Is General Dynamics (GD) The Best Defense Stock to Buy in 2025?

General Dynamics Corp (NYSE:GD) is one of the Top 10 Stocks Wall Street is Buzzing About These Days.

Citi’s Jason Gursky named General Dynamics Corp (NYSE:GD) as one of the top stocks to benefit from the increasing defense spending in the US and Europe. The analyst believes the new contracts these companies are winning “look more margin-accretive going forward.”

Gursky mentioned specifically why he likes General Dynamics Corp (NYSE:GD):

“Shipbuilding is another area of focus. There’s concern over the capacity gap between the U.S. and China, with China having far greater production capacity. That’s why we’re constructive on Huntington Ingalls and General Dynamics—they’re positioned to benefit from investment in shipbuilding infrastructure.”
