General Dynamics

General Dynamics is among the world’s largest Aerospace and Defense sector businesses in the world.  General Dynamics’s employees generate $1.916B in profits on $24.817B of revenue.  Global output in the Aerospace and Defense business will likely rise substantially over the next 10 years.  Long-term economic growth may lift all boats, but General Dynamics is determined to remain a market leader.  Sectoral leadership in the Aerospace and Defense segment takes dedication and consistency, but management seeks out-sized growth.

General Dynamics’s ticker symbol GD has recently been trading near $78.08 a share.  The General Dynamics corporate headquarters in Falls Church VA predicts Aerospace and Defense profits will satisfy shareholders in search of risk-appropriate returns.

The significance of market volume is sometimes ignored, but with a total market capitalization of $31.609B ensures sufficient liquidity.  With a beta of 0.60, the company is less volatile than the market as a whole.  When the average equity moves lower, General Dynamics moves less aggressively.
