity (ROE) ≥ 10%

   • Purpose: Screen for financially efficient, profitable companies.
   • Rationale:
     • ROE measures how effectively a company generates profit from shareholders’ capital.
     • A 10%+ threshold filters out weaker or less efficient operators, focusing you on higher-quality businesses that may be more “worth analyzing” from a fundamentals standpoint.

6. Annual Revenue YoY Growth ≥ 5%

   • Purpose: Ensure the business is growing, not stagnating or shrinking.
   • Rationale:
     • Positive, at least mid‑single‑digit revenue growth suggests the company is either winning more contracts, benefiting from rising defense budgets, or expanding into new areas (e.g., cyber, space, unmanned systems).
     • This aligns with the idea of focusing on companies with forward momentum, not just legacy defense players with flat or declining sales.
