Contractors and ETFs
This article explores Canadian
defense stocks and ETFs amid
geopolitical tensions and increased
military spending by the Canadian
government.
Two Canadian defense ETFs:
1. iShares US Aerospace & Defense
Index ETF (TSX:XAD)
2. Global X Defence Tech Index ETF
(TSX:SHLD)
Investors place bets on
Trump team’s next
investment target
First it was a $400 million stake in
MP Materials Corp., a little-known
miner of rare earth materials. Next,
a $10 billion investment in
embattled chipmaker Intel Corp.
Then another slug of shares in
Lithium Americas Corp., which has
aspirations of producing lithium in
the US.
Each investment by the Trump
administration sent the target
company’s shares soaring by
double digits. And now, investors
are wondering, who’s next?
