AeroVironment (NASDAQ:AVAV) climbs, but backlog, margin details curb gains

AeroVironment (NASDAQ:AVAV) climbs, but backlog, margin details curb gains

AeroVironment, Inc. surged Tuesday after posting strong fiscal Q4 numbers, but action was choppy. The drone and defense stock ended at $165.07, up 18.76%. Shares opened at $176.50, hit $178.50 during the day, then eased back. Volume was heavy at 7.98 million shares, 5.4 times the norm. After hours, the stock moved to $165.55. The stock outperformed the indexes by a lot, but closing under the open tells the story. Buyers bought the earnings beat, then stepped back after seeing gross margin, the latest acquisition, and profit targets for fiscal 2027. AP said the broader U.S. market climbed, with the Nasdaq gaining 1.5% and the S&P 500 adding 0.8%.

Redwire shares advance as Taiwan drone deal prompts new look at $500M stock sale

Redwire shares advance as Taiwan drone deal prompts new look at $500M stock sale

Redwire Corporation jumped 4.4% to $12.21 in early New York trading Tuesday. The move came after the space and defense company said it won a deal to deliver its Penguin Mk2.5 VTOL uncrewed aircraft system to the Taiwan Coast Guard through Taiwan Color Optics. Redwire didn’t say how much the contract was worth. For investors, the main signal is the stock price — Redwire’s funding dynamics seem to be shifting more quickly than its contract news. The stock moved in a $1.21 range during the day, or 10.4% of where it closed before. That swing was much bigger than what was seen in iShares Russell 2000 ETF and SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust early on, according to the latest quotes.

Honeywell Aerospace (NASDAQ:HONA) starts trading as $72 billion spinoff, faces data-center uncertainty

AeroVironment (NASDAQ:AVAV) falls after restatement; SCAR backlog risk eyed

AeroVironment (NASDAQ:AVAV) falls after restatement; SCAR backlog risk eyed

AeroVironment stock fell hard Monday as the company refiled quarterly numbers showing bigger losses in its Space operations. The move reignited worries about the U.S. Space Force’s SCAR project. AeroVironment ended at $151.33, dropping $18.30, or 10.8%. Trading volume was more than double its usual level, market data showed. AeroVironment shares are selling off a week ahead of fiscal Q4 and full-year earnings, and a little over two weeks before its investor day in New York. The move isn’t only about a non-cash accounting shift. Investors are questioning whether the backlog and BlueHalo deal still show a clear growth path.

GE Aerospace Stock Caps Shortened Week Higher as July Earnings Test Looms

GE Aerospace Stock Caps Shortened Week Higher as July Earnings Test Looms

GE Aerospace shares ended a holiday-shortened week sharply higher, leaving investors to weigh whether the jet-engine maker’s aftermarket strength can justify a stock that has already run hard into summer. The stock closed Thursday at $357.64, up 0.17% on the day and 6.7% from the previous Friday’s $335.30 close. The New York Stock Exchange was closed Friday for Juneteenth and remains shut for the weekend.

Honeywell Shares Slide as Investors Shift Ahead of Aerospace Spin Off and Investor Meeting

Honeywell Shares Slide as Investors Shift Ahead of Aerospace Spin Off and Investor Meeting

Honeywell International Inc. shares dropped on Wednesday as the spin-off chatter settled and investors started focusing on the value of what’s left. The stock was last trading at $207.93, off $7.77 from Tuesday’s close. Shares touched a low of $207.86 earlier in the session, with volume topping 2.2 million. The timing is key. Honeywell had just reiterated its 2026 targets and offered initial figures for Honeywell Technologies, the automation company set to stay once aerospace splits off. But the valuation questions are still there. If anything, they’re now more pointed.

Home Depot Stock Bucked Friday’s Rout. Monday Could Be the Real Test

Home Depot Stock Bucked Friday’s Rout. Monday Could Be the Real Test

With the New York Stock Exchange closed for the weekend, Home Depot’s next test comes Monday after the home-improvement retailer held up better than the broader market in Friday’s selloff. The stock ended at $310.78, up 0.27% on the day, but still lost about 2.0% for the week after closing the prior Friday at $317.14. That relative strength matters now because Home Depot is a rate-sensitive stock at a rate-sensitive moment. The S&P 500 fell 2.6% Friday and posted its first losing week in 10, while bond yields rose after the Labor Department reported that employers added 172,000 jobs in May, roughly double forecasts.

Reuters reported the opening price valued the Huntsville, Alabama-based company at about $3.54 billion after it sold shares at $20 each.

Redwire Gains Again With Drone Contracts Testing Defense Shift Timeline

Redwire Gains Again With Drone Contracts Testing Defense Shift Timeline

Redwire Corp. shares surged premarket Tuesday, adding to a big rally ahead of the holiday. Investors came back to the space-and-defense name after new drone contracts. The stock traded at $20.55 as of 5:01 a.m. EDT, up 17.5% before the bell. It closed Friday at $17.49—a rise of 13.9%. Timing was a factor. With U.S. markets shut on Monday for Memorial Day, Tuesday gave investors the first shot to gauge if last week’s rally was a squeeze, a shift in defense names, or had more to it. Nasdaq’s 2026 holiday calendar listed Memorial Day, May 25, as a market closure.

GE Aerospace Shares in Focus After Trump Comments, Details on Engine Deal Still Absent

GE Aerospace Shares in Focus After Trump Comments, Details on Engine Deal Still Absent

GE Aerospace shares traded higher on Monday, with investors looking at signs of a China aviation opening. The civil aviation regulator in China said it met with executives from GE and Boeing in Beijing after U.S. President Donald Trump said China planned to buy 200 Boeing jets. This would be the first major Chinese order for Boeing in roughly ten years, but details on a possible Boeing jet order involving hundreds of GE engines were light. GE finds itself in three different market spotlights at the same time. Trump put the company in play with his talk on a China deal. Then there are his new financial disclosures. On top of that, fresh pieces on institutional holdings are popping up after quarterly filings. GE shares rose 0.7% to $283.56 by 12:46 p.m. EDT. Boeing dropped 1.5%. RTX and Honeywell traded higher too.

Howmet Aerospace Stock Jumps: HWM Raises 2026 Forecast as Jet Demand Powers Profit Beat

Howmet Aerospace Stock Jumps: HWM Raises 2026 Forecast as Jet Demand Powers Profit Beat

Shares of Howmet Aerospace shot higher Thursday as the Pittsburgh-based aircraft-parts supplier topped Wall Street’s first-quarter forecasts and raised its guidance for 2026, citing robust orders from commercial aerospace, defense, and gas turbine segments. Quarterly revenue jumped 19% to $2.31 billion, with adjusted EPS up 42% to $1.22. Why does the update catch attention now? Investors are watching for signs that aerospace suppliers remain able to capitalize on Boeing and Airbus production bumps—even as supply chains stay tight and geopolitics disrupt. On top of that, U.S. aerospace suppliers are riding a wave of increased defense budgets. Conflicts in Ukraine and Iran have been depleting missile reserves, Reuters noted in a report published via The Economic Times.

Boeing Company Gets A Double Boost: Israel Clears F-15IA Plan As EgyptAir Takes First 737 MAX

Boeing Company Gets A Double Boost: Israel Clears F-15IA Plan As EgyptAir Takes First 737 MAX

Israel has signed off on a plan to acquire a fresh batch of Boeing F-15IA fighter jets, moving The Boeing Company deeper into a sweeping military procurement that also ropes in the Lockheed Martin F-35. Official word from Israel’s defense ministry: the Ministerial Committee on Procurement gave the go-ahead Sunday, greenlighting a deal valued in the tens of billions of dollars. This marks the first phase in a military upgrade pegged at 350 billion shekels, or $119 billion. The timing could prove crucial for Boeing. Fresh defense orders arrive just as its commercial airplane business keeps pushing to turn a hefty backlog into regular deliveries, stronger margins, and more cash—still wrestling with years of safety and production setbacks. Last month, Boeing reported a 21% jump in first-quarter revenue for its Defense, Space & Security unit, bringing in $7.6 billion and pushing the backlog there to a record $86 billion.

Lockheed Martin Gets Golden Dome Shot as $3.2 Billion Space Shield Race Opens

Lockheed Martin Gets Golden Dome Shot as $3.2 Billion Space Shield Race Opens

Lockheed Martin Corporation now joins the latest wave of Washington’s Golden Dome missile-defense initiative. The U.S. Space Force has listed the company among those eligible for prototype contracts totaling up to $3.2 billion. The project focuses on developing space-based interceptors—orbital weapons meant to target missiles earlier in their flight—with a first demonstration set for 2028. Timing is crucial here. Lockheed wants to turn robust demand for its missiles, aircraft, and space systems into more consistent profits, especially after first-quarter earnings took a hit from production setbacks and contract overruns. Those Space Force awards add more names to the field—SpaceX, Northrop Grumman, and Anduril—giving the Pentagon extra flexibility to juggle suppliers as the contract moves from drawing board to actual hardware.

GE Aerospace Shareholder Fight Intensifies as ADL, JLens Urge Rejection of Proposal 7

GE Aerospace Shareholder Fight Intensifies as ADL, JLens Urge Rejection of Proposal 7

ADL and JLens urged GE Aerospace shareholders on Monday to vote down Proposal 7, which heads to the ballot at the jet-engine giant’s May 5 annual meeting. The measure calls for an independent probe into how GE assesses human-rights risks tied to its defense products’ end users. GE’s board is already recommending a no vote. GE is ramping up defense production as competition intensifies. The company revealed earlier this month it will inject an additional $1 billion into its U.S. manufacturing operations for 2026, with over $275 million designated specifically for defense engine plants. CEO Larry Culp said U.S. aerospace strength hinges on “sustained investment” in talent, infrastructure, and technology.
