7 Defense Stocks That Can Protect Your Portfolio - 6 of 7

 
 

#6 - Kratos Defense & Security Solutions, Inc. (NASDAQ:KTOS)

Kratos Defense & Security Solutions, Inc. (NASDAQ: KTOS) is a small-cap stock that invests in the new face of warfare. The San Diego-based company provides products and services like satellite communications, turbine technologies, and rocket support services for its customer base of defense contractors.

But what has many investors excited is that it manufactures advanced military drones. One example of this  is the XQ-58A Valkyrie drone which will be one of the only fully stealth drones in the world.

In 2022, the company increased its revenue by $28 million annually. The company also recently announced receipt of a $174 million contract from the U.S. Navy.

KTOS stock has a 50% upside, according to the analysts surveyed by MarketBeat. And if the company can meet its revenue and earnings projections over the next five years, that price projection may be too light.
