With a new administration ready to take office in the U.S., many big decisions will need to be made regarding homeland defense and the defense budget. These decisions will have a great effect on defense stocks. Some believe Obama will cut the defense budget by 10-25% which may be detrimental to the sector. Another take is that the Military will become more evolved with better technology greatly benefitting a firm like Aerovironment who build high tech unmanned aircrafts that have sophisticated cameras to help give the military an advantage without putting any human lives at risk and to be more reliant on technology rather than recruiting.
