BAE Systems and Babcock shares jump as Iran war jolts markets and lifts defence spending bets

Shares of BAE Systems surged 6.1% on Monday, with Babcock International up 1.7%, defying a broader London selloff as investors responded to the escalating conflict involving Iran and the prospect of increased defence budgets.

The big story: a multi-year US Navy deal tied to precision-guidance kits, plus a run of smaller—but strategically consistent—contract wins across naval, land, and advanced tech. Layer on an active share buyback, and you’ve got a stock with both headline momentum and built-in technical support.
