The best defense stocks are defensive. That is, they're able to continue increasing dividends and earnings over time, regardless of what's happening in the economy. RTX Corporation, formerly known as Raytheon, is one of the three biggest defense stocks out there by market cap and sales. Raytheon stock used to be a dividend aristocrat before their merger with United Technologies which resulted in an aerospace & defense company called RTX. All large defense contractors also have a commercial element to them, and RTX is sitting at about 40% commercial. While the S&P500 no longer considers RTX to be a dividend aristocrat, we still consider them a dividend champion which raises some questions around whether their dividend sustained its growth track record or not.

If you're a dividend growth investor looking for defensive defense companies, this video is a must-see.
