The geopolitical storm clouds have been stubborn and just don’t seem to be going away any time soon. And this could continue to boost defense stocks into 2026.
Today, we share a chart of the Aerospace & Defense Sector ETF (NYSEARCA: XAR) to highlight the tailwind that is carrying it higher.
More specifically, we want to draw attention to the recent breakout to new highs.
This is clearly bullish for XAR… but perhaps not so bullish for the prospects of war.

Here we can the big 1-2-3 day move to new highs. Barring an immediate reversal, this is bullish for defense stocks and their prospects into early 2026.
