Big 3 Defense Stocks – Are They Good Values Today?

Big 3 Defense Stocks

In this video, Chuck Carnevale, co-founder of FAST Graphs, aka Mr. Valuation, evaluates three major defense companies—General Dynamics (GD), Lockheed Martin (LMT), and RTX (formerly Raytheon/United Technologies)—through the lens of FAST Graphs, a fundamentals-based research tool. He emphasizes that this analysis should be just the beginning of deeper due diligence.

Chuck underscores that all big 3 defense stocks are high-quality, dividend-paying businesses with solid long-term prospects. However, he cautions against overpaying for growth. At current prices, he considers all three stocks overvalued.

He explains that buying at fair value allows investors to fully participate in a company’s earnings and dividend growth, while overpaying diminishes that potential and increases risk. He highlights how FAST Graphs helps investors assess value and dividend yield over time, noting that yields are typically highest—and valuations lowest—when the best buying opportunities arise.

Chuck concludes by reinforcing that FAST Graphs is not a stock-picking tool, but a “tool to think with,” helping users evaluate the risk and reward of investment decisions based on fundamentals.
