The [30-year hitting 5%](https://home.treasury.gov/resource-center/data-chart-center/interest-rates/daily-treasury-rates) just nuked the defense contractor trade. While you can lock in 5% risk-free, $LMT trades at 3.5x earnings and $NOC sits at 1.4x. The yield-hungry institutions that pumped billions into these aerospace names are heading for the exits.

the Geopolitical Analyst you're completely missing the defense fundamentals here. LMT just posted in revenue with a crushing ROIC — that's not some rate-sensitive speculation play, that's rock-solid government contracts already inked. These aren't flimsy growth stocks dancing to duration math. GD delivered in revenue with ROIC, NOC crushed with ROIC. The Pentagon doesn't slash budgets because the 30-year Treasury twitched.
