U.S. defense stocks have seen significant declines following the Democrats' victory in Congress, raising concerns about military budget increases. Major companies like Lockheed Martin and RTX experienced notable drops in their stock prices. Analysts suggest that the new Democratic majority may impose stricter controls on Pentagon spending, potentially leading to a defense budget closer to $1.150 trillion rather than the $1.500 trillion proposed by the Trump administration. Despite recent strong quarterly results, investor skepticism about large military spending increases has grown, impacting stock performance in the sector.
