Live On CNBC, Steve Weiss Announces Bought Booz Allen Hamilton

President Donald Trump has pledged to cut spending in a number of areas, but one place that's likely to see a budget increase is the Department of Defense. Increased defense spending is one of the few issues reaching bipartisan agreement in Washington, as outgoing Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin recently recommended a <a href="https://www.usnews.com/news/top-news/articles/2025-01-13/austin-recommends-defense-spending-boost-by-more-than-50-billion-in-2026-bloomberg-news-reports">$50 billion boost</a> over current 2026 projections.
As global geopolitics becomes increasingly volatile and the nature of conflicts changes, upgrades are especially needed in certain critical areas like missile defense systems, autonomous drone technology, and cybersecurity.
These five companies are set to benefit the most from the drive to modernize America&#8217;s defense.
These five stocks were chosen based on their past success with federal projects, current financial and technical standing, and likelihood of avoiding any axes from the incoming Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Huntington Ingalls Industries (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HII#NYSE">HII</a>)</h2>
Huntington Ingalls is one of the largest manufacturers of nuclear submarines and aircraft carriers, with two major manufacturing facilities in Virginia and Mississippi and a large cybersecurity and IT facility outside the Pentagon in Fairfax, VA. The company also manufactures autonomous amphibious technology, such as unmanned underwater vehicles (UUVs).&nbsp;
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="298" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/20123041/HII-1024x298.png" alt="" class="wp-image-741406" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/20123041/HII-1024x298.png 1024w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/20123041/HII-300x87.png 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/20123041/HII-768x224.png 768w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/20123041/HII.png 1302w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>
HII stock had a rough 2024 despite a promising start. Shares hit an all-time high of $299 in early March before tumbling below $200 by the end of the year. Despite this recent decline, there's reason for optimism moving forward.
Gross profits have returned to pre-pandemic levels and the stock currently trades with a 11.2 price-to-earnings ratio, 1.84 price-to-book value, and 0.67 price-to-sales ratio; all metrics showing a cheaper valuation than competitors like Lockheed Martin, General Dynamics, and Northrop Grumman. The stock also pays a 2.74% dividend yield.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">L3Harris Technologies (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LHX#NYSE">LHX</a>)</h2>
L3Harris has been a public company for only five years, but they're already making a mark on the defense industry through innovations in command and control systems, intelligence and surveillance equipment, and navigation products for both commercial and government clients.
Formed through a merger of L3 Technologies and Harris Corp in 2019, the company is now one of the 10 largest US defense contractors and has shown impressive growth since the two original firms combined forces.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="298" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/20123047/LHX-1024x298.png" alt="" class="wp-image-741407" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/20123047/LHX-1024x298.png 1024w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/20123047/LHX-300x87.png 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/20123047/LHX-768x224.png 768w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/20123047/LHX.png 1302w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>
L3Harris has a loftier valuation than Huntington Ingalls, but it&#8217;s justified considering the company's revenue growth of 7.7% year-over-year, outpacing larger competitors like Lockheed and Northrop while maintaining healthy cash flow.
Last quarter, the company saw gross margins of 26.4% (far above industry average) and $5.52 billion in institutional money has flowed into the stock in the last 12 months. LHX has a $40.6 billion market cap and pays a 2.2% dividend yield. The stock chart shows upward momentum has petered out recently, but the RSI indicates it could be time to start accumulating shares again.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Palo Alto Networks Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PANW#NASDAQ">PANW</a>)</h2>
The future of defense isn't just on land, air, and water, but also online through the various information networks connecting governments and businesses all over the globe. Protecting private information is a crucial aspect for any large organization, and Palo Alto Networks has been providing cybersecurity solutions to public and private clients for nearly 20 years.
The company's main product is a line of firewalls designed to protect networks of all shapes and sizes, but it also operates Unit 42, an advance threat detection team. The FBI has credited Unit 42 with catching numerous hacking groups and cybercriminals, including the Gorgon hacking syndicate and the Xbash ransomware program.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="298" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/20123053/PANW-1024x298.png" alt="" class="wp-image-741408" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/20123053/PANW-1024x298.png 1024w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/20123053/PANW-300x87.png 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/20123053/PANW-768x224.png 768w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/20123053/PANW.png 1302w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>
Palo Alto Networks has a few tailwinds working for it that investors should keep an eye on. For starters, the company is a serial acquirer of smaller cybersecurity firms, with seven major acquisition announcements since 2020 (six have closed as of this writing). The incoming administration is expected to be much friendlier to merger and acquisition activity, which could greenlight Palo Alto to dig deeper into its cash horde for new companies.
Cybersecurity firms also have less capital expenditures since they aren't building ships or planes or tanks, but computer programs to protect from invisible threats. This allows companies like Palo Alto to operate leaner than traditional defense firms, and retain more of their revenue as profit.
But even compared to other cybersecurity firms, Palo Alto stands out. The company has 33% profit margins and quarterly revenue growth of 12% year-over-year.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">General Dynamics Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GD#NYSE">GD</a>)</h2>
General Dynamics has roots tracing back to the Electric Boat Company in 1899, but stands today as the fifth largest defense contractor in the United States. The company manufactures five major product lines: aircraft systems like the Aardvark and Fighting Falcon, marine systems like Electric Boat and Bath Iron Works, missile systems like the Redeye and Stinger, combat systems like the M1 Abrams and LAV series, and launch vehicles like the Atlas system.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="306" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/20123059/GD-1024x306.png" alt="" class="wp-image-741410" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/20123059/GD-1024x306.png 1024w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/20123059/GD-300x90.png 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/20123059/GD-768x229.png 768w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/20123059/GD.png 1303w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>
GD shares are down 11% over the last three months, but this correction could be a chance for investors to add shares. The company has grown revenue 10.4% year-over-year and has profit margins of 7.9%, higher than Northrop Grumman, RTX, and even L3Harris. Shares are trading below the 50-day moving average for the first time since October 2023, but other technical indicators show that the long-term uptrend remains in place.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Booz Allen Hamilton Holding Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BAH#NYSE">BAH</a>)</h2>
Booz Allen Hamilton might sound like an upscale clothing store, but it&#8217;s actually another major defense contractor, although not as well-known (or capitalized) as the big boys like Lockheed or Raytheon.
Founded at Northwestern University in 1914, Booz Allen Hamilton specializes in consulting, analytics, engineering, and cybersecurity services for governments, nonprofits, and private sector clients. The company has a $17.4 billion market cap and 1.5% dividend yield.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="298" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/20123105/BAH-1024x298.png" alt="" class="wp-image-741411" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/20123105/BAH-1024x298.png 1024w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/20123105/BAH-300x87.png 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/20123105/BAH-768x224.png 768w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/20123105/BAH.png 1302w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>
The BAH stock chart looks very similar to GD&#8217;s, only with a more pronounced dip. Shares are down 16% in the last three months despite consistent revenue growth and a 7.2% profit margin in the most recent quarter. Like GD shares, the stock has dipped below the 50-day moving average for the first time in over a year, but the long-term uptrend still looks strong. If defense contractors get a boost under the second Trump administration, Booz Allen Hamilton already has the stock momentum in place.

5 Defense Stocks to Buy for Trump 2.0

Kristi Noem, President-elect Donald Trump's pick to lead the Department of Homeland Security, is set to begin the confirmation process on Friday. Noem will appear before the Senate Committee on Homeland <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/education/24/11/42204590/trump-department-of-homeland-security-pick-kristi-noem-owns-ranch-invests-in-energy-gets-book-royalties">Security and Governmental Affairs.</a>
What To Know: Noem has served as the Republican governor of South Dakota since 2019 and is a former member of the U.S. House of Representatives. She is known for her hardline views on border control and immigration and has dispatched the South Dakota National Guard to the U.S.-Mexico border multiple times.&nbsp;

If confirmed as Secretary of Homeland Security, Noem will oversee more than 260,000 federal employees at the Coast Guard, the U.S. Secret Service, Transportation Security Administration, U.S. Customs and Border Protection and the Federal Emergency Management Administration. 
Noem will likely face questions regarding potential mass deportations and ending birthright citizenship, which she has previously supported.&nbsp;

&#8220;Securing our homeland is a serious, sacred trust that must be relentlessly pursued and can never be taken for granted. Being safe within our borders is an American right, yet Americans feel less safe than they have in decades. For the first time in 30 years, more than 40% of Americans are afraid to walk alone at night within a mile of their home,&#8221; Noem is expected to tell the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee.&nbsp;
Stocks To Watch: Stocks in the defense and security sectors are on watch as Noem begins her Senate confirmation hearings.&nbsp;

<h3>Booz Allen Hamilton P/E Ratio Analysis in Relation to Industry Peers</h3>
The P/E ratio is used by long-term shareholders to assess the company's market performance against aggregate market data, historical earnings, and the industry at large. A lower P/E could indicate that shareholders do not expect the stock to perform better in the future or it could mean that the company is undervalued. 
Booz Allen Hamilton has a lower P/E than the aggregate P/E of 40.9 of the Professional Services industry. Ideally, one might believe that the stock might perform worse than its peers, but it's also probable that the stock is undervalued. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1736181008_1.png" alt="Guage" />

In summary, while the price-to-earnings ratio is a valuable tool for investors to evaluate a company's market performance, it should be used with caution. A low P/E ratio can be an indication of undervaluation, but it can also suggest weak growth prospects or financial instability. Moreover, the P/E ratio is just one of many metrics that investors should consider when making investment decisions, and it should be evaluated alongside other financial ratios, industry trends, and qualitative factors. By taking a comprehensive approach to analyzing a company's financial health, investors can make well-informed decisions that are more likely to lead to successful outcomes.

Barclays Upgrades Booz Allen Hamilton to Equal-Weight, Announces $140 Price Target

The launch of the U.S. Global Technology and Aerospace &amp; Defense ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WAR#NYSE">WAR</a>) on Dec. 30, 2024, and its subsequent debut on the New York Stock Exchange, is another feather in the cap for U.S. Global Investors Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GROW#NASDAQ">GROW</a>) extensive suite of ETFs targeting specific sectors. The fund aims to bring investors into the areas of advanced technology, defense and aerospace with an expense ratio of 0.6%.
The ETF holds total net assets of $1 million, per the company&#8217;s fact sheet, and rebalances quarterly. Holdings are split, with the following 10 holdings equally representing seven percent each of the fund: Applied Materials (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMAT#NASDAQ">AMAT</a>), Booz Allen Hamilton Holding Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BAH#NYSE">BAH</a>), General Dynamics Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GD#NYSE">GD</a>), Hexcel Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HXL#NYSE">HXL</a>), Leidos Holdings Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LDOS#NYSE">LDOS</a>), and NVIDIA Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>). Other notable holdings include Rheinmetall AG, Cohort plc, Cognyte Software and F5, each constituting 4% of the portfolio.
A general breakdown of the ETF holdings looks like this: data centers, homeland protection, aerospace and defense, cybersecurity, and semiconductor. All these sectors are interconnected in today&#8217;s global economy.
Interestingly, <a href="https://www.usglobaletfs.com/app/uploads/2024/12/WAR-Factsheet.pdf">28%</a> of the ETF's technology sector exposure will consist of semiconductor stocks. This is important as the chip industry has been in the spotlight for a while now for its lucrative outlook. According to a recent <a href="https://www.pwc.com/gx/en/industries/technology/state-of-the-semicon-industry.html">PwC report</a>, global semiconductor revenues are anticipated to grow "more than twice as fast as global GDP, reaching over $1 trillion by 2030." Thus, a larger exposure in this area makes sense.
Also, another 28% of the fund's overall holdings will go to Cybersecurity, an area that needs intense R&amp;D and consistent advancements to tackle the growing sophistication of global cybercrimes, including cyberespionage, a major headache for governments.
The stocks included in this actively managed fund will be chosen subject to some quantitative and fundamental parameters. Also, there is a possibility for the fund to invest in foreign companies and emerging markets. The fund prospectus currently states that its exposure to companies in the U.S. is 83%, U.K. is 7%, Germany is 7%, France 3% and Norway 3%.
The ETF issuer has a note of warning to investors in its press release: "The fund's concentration in the securities of a particular industry namely Aerospace and Defense, Cybersecurity and Semi-conductor industries as well as geographic concentration may cause it to be more susceptible to greater fluctuations in share price and volatility due to adverse events that affect the Fund's investments."
Nonetheless, the defense industry presents a significant investment opportunity due to various global factors. 
Russia&#8217;s invasion of Ukraine, tensions with China and heightened military spending especially in Europe due to the almost doubling of arms imports between 2019 and 2023 will require high levels of defense spending. 
Advanced technologies in warfare are transforming war; countries are heavily investing in AI, hypersonic missiles, and autonomous weapons, with the example being China. 
As detailed by U.S. Global ETFs, cyber threats are also rising, with a 75% increase in global cyberattacks and leading to high investments in cyber security infrastructure. Bipartisan U.S. defense spending and increases in NATO military spending add weight to the potential growth of this sector. Another reason for European defense system modernization and the reduction of U.S. reliance on their systems is to grow more independent.

Palantir Technologies Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NYSE">PLTR</a>) Chief Technology Officer Shyam Sankar highlighted the critical role of artificial intelligence in national defense and outlined the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42377387/palantir-co-founder-joe-lonsdale-cheers-trumps-new-sec-pick-calls-out-gary-gensler-for-purposely-not-defining-crypto-rules">company&#8217;s vision for rebuilding America&#8217;s industrial base</a> during a CNBC &#8220;Closing Bell Overtime&#8221; appearance on Saturday.

&#8220;We need to rally together as a country to organize around this problem,&#8221; Sankar <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/video/2024/12/06/palantir-has-been-doing-a-lot-to-rebuild-the-american-industrial-base-says-palantirs-shyam-sankar.html?__source=sharebar%7Ctwitter&amp;par=sharebar">said</a>, citing current global challenges including North Korea&#8217;s involvement in Ukraine and Iran&#8217;s nuclear developments. &#8220;AI is the determinative factor because you need a technological offset.&#8221;

Palantir&#8217;s expanding influence comes as its market value reached $173 billion, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/11/41891026/palantir-overtakes-lockheed-martin-in-market-cap-how-does-the-messi-of-ai-stack-up-against-the-traditional-defense-player">surpassing traditional defense contractor</a> Lockheed Martin Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LMT#NYSE">LMT</a>).

Palantir's Shyam Sankar Says AI The New Frontier In Defense — Reflects On Possible Pentagon Rule Under Trump As Stock Soars

Shares of Palantir Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NASDAQ">PLTR</a>) are trading higher following company's partnership announcement with Booz Allen Hamilton Holding Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BAH#NYSE">BAH</a>). Here&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/24/12/42369000/booz-allen-and-palantir-partner-to-drive-us-defense-operations">what you need to know.</a>
What To Know: The partnership focuses on two primary objectives: modernizing information infrastructure to ensure secure interoperability and accelerating integrated warfighting operations with coalition partners through data-centric systems. These initiatives are designed to improve communication and collaboration between the U.S., its allies, and its partners on a global scale.
Booz Allen Chairman and CEO Horacio Rozanski emphasized the importance of an agile approach to national defense, stating that the joint effort had already produced a prototype within 45 days.
Palantir CEO Alex Karp underscored the company&#8217;s commitment to supporting Western defense efforts, noting that the collaboration will integrate artificial intelligence and advanced hardware to enhance the U.S. military's operational capabilities.
This partnership builds on prior collaborations between Palantir and Booz Allen, which have supported multiple programs for the U.S. government. The companies intend to explore further opportunities for co-creation, intellectual property development, and teaming across various defense missions.
The announcement also follows other recent developments for Palantir, including its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42362578/ai-driven-defense-palantirs-new-partnership-with-shield-ai-aims-for-scalable-precision-solutions">expanded collaboration with Shield AI </a>to develop large-scale autonomous command and control systems. Shield AI's technology, combined with Palantir's software solutions, aims to address critical defense challenges, even in GPS- and communication-denied environments.
The broader context for these partnerships includes the potential impact of future U.S. government defense budget adjustments. Proposals for increased government efficiency under a possible Trump administration could potentially place additional pressure on defense spending, a sector that has already reached historic highs. Analysts have noted that defense contractors, including Booz Allen, could face challenges in maintaining growth in light of these dynamics.
Price Action: Palantir shares up 5.88% at $76.10 and Booz Allen shares were up 1.97% at $145.51 at the time of writing, according to<a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard"> Benzinga Pro.</a>

Meanwhile, Donald Trump&#8217;s proposed Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), which Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy would lead, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/24/11/42013424/trumps-musk-ramaswamy-doge-plan-what-it-means-for-defense-and-it-stocks" rel="noreferrer noopener">raises concerns about</a> the future of U.S. defense contractors and government IT firms.
Trump&#8217;s DOGE could significantly impact the defense budget as part of his broader plan to restructure federal agencies and reduce wasteful spending.
Trump has long emphasized his support for a stronger U.S. military. Yet, his broader push for government efficiency could mean tough decisions for defense spending, which currently accounts for 13% of the federal budget or about $877 billion in 2023.
The risk for defense contractors is heightened, as Trump&#8217;s focus on reducing government waste may pressure the defense sector, especially since defense spending is currently at an all-time high.
According to Goldman Sachs analyst Noah Poponak, it was nearing the peak of this spending cycle, making it difficult for defense companies to see further growth. Booz Allen Hamilton Holding stock gained 12% year-to-date.
Wedbush&#8217;s Dan Ives sees Palantir as a key leader in <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/12/42307179/salesforce-palantir-and-oracle-spearhead-an-ai-revolution-says-wedbushs-dan-ives-a-renaissance-of-growth" rel="noreferrer noopener">the AI transformation</a> of the enterprise software industry. He notes the company&#8217;s strong position following its surge in stock price after receiving FedRAMP High Authorization.
He views the AI revolution as a broad trend affecting multiple sectors, including software, cybersecurity, and storage. Looking ahead to 2025, Ives expects Palantir to lead this transformation. Palantir Technologies stock surged over 333% year-to-date.
Price Actions: At the last check on Friday, BAH stock was up 1.84% at $145.33. PLTR is up 5.96%.

Booz Allen and Palantir Partner To Drive US Defense Operations

WIIM

Palantir and Booz Allen shares are trading higher after announcing a partnership to modernize US military operations and strengthen national security.

Booz Allen Hamilton shares are trading higher after the company announced a co-creation partnership with Palantir Technologies to accelerate U.S. national defense.

Booz Allen Hamilton (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BAH#NYSE">BAH</a>) and Palantir Technologies (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NASDAQ">PLTR</a>) jointly announced today a groundbreaking co-creation partnership to accelerate defense mission innovation and help the U.S. maintain superiority against its adversaries.
The effort expands collaboration between two industry innovators that recognize the urgent need for agile, field-ready approaches that help the U.S., and its allies and partners, communicate and coordinate in a complex global security landscape. The partnership will initially focus on two critical components:
<ul>
<li>Driving transformational information infrastructure modernization and secure interoperability; and</li>
<li>Rapidly accelerating integrated warfighting operations with coalition partners through data-centric systems that improve collaboration and combined mission planning with U.S. allies and partners.</li>
</ul>
"America is facing the most challenging national security environment in half a century, and we need to move faster to address these challenges. Combatting our adversaries requires change—starting with activating a whole-of-nation approach that accelerates results, pushes boundaries, and disrupts long-standing barriers," said Horacio Rozanski, chairman, CEO, and president of Booz Allen.
"We have seen the positive results of embracing this type of change already," continued Rozanski. "By working together, Alex and I are creating new mission capabilities that leverage Palantir's and Booz Allen's unique technologies and expertise to close mission gaps at the speed of now. Our joint team created a prototype in only 45 days."
As a leading defense technology provider for the U.S. Department of Defense, Booz Allen combines its deep mission expertise with advanced technology to accelerate results across the warfighting lifecycle and provide warfighters with an asymmetric advantage.
"We founded Palantir to defend Western society, and we are proud to maximally support our warfighters. To win on the battlefield, the U.S. and its allies must field their greatest assets: superior AI and hardware capability," said Alex Karp, co-founder and CEO of Palantir. "We're partnering with Booz Allen Hamilton to create a future where AI-infused hardware keeps our allies safe, and our enemies scared."
Palantir enables organizations to take advantage of best-in-class Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Data Integration, Data Storage, Data Processing, Analytics, Visualization, Operations, Cybersecurity, and Software Deployment capabilities.
The partnership builds on multiple previous strategic collaborations between the companies to support signature programs for the U.S. government and has additional potential for co-creation, IP development, and teaming across a variety of critical missions.

Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

도널드 트럼프 대통령은 여러 분야에서 지출을 줄이겠다고 약속했지만, 국방부는 예산이 증가할 가능성이 높은 곳 중 하나이다. 국방비 증가는 워싱턴에서 양당의 합의에 도달한 몇 안 되는 이슈 중 하나로, 최근 퇴임한 로이드 오스틴 국방장관이 <a href="https://www.usnews.com/news/top-news/articles/2025-01-13/austin-recommends-defense-spending-boost-by-more-than-50-billion-in-2026-bloomberg-news-reports">500억 달러 증액</a>을 2026년 현재 예측치에 추가로 권고했다.
세계 지정학적 상황이 점점 더 불안정해지고 갈등의 성격이 변화함에 따라, 미사일 방어 시스템, 자율 드론 기술, 사이버 보안과 같은 특정 중요한 분야에서의 업그레이드가 특히 필요해지고 있다.
미국의 방어력을 현대화하려는 노력에서 가장 큰 혜택을 볼 다섯 개의 회사는 다음과 같다.
이 다섯 개의 주식은 과거 연방 프로젝트에서의 성공, 현재의 재무 및 기술적 상태 그리고 새로운 정부 효율성 부서(DOGE)에서 제외될 가능성을 기반으로 선정되었다.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">헌팅턴 잉걸스 인더스트리즈 (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HII#NYSE">HII</a>)</h2>
헌팅턴 잉걸스는 핵 잠수함과 항공모함의 가장 큰 제조업체 중 하나로, 버지니아와 미시시피에 두 개의 주요 제조 시설과 펜타곤 외곽의 페어팩스, VA에 대규모 사이버 보안 및 IT 시설을 운영하고 있다. 이 회사는 무인 수중 차량(UUV)과 같은 자율 수륙 양용 기술도 제조한다.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="wp-image-741406" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/20123041/HII-1024x298.png" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/20123041/HII-1024x298.png 1024w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/20123041/HII-300x87.png 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/20123041/HII-768x224.png 768w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/20123041/HII.png 1302w" alt="" width="1024" height="298" /></figure>
HII 주식은 2024년 초에 299달러의 사상 최고가를 기록한 후, 연말까지 200달러 이하로 급락하는 등 힘든 한 해를 보냈다. 최근의 하락에도 불구하고 앞으로는 긍정적인 이유가 있다.
총 이익이 팬데믹 이전 수준으로 돌아왔고, 현재 주가는 11.2의 주가수익비율, 1.84의 주가순자산비율, 0.67의 주가매출비율로 거래되고 있으며, 이는 모두 록히드 마틴, 제너럴 다이내믹스 및 노스롭 그루먼과 같은 경쟁사들보다 낮은 평가를 보여준다. 또한 주식은 2.74%의 배당 수익률을 지급한다.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">L3 해리스 테크놀로지스 (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LHX#NYSE">LHX</a>)</h2>
L3 해리스는 상장된 지 단 5년밖에 되지 않았지만, 명령 및 제어 시스템, 정보 및 감시 장비, 상업 및 정부 고객을 위한 내비게이션 제품에서 혁신을 통해 방산 산업에 이미 큰 영향을 미치고 있다.
2019년 L3 테크놀로지스와 해리스 코퍼레이션의 합병으로 형성된 이 회사는 현재 미국 방산 계약자 중 10위 안에 들며, 두 원래 회사가 합쳐진 이후 인상적인 성장을 보여주고 있다.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="wp-image-741407" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/20123047/LHX-1024x298.png" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/20123047/LHX-1024x298.png 1024w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/20123047/LHX-300x87.png 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/20123047/LHX-768x224.png 768w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/20123047/LHX.png 1302w" alt="" width="1024" height="298" /></figure>
L3 해리스는 헌팅턴 잉걸스보다 높은 평가를 받고 있지만, 이는 회사의 매출 성장률이 7.7%로, 록히드와 노스롭과 같은 대형 경쟁사들을 초과하면서도 건전한 현금 흐름을 유지하고 있기 때문에 정당화된다.
지난 분기, 이 회사는 26.4%의 총 이익률(산업 평균보다 훨씬 높음)을 기록했으며, 지난 12개월 동안 55억 2천만 달러의 기관 자금이 주식에 유입되었다. LHX의 시가 총액은 406억 달러이며, 2.2%의 배당 수익률을 제공한다. 주식 차트는 최근 상승 모멘텀이 줄어들었지만, 상대 강도 지수(RSI)는 다시 주식을 매집할 때가 될 수 있음을 나타낸다.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">팔로알토 네트웍스 (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PANW#NASDAQ">PANW</a>)</h2>
방어의 미래는 육상, 공중 및 수역에 국한되지 않고, 정부와 기업을 연결하는 다양한 정보 네트워크의 온라인 공간에서도 중요하다. 민감한 정보를 보호하는 것은 모든 대규모 조직의 중요한 측면이며, 팔로알토 네트웍스는 거의 20년 동안 공공 및 민간 고객에게 사이버 보안 솔루션을 제공해왔다.
이 회사의 주요 제품은 모든 형태와 크기의 네트워크를 보호하기 위한 방화벽 제품군이지만, 고급 위협 탐지 팀인 유닛 42(Unit 42)도 운영한다. 연방수사국(FBI)는 유닛 42가 고르곤 해킹 신디케이트와 Xbash 랜섬웨어 프로그램을 포함한 수많은 해킹 그룹과 사이버 범죄자를 검거하는 데 기여했다고 인정했다.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="wp-image-741408" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/20123053/PANW-1024x298.png" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/20123053/PANW-1024x298.png 1024w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/20123053/PANW-300x87.png 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/20123053/PANW-768x224.png 768w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/20123053/PANW.png 1302w" alt="" width="1024" height="298" /></figure>
팔로알토 네트웍스는 몇 가지 유리한 요소가 작용하고 있어 투자자들이 주목해야 한다. 첫째, 이 회사는 2020년 이후 7개의 주요 인수 발표를 한 사이버 보안 기업을 계속해서 인수하고 있으며(현재 6개가 마감됨), 새로운 행정부는 인수합병 활동에 대해 더 우호적일 것으로 예상되어 팔로알토가 새로운 회사에 대한 현금 보유고를 더 깊게 사용할 수 있는 기회를 제공할 수 있다.
사이버 보안 기업은 군함, 항공기, 탱크가 아닌 보이지 않는 위협으로부터 보호하는 컴퓨터 프로그램을 구축하기 때문에 자본 지출이 적다. 이는 팔로알토와 같은 회사가 전통적인 방산 기업보다 더 날씬하게 운영되고 수익의 더 많은 부분을 이익으로 유지할 수 있게 한다.
그러나 다른 사이버 보안 기업들과 비교하더라도, 팔로알토는 돋보인다. 이 회사는 33%의 이익률과 분기별 매출 성장률이 전년 대비 12%를 기록했다.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">제너럴 다이내믹스 (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GD#NYSE">GD</a>)</h2>
제너럴 다이내믹스는 1899년 일렉트릭 보트 컴퍼니로부터 시작되었지만, 현재는 미국의 다섯 번째로 큰 방산 계약업체이다. 이 회사는 항공 시스템(Aardvark, Fighting Falcon), 해양 시스템(Electric Boat, Bath Iron Works), 미사일 시스템(Redeye, Stinger), 전투 시스템(M1 Abrams, LAV 시리즈), 발사체(Atlas 시스템) 등 다섯 가지 주요 제품 라인을 제조한다.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="wp-image-741410" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/20123059/GD-1024x306.png" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/20123059/GD-1024x306.png 1024w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/20123059/GD-300x90.png 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/20123059/GD-768x229.png 768w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/20123059/GD.png 1303w" alt="" width="1024" height="306" /></figure>
GD 주가는 최근 3개월 동안 11% 하락했지만, 이 조정은 투자자들이 주식을 추가할 기회가 될 수 있다. 이 회사는 연간 10.4%의 매출 성장을 기록했으며, 7.9%의 이익률이 노스롭 그루먼, RTX, 심지어 L3 해리스보다 높다. 주식은 2023년 10월 이후 처음으로 50일 이동 평균 아래로 거래되고 있지만, 다른 기술적 지표는 장기적인 상승 추세가 여전히 유지되고 있음을 보여준다.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">부즈 알렌 해밀턴 홀딩 (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BAH#NYSE">BAH</a>)</h2>
부즈 알렌 해밀턴은 고급 의류 매장처럼 들릴 수 있지만, 사실은 주요 방산 계약업체 중 하나이다. 록히드나 레이시온과 같은 대기업만큼 잘 알려져 있거나 자본화되지는 않았다.
1914년 노스웨스턴 대학교에서 설립된 부즈 알렌 해밀턴은 정부, 비영리 단체 및 민간 부문 고객을 위한 컨설팅, 분석, 엔지니어링 및 사이버 보안 서비스를 전문으로 한다. 이 회사는 174억 달러의 시가 총액과 1.5%의 배당 수익률을 보유하고 있다.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="wp-image-741411" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/20123105/BAH-1024x298.png" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/20123105/BAH-1024x298.png 1024w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/20123105/BAH-300x87.png 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/20123105/BAH-768x224.png 768w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/20123105/BAH.png 1302w" alt="" width="1024" height="298" /></figure>
BAH 주식 차트는 GD와 매우 유사하지만, 더 뚜렷한 하락세를 보인다. 주식은 최근 3개월 동안 16% 하락했지만, 지속적인 매출 성장과 최근 분기에서 7.2%의 이익률을 기록했다. GD 주식과 마찬가지로 주가는 1년 이상 만에 처음으로 50일 이동 평균 아래로 하락했지만, 장기적인 상승 추세는 여전히 강해 보인다. 방산 계약업체가 트럼프 행정부 2기 하에서 혜택을 받는다면, 부즈 알렌 해밀턴은 이미 주가 모멘텀을 갖추고 있다.

팔란티어 테크놀로지스(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NYSE">PLTR</a>)의 최고 기술책임자(CTO)인 시암 산카르(Shyam Sankar)는 인공지능(AI)의 국가 방위에서의 핵심 역할을 강조하고, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42377387/palantir-co-founder-joe-lonsdale-cheers-trumps-new-sec-pick-calls-out-gary-gensler-for-purposely-not-defining-crypto-rules" target="_blank" rel="noopener">미국의 산업 기반을 재건하기 위한 회사의 비전</a>을 CNBC &#8216;클로징 벨 오버타임&#8217; 프로그램에서 발표했다.
무슨 일이: 산카르는 대통령 당선인 도널드 트럼프 행정부에서 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/24/12/42331892/trump-eyes-shyam-sankar-for-pentagon-role-while-palantir-gains-from-border-crisis-contracts-analyst-says-this-is-a-win-for-the-stock" target="_blank" rel="noopener">고위 펜타곤 연구직에 고려되고 있다고</a> 전해지며, 역사적으로 방위 지출의 6%만이 방위 전문 기업들에, 나머지는 1990년까지 이중 용도 회사들에 배정되었다고 강조했다.
그는 &#8220;우리가 이 문제를 중심으로 한 나라로서 함께 뭉쳐야 한다&#8221;고 <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/video/2024/12/06/palantir-has-been-doing-a-lot-to-rebuild-the-american-industrial-base-says-palantirs-shyam-sankar.html?__source=sharebar%7Ctwitter&amp;par=sharebar" target="_blank" rel="noopener">말하며</a>, 현재의 글로벌 도전 과제인 북한의 우크라이나 개입과 이란의 핵 개발 등을 언급했다. &#8220;인공지능(AI)은 결정적인 요소이다. 기술적 우위를 확보해야 한다.&#8221;
중요성: 이 회사는 정부 및 상업 부문에서 상당한 변화를 겪고 있다. 팔란티어의 부즈 알렌 해밀턴 홀딩(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BAH#NYSE">BAH</a>)과의 파트너십 및 앤트로픽(Anthropic)의 클로드(Claude) AI 모델을 미국 정보 기관에 제공하기 위해 최근 아마존닷컴(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>)의 아마존 웹 서비스(AWS)와 협력하면서 산카르는 상업 시장의 AI 도입이 빠르게 진행되고 있다고 지적했다.
팔란티어의 시장 가치가 1,730억 달러에 도달하면서 전통적인 방산 업체인 록히드 마틴(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LMT#NYSE">LMT</a>)을 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/11/41891026/palantir-overtakes-lockheed-martin-in-market-cap-how-does-the-messi-of-ai-stack-up-against-the-traditional-defense-player" target="_blank" rel="noopener">제치고</a> 있다.
산카르는 펜타곤 직위에 대한 추측에 대해 팔란티어에 대한 헌신을 표현하며 &#8220;나는 매우 행복하다&#8230; 저는 19년 동안 13번째 직원으로 여기 있었고, 우리는 세대적인 회사를 만들 기회를 가지고 있다고 생각한다&#8221;고 말했다.
웨드부시 증권의 매니징 디렉터인 댄 아이브스는 팔란티어를 기업 AI 혁신의 선두주자로 지목했다. 이 회사의 주가는 9월 S&amp;P 500에 가입한 이후 93% 급등했는데, 이는 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/12/42307179/salesforce-palantir-and-oracle-spearhead-an-ai-revolution-says-wedbushs-dan-ives-a-renaissance-of-growth" target="_blank" rel="noopener">정부 계약 및 AI 파트너십</a>에 대한 투자자의 신뢰가 높아지는 것을 반영한다.
주가 움직임: 팔란티어의 주식은 금요일에 76.34달러로 마감되어 하루 동안 6.22% 상승했다. 애프터 마켓에서 주가는 추가로 1.52% 상승했다. 올해 들어 팔란티어는 360.43% 급등했다.
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/PLTR/analyst-ratings" target="_blank" rel="noopener">벤징가 프로</a>의 데이터에 따르면, 팔란티어는 18명의 애널리스트로부터 평균 30.22달러의 목표 주가를 제시받았으며, 목표 주가의 상한선은 75달러, 하한선은 7.50달러이다. 최근 BofA 증권, 웨드부시 및 골드만삭스가 제시한 목표 주가의 평균은 63.67달러로 현재 수준에서 17.85% 하락할 가능성을 시사한다.

금요일에 부즈 알렌 해밀턴 홀딩(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BAH#NYSE">BAH</a>)과 팔란티어 테크놀로지스(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NASDAQ">PLTR</a>)가 협력하여 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/12/b42360655/booz-allen-and-palantir-partner-to-advance-and-accelerate-u-s-national-defense" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">국방 임무 혁신</a>을 가속화한다고 발표했다.
이 파트너십은 정보 인프라 현대화를 혁신적으로 추진하고, 연합 파트너들과의 통합 전투 작전을 가속화하는 데 중점을 두고 있다.
이 협력은 이전에 이루어진 여러 전략적 협업을 기반으로 하며, 미국 정부의 주요 프로그램을 지원하는 데 기여해왔다.

이 파트너십은 공동 창작, IP 개발 및 다양한 주요 임무에서의 팀워크에 대한 추가 잠재력을 가지고 있다.

한편, 도널드 트럼프가 제안한 정부 효율부(DOGE)는 일론 머스크와 비벡 라마스와미가 이끌 예정이며, 미국 방산업체들과 정부 IT 기업들의 미래에 대한 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/24/11/42013424/trumps-musk-ramaswamy-doge-plan-what-it-means-for-defense-and-it-stocks" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">우려를 제기</a>한다.
트럼프의 DOGE는 연방 기관을 재구성하고 낭비 지출을 줄이려는 그의 광범위한 계획의 일환으로 방위 예산에 상당한 영향을 미칠 수 있다.
트럼프는 강력한 미국 군대에 대한 지지를 강조해왔다. 그러나 정부 효율성에 대한 그의 광범위한 추진은 방위 지출에 대한 어려운 결정을 의미할 수 있다. 현재 방위 지출은 연방 예산의 13% 또는 2023년 약 8,770억 달러를 차지한다.
방산업체들에 대한 위험은 높아지며, 트럼프의 정부 낭비 절감에 대한 초점은 방위 부문에 압력을 가할 수 있다. 특히 현재 방위 지출이 사상 최고 수준이기 때문이다.
골드만삭스의 분석가 노아 포포낙(Noah Poponak)에 따르면, 방위 지출 주기가 정점에 가까워지고 있어 방산업체들이 추가 성장을 보기는 어려워지고 있다. 부즈 알렌 해밀턴의 주식은 올해 들어 13.83% 상승했다.
웨드부시의 댄 아이브스(Dan Ives)는 팔란티어를 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/12/42307179/salesforce-palantir-and-oracle-spearhead-an-ai-revolution-says-wedbushs-dan-ives-a-renaissance-of-growth" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">기업 소프트웨어 산업의 인공지능(AI) 혁신</a>의 핵심 리더로 보고 있다. 그는 FedRAMP(연방정부 위험 및 인증 관리 프로그램) High Authorization을 받은 후 주가가 급등한 회사의 강력한 위치를 주목한다.
그는 AI 혁신이 소프트웨어, 사이버 보안 및 스토리지 등 여러 부문에 영향을 미치는 광범위한 추세로 보고 있다. 2025년을 바라보며, 아이브스는 팔란티어가 이 변화를 주도할 것으로 예상한다. 팔란티 주식은 올해 들어 360% 급등했다.
주가 변동: 금요일 마지막 확인 시, 부즈 알렌의 주식은 금요일 뉴욕 오후 3시 34분에 1.63% 상승한 $145.03에 거래되었으며, 팔란티어는 6.14% 상승한 $76.28에 거래되었다.
