The SpaceX IPO Lifted the Whole Space Economy -- Including the Public Companies Building the Road Back to the MoonJune 27, 2026 5:30 PM
PR Newswire (Canada) Editorial Commentary — Commercial Space SeriesSpaceX's listing drew investor attention to the broader space economy, including lunar infrastructure. Intuitive Machines (Nasdaq: LUNR) has emerged as a leading public name in NASA's commercial Moon program, with record revenue and a US$1.1 billion backlog.VANCOUVER, BC, June 27, 2026 /CNW/ -- American News Group Market Commentary, The public listing of Space Exploration Technologies Corp. (NASDAQ: SPCX) As the most valuable private enterprise in the world arrived on the public market, it reframed the entire space sector as an investable theme — and capital began searching for the listed names attached to each piece of the opportunity. Among the threads that drew fresh attention was one of the most evocative: the return to the Moon. Get our free Orbital Economy Signal Brief for plain-English intelligence on the commercial-space sector, delivered as it moves. Key TakeawaysThe SpaceX IPO reframed space as a public-market theme, and reporting noted a broad rally across space stocks tied to lunar and Moon-base initiatives.Intuitive Machines (Nasdaq: LUNR) reported record Q1 2026 revenue of about US$186.7 million, nearly triple the prior year, with a backlog of about US$1.1 billion.Growth was driven by its US$800 million Lanteris Space Systems acquisition and NASA and U.S. Space Force contracts, including selection for the Andromeda IDIQ with a ceiling reported up to US$6.2 billion.Other listed names spanning lunar and space infrastructure include Voyager Technologies (NYSE: VOYG) and Boeing (NYSE: BA) — each distinct, and neither a proxy for the other.From One Mega-IPO to a Sector-Wide Re-RatingReporting around the period noted a rally across space stocks tied to NASA's lunar ambitions and Moon-base planning. SpaceX itself is central to that story — its Starship is integral to NASA's Artemis program — but the lunar economy is being built by a wider set of companies, several of them already public. The one that has moved most decisively into that role is Intuitive Machines.Intuitive Machines: A Lunar Pioneer Turning Into a Space PrimeIntuitive Machines (Nasdaq: LUNR), based in Houston, first drew headlines as a lunar-lander company — its Nova-C spacecraft became the first U.S. vehicle to soft-land on the Moon since Apollo. But its 2026 story is one of transformation from a single-mission lunar specialist into a vertically integrated, multi-domain space contractor. In the first quarter of 2026, the company reported record revenue of about US$186.7 million — nearly triple the prior-year period — alongside positive adjusted EBITDA of US$2.7 million and a contracted backlog of roughly US$1.1 billion.The leap was powered by its roughly US$800 million acquisition of Lanteris Space Systems, which broadened the company well beyond landers, plus a run of government awards. Management described a revenue mix split across commercial, civil, and national-security customers, and pointed to milestones including a NASA Commercial Lunar Payload Services task order for its IM-5 mission and selection for the U.S. Space Force's Andromeda IDIQ, a space-domain-awareness program with a ceiling reported as high as US$6.2 billion. The company reaffirmed full-year 2026 revenue guidance of US$900 million to US$1 billion.As ever, the counterweight matters. Intuitive Machines carries concentrated exposure to government contracts and their appropriations timing, integration risk from rapid acquisitions, and the simple reality that lunar missions are difficult — its earlier landing famously tipped on touchdown while still returning data. The backlog provides visibility; it does not eliminate execution risk.Why the Lunar Economy Is Suddenly an Investment CategoryThe deeper shift the SpaceX IPO helped surface is that "going to the Moon" has become a procurement program, not just an exploration goal. NASA's Artemis effort and its associated Moon-base planning are designed to be executed substantially through commercial contracts — landers, terrain vehicles, communications relays, and surface infrastructure bought from private companies. That converts a national ambition into a recurring revenue opportunity for the firms positioned to win the work, and it is why a lunar-services company's backlog and contract wins now read like those of any other government-exposed growth business. Intuitive Machines has leaned directly into that, expanding from landers into space-to-Earth data relay through planned acquisitions of ground-station assets, building toward the kind of integrated infrastructure the program will need for years. Tracking how this sector is being repriced in real time? Join the free Orbital Economy Signal Brief to follow the shifts as they happen.The Wider Lunar-and-Infrastructure FieldA couple of other listed companies frame the broader infrastructure landscape around the lunar and space-services theme — each distinct, and neither a proxy for the other. Voyager Technologies (NYSE: VOYG) is a space-and-defense technology company working across propulsion, precision systems, and space-infrastructure programs, and has been awarded a series of defense and space contracts as it builds out its platform. Boeing (NYSE: BA) anchors the large-cap, incumbent end: a diversified aerospace-and-defense prime with deep space heritage spanning human spaceflight, satellites, and major NASA programs. It is the steadier, established route into the same broad theme, with none of the pure-play torque — or the pure-play risk — of a smaller name. Together they show a lunar-and-space-infrastructure trade that runs from focused specialists to century-old primes, all drawn closer to the spotlight as SpaceX's listing re-rated the category — though each remains tied to its own contracts and execution.Another Name in the Space-Access FieldAmong the smaller, specialized names in the field is Starfighters Space, Inc. (NYSE American: FJET), referenced here purely for context and not as a recommendation. Over recent months the company has announced a series of partnership and development steps, including engaging Integrated Launch Solutions (ILS) to support mission design and range integration for its STARLAUNCH pathway, joining the NSF-proposed C-STARS research consortium at the University of Florida, and expanding a partnership with Mu-g Technologies on microgravity research. The company has said it is targeting a STARLAUNCH II space-demonstration flight over a roughly 18-to-24-month window, subject to regulatory approvals and execution. These are the company's own publicly stated plans.The Bottom LineSpaceX's arrival on the public market turned the space economy into a theme investors feel they must understand — and the road back to the Moon is one of its most tangible pieces. Intuitive Machines has positioned itself as a leading public name in that build-out, with record revenue, a billion-dollar-plus backlog, and a deliberate pivot from lunar lander to multi-domain space prime. The opportunity is real and contract-backed; so are the risks of government timing and acquisition integration. For investors drawn to the lunar story the SpaceX IPO helped illuminate, the names are now public and the milestones are now scheduled — with the data, as always, still to be delivered.

A Former NASA Deputy Administrator Just Joined the Company Flying the World's Only Mach 2+ Commercial Jet FleetJune 26, 2026 9:30 AM
PR Newswire (US) Issued on behalf of Starfighters Space, Inc.Starfighters Space, Inc. (NYSE: FJET) has launched a Strategic Advisory Board and named retired astronaut and former NASA Deputy Administrator Frederick D. Gregory as its inaugural member, a credibility signal as the company scales hypersonic flight testing and air-launch operations.CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla., June 26, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- USA News Group News Commentary - When a small, fast-moving company lands an advisor of genuine national stature, it is worth paying attention to. On its latest announcement, Starfighters Space, Inc. (NYSE: FJET), the company operating the world's only commercial fleet of flight-ready Mach 2+ supersonic aircraft, did exactly that, forming a new Strategic Advisory Board and naming retired astronaut and former NASA Deputy Administrator Frederick D. Gregory as its inaugural member. Key TakeawaysStarfighters Space (NYSE: FJET) formed a Strategic Advisory Board and appointed Frederick D. Gregory, retired astronaut and former NASA Deputy Administrator, as its inaugural member.Gregory brings a rare résumé: three Space Shuttle missions (455+ hours in space), former NASA Acting Administrator, former head of NASA Safety & Mission Assurance, and direct experience with the F-104 Starfighter, the very aircraft Starfighters flies.Starfighters operates the world's only commercial fleet of flight-ready Mach 2+ supersonic aircraft from NASA's Kennedy Space Center, and is advancing STARLAUNCH, its responsive air-launch platform.The move lands amid a defense and space-testing spending surge; FJET sits in the broader trade alongside Karman Holdings (NYSE: KRMN), AST SpaceMobile (NASDAQ: ASTS), BlackSky (NYSE: BKSY), and Boeing (NYSE: BA).A Heavyweight Joins the Cockpit-SideThe board was created to give Starfighters streamlined access to experienced space, defense, government, and technical leaders, offering subject-matter expertise and mentorship as the company expands its high-speed space-testing services, live atmospheric flight activities, and future air-launch initiatives. Gregory is the first name on it, and a marquee one.Why Gregory MattersColonel Gregory's career spans nearly every layer of American spaceflight. Selected as a NASA astronaut in 1978, he logged more than 455 hours in space across three Space Shuttle missions, serving as Spacecraft Commander on Discovery (STS-33) and Atlantis (STS-44). He went on to senior NASA leadership, ultimately serving as the agency's Deputy Administrator and Acting Administrator, and earlier as Associate Administrator for Safety and Mission Assurance, the role responsible for the safety culture underpinning the nation's most critical space programs.For Starfighters, the fit is unusually precise. As a decorated U.S. Air Force test pilot, Gregory has direct operational experience with the F-104 Starfighter, the exact platform the company flies. An advisor who has both run NASA's safety apparatus and personally flown the aircraft at the center of the business is a rare combination, and it speaks directly to the discipline required in high-velocity flight testing."Fred has the perfect background to help Starfighters Space grow," said Tim Franta, Chief Executive Officer of Starfighters Space. "His unique experience as a pilot, astronaut, former Deputy Administrator of NASA, and especially as the former head of Safety and Mission Assurance at NASA provides a strategic perspective that very few individuals in the world can offer. Just as importantly, Fred deeply understands the F-104 platform and the rigorous culture of high-velocity flight testing."Franta added that Gregory's focus on safety culture is exactly what the company values most: "I couldn't be happier or in better hands than with Fred Gregory reviewing our safety and mission assurance practices and procedures. I truly appreciate his commitment to keeping us focused on what is most important."Gregory framed the opportunity in mission terms: "Starfighters Space possesses unique capabilities that can support a wide range of commercial, research, government, and national security missions. I am honored to join the Strategic Advisory Board and look forward to helping the Company continue expanding its role in space testing, space research, and future space-access opportunities."The Business Behind the HeadlineOperating from NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida, Starfighters maintains the world's only commercial fleet of flight-ready F-104 supersonic aircraft capable of sustained Mach 2+ operations. That fleet is the foundation for a business focused on high-speed flight operations, hypersonic testing, space research, and air-launch. Its centerpiece development program, STARLAUNCH, is a responsive airborne launch platform designed to support commercial, government, research, and national-security missions, with capabilities spanning payload deployment, airborne space testing, microgravity and high-speed flight environments, and reusable airborne launch infrastructure.The timing is notable. Defense and space-testing budgets are climbing, with the House Armed Services Committee signaling a roughly trillion-dollar baseline defense budget as a permanent planning floor and the Pentagon investing to expand hypersonic flight-test throughput, an area where capacity has become a binding constraint across the industry. A company that can put experimental payloads into high-speed flight environments quickly and repeatedly is positioned squarely in that demand. Adding an advisor of Gregory's stature is the kind of credibility marker that can matter when the customers are government agencies and defense programs.The Broader Space & Hypersonic TradeStarfighters is a small, specialized entrant in a sector drawing heavy institutional capital. Four names help frame the landscape, though each carries its own risk profile and none is a proxy for FJET. Karman Holdings (NYSE: KRMN) is the closest thematic fit: it designs payload-protection, propulsion, and interstage systems for missile-defense, hypersonics, and space-launch programs, and posted record fiscal 2025 revenue of about US$471.5 million, up roughly 37%, while raising 2026 guidance to the US$720–735 million range, a direct read on how fast hypersonic-related demand is growing. AST SpaceMobile (NASDAQ: ASTS) represents the well-capitalized new-space cohort: a direct-to-device satellite-broadband builder with roughly US$3.5 billion in cash and 2026 revenue guidance of US$150–200 million, it shows the scale of capital flowing into public space names.BlackSky Technology (NYSE: BKSY) anchors the defense-intelligence angle, providing real-time satellite imagery and analytics to government and intelligence customers, it recently won a multi-year, sole-source US$99 million U.S. government contract, underscoring the national-security spending FJET also targets. And Boeing (NYSE: BA) anchors the large-cap end as a diversified aerospace-and-defense incumbent with deep space and flight-test heritage, offering the steadier, established route into the same broad theme. Together they illustrate a sector being re-rated by defense priorities and commercial-space momentum, the current Starfighters is trying to ride with a genuinely differentiated asset.The Bottom LineAn advisory-board appointment is not a contract or a revenue event, and Starfighters remains an early-stage company executing an ambitious plan. But credibility compounds: when a former NASA Deputy Administrator who has personally flown your aircraft signs on to guide your safety and operations strategy, it sends a signal to the government and defense customers that matter most. The next markers to watch are how the advisory board fills out, progress on STARLAUNCH, and any movement from flight-test capability toward funded missions.SIGNAL OVER NOISESignal over noise.

Air India Accident investigation "nearing its conclusion", "final report expected to be released within a month"

https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/industry/transportation/airlines-/-aviation/air-india-dreamliner-crash-probe-in-last-stage-report-due-in-a-month-aviation-minister-naidu-says/articleshow/130954074.cms

The crash is under investigation by the Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau (AAIB).
"It has been almost a year, and the investigation is still being carried out very thoroughly. We need to understand one thing, whenever such an investigation takes place especially involving an international flight with foreign nationals on board, the final report can be questioned and scrutinized by any country or institution concerned," the Union Minister added.

My guess is that this AAIB will blame a Boeing component and not the actions of the pilot as the cause of the crash. The people over there will not place blame on the pilots. And I'll bet the NTSB will have LOTS to say about their investigation, if that turns out to be what happens.

The Defense Industrial Base Is Ramping at a Generational Pace -- and a Florida Air-Launch Operator Just Built the Engineering Layer to Fit Into ItMay 19, 2026 8:35 AM
PR Newswire (US) Issued on behalf of Starfighters Space, Inc.Record backlogs, raised guidance, Department of War strategic investments in propulsion capacity, multi-year framework agreements, and a $1 trillion-plus defense procurement environment are defining 2026. Starfighters Space (NYSE American: FJET) just engaged Integrated Launch Solutions to add launch, range, licensing and mission integration depth to its STARLAUNCH pathway as the U.S. defense and commercial space markets converge into a single capacity-constrained opportunity.CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla., May 19, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- USA News Group News Commentary — Strip away the press cycle and the defining feature of the 2026 defense and space landscape is straightforward: the customer is no longer the constraint. The Pentagon has the funding, the program authority, and the political mandate. The senior primes have the order book. What the entire system now needs is delivery capacity — the production lines, the integration engineering, the range coordination, the licensing throughput, and the operational tempo required to convert backlog into hardware on the ramp. That is the structural backdrop for the latest move from Starfighters Space, Inc. (NYSE American: FJET), the Cape Canaveral-based operator of the world's fastest fleet of commercial supersonic aircraft. The Company announced it has engaged Integrated Launch Solutions, Inc. ("ILS") to provide engineering and technical integration support as Starfighters advances the STARLAUNCH pathway from design and analysis toward flight and launch services. [1]ILS will serve as an extension of the Starfighters team, providing subject matter expertise across mission design, analysis, and simulation; systems engineering and technical integration; regulatory and safety compliance; and range integration. [1] The work is expected to support program planning, requirements definition, trajectory analysis, licensing strategy, range coordination and related integration activities. The ILS resource pool brings experience from Boeing, Lockheed Martin, United Launch Alliance, SpaceX and the U.S. Air Force, with prior work supporting the U.S. Air Force, the National Reconnaissance Office, NASA and commercial customers.For more information on Starfighters Space, read the entire USA News Group Report"STARLAUNCH is a pathway, and the pathway depends on execution," said Tim Franta, Chief Executive Officer of Starfighters Space, in the announcement. He framed the engagement as adding "process discipline and execution capacity required to expedite space launch development from concept through flight readiness." [1] The ILS work layers on top of the appointments earlier this month of Jose Arias as Vice President, Space Operations, and Catrina L. Medeiros as Director, STARLAUNCH Operations — both senior leaders drawn from Blue Origin's New Glenn program. [2]What makes this move materially significant is not the engagement itself — it is the scale of the demand environment Starfighters is building into. Across the senior aerospace and defense complex, Q1 2026 prints have been defined by record backlogs and explicit commentary on capacity expansion as the binding constraint.RTX Corporation (NYSE: RTX) reported Q1 2026 sales of $22.1 billion on April 21, 2026, up 9% versus the prior year and up 10% organically. [3] Raytheon booked $6.6 billion of awards in the quarter, including over $600 million for Patriot equipment to the Netherlands and more than $400 million from the U.S. Army for lower-tier air and missile defense sensors, with an additional $900 million in awards for Standard Missile and Tomahawk. Munitions output grew over 40% year-over-year, and Raytheon posted its 12th consecutive quarter of material growth. [4] CEO Chris Calio described five "landmark framework agreements" Raytheon signed with the Department of War for Tomahawk, AMRAAM, and the Standard Missile family — agreements management said would, once finalized, provide firm demand signals to support production ramps "well above existing rates over the next decade." [4] RTX raised its full-year 2026 outlook for adjusted sales and adjusted EPS on the print.L3Harris Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: LHX) reported Q1 2026 revenue of $5.74 billion on April 30, 2026 — up 12% year-over-year, with organic revenue growth of 15% — and posted contractual backlog of $40.7 billion, with a book-to-bill ratio for the quarter of 1.4. [5] Management raised full-year EPS guidance to $11.40 to $11.60. [6] In April, the Company closed a $1.0 billion strategic investment from the Department of War in its Missile Solutions (MSL) business, structured as a convertible preferred security to convert into equity at IPO. [5][6] The funds are earmarked for expanding and modernizing solid rocket motor production facilities in Camden, Arkansas; Huntsville, Alabama; and Orange, Virginia — facilities critical to manufacturing PAC-3, THAAD, Tomahawk, and Standard Missile systems. The carve-out missile entity has been named Axyv following a confidential S-1 filing, with the IPO targeting the second half of 2026. [6] L3Harris also disclosed the Hypersonic and Ballistic Tracking Space Sensor (HBTSS) successfully demonstrated tracking against a hypersonic target. [7]The Boeing Company (NYSE: BA) reported Q1 2026 revenue of $22.2 billion on April 22, 2026, with the Defense, Space & Security segment posting revenue of $7.6 billion — up 21% year-over-year — and operating margins improving to 3.1%. [8] During the quarter, Defense, Space & Security signed a seven-year framework agreement to expand PAC-3 Seeker production and announced a strategic partnership with Rheinmetall to offer the MQ-28 Ghost Bat to Germany. [8] In April 2026, the Boeing-built Space Launch System core stage rocket propelled the successful Artemis II mission to the Moon. [9] Backlog at Defense, Space & Security grew to a record $86 billion, with 27% representing orders from customers outside the U.S. On the earnings call, management noted higher demand in defense given increased operational tempo, framing it as a natural offset to potential commercial MRO weakness. [10]Voyager Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: VOYG) — a defense and space technology company best known for leading development of Starlab, the commercial space station being developed as a replacement for the ISS — has been positioning aggressively in the defense and national security segments. The Company priced its IPO at $31 per share in June 2025, raising $383 million, and saw shares close at $56.48 on the day of its public debut. [11] In its Q1 2026 print reported May 4, 2026, Voyager delivered net sales of $35.2 million and grew total backlog to a record $275.3 million, up 54% year-over-year, with first-quarter bookings of $45.2 million and a book-to-bill ratio of 1.3. [12] On the strength of that backlog, the Company raised its 2026 revenue guidance to a range of $230 million to $255 million, representing 39% to 53% year-over-year growth. [12] Voyager ended the quarter with $429.4 million in cash and total liquidity of $641.4 million. Starlab achieved four NASA milestones and received $24.0 million in NASA funding during the period. [12] Voyager also secured NASA's seventh Private Astronaut Mission in April 2026, designated VOYG-1, with launch targeted no earlier than 2028, and was awarded a contract with Raytheon to develop advanced technologies for the Standard Missile interceptor program. [13]What is most striking about RTX, L3Harris, Boeing's defense business, and Voyager is that none of these stories sits in isolation. They reflect a single thesis: in 2026, the U.S. defense industrial base is being asked to ramp production at a pace it has not been asked to deliver since the Cold War, and the bottleneck has moved from contract availability to integration capacity, range and licensing throughput, and operational tempo.For more information on Starfighters Space, read the entire USA News Group ReportThat is the gap Starfighters Space is positioning to address.The Asset, the Bench, and the Process Layer Now Behind STARLAUNCHStarfighters Space operates a fleet of seven modified F-104 supersonic aircraft from NASA's Kennedy Space Center, configured to act as a first-stage lifting platform that can carry payloads up to 45,000 feet for air launch to space. [1] The Company is the operator of the largest fleet of MACH 2+ capable aircraft in the world, and the only commercial operator capable of flying payloads at sustained MACH 2+ with the capability to launch those payloads to space. Its customer base includes Lockheed Martin, Meggitt, Space Florida, and the U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory.STARLAUNCH 1 is being developed as a sub-orbital vehicle designed to support short-duration microgravity missions and to serve as a pathfinder for future air-launched concepts. The Company has reported wind tunnel testing that demonstrated clean separation from the aircraft platform, followed by a Critical Design Review process. [1] Starfighters' Wind Tunnel in the Sky service uses the F-104 to fly as an airborne wind tunnel — a single 45-minute mission generates the equivalent of approximately 20 traditional 30-second ground wind tunnel runs, compressing what would otherwise take about ten days in a fixed-facility into less than an hour. [2]The ILS engagement now adds a deep bench of launch, range, licensing and mission integration experience, with prior work supporting the U.S. Air Force, the National Reconnaissance Office, NASA and commercial customers. [1] The recent Blue Origin appointments — Jose Arias and Catrina L. Medeiros — bring direct New Glenn program experience and, in Mr. Arias's case, a documented track record of compressing integration cycle time from 76 days to 13 days at Blue Origin. [2]This is what the assembly of an operationally proven team looks like when the underlying market is the U.S. defense, civil, and commercial space economy in a record-spending environment. The senior primes have signaled the demand. The Department of War has signaled the dollars. The framework agreements are in place. The bottleneck is execution.Starfighters Space (NYSE American: FJET) is building, in real time, the operational stack required to be one of the names that closes the gap.For more information on Starfighters Space, Inc. (NYSE American: FJET), visit usanewsgroup.com/fjet-landingCONTACT:USA News Group

U.S. stocks set for higher open as tech earnings boost sentiment: Dow Jones, S&P, Nasdaq, Wall Street FuturesApril 30, 2026 9:25 AM
IH Market News
U.S. stock futures are pointing to a stronger start on Thursday, suggesting markets could move higher after finishing the previous session with little overall direction.Early momentum appears driven by a positive market reaction to the latest earnings releases from major technology companies.Shares of Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOGL) are soaring 7.1% in premarket trading after the Google parent reported first-quarter revenue above expectations.E-commerce giant Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) is also climbing 3.7% ahead of the open after delivering quarterly results that topped analyst forecasts.Qualcomm (NASDAQ:QCOM) is seeing notable premarket gains as well, following better-than-expected fiscal second-quarter earnings.In contrast, shares of Meta Platforms (NASDAQ:META) are dropping 7.8% in premarket trading. While the company beat expectations for the quarter, its increased capital spending outlook weighed on investor sentiment.A decline in oil prices is also supporting early gains on Wall Street, with U.S. crude futures falling more than 1% despite ongoing concerns tied to the Middle East conflict.



Markets ended previous session mixed



After Tuesday’s pullback, Wednesday’s session saw stocks move without clear direction. Both the Nasdaq and the S&P 500 fluctuated around the unchanged line before closing mixed.The tech-heavy Nasdaq edged up 9.44 points, or less than 0.1%, to 24,673.24, while the S&P 500 slipped 2.85 points, also less than 0.1%, to 7,135.95.Meanwhile, the Dow Jones Industrial Average declined more noticeably, falling 280.12 points, or 0.6%, to 48,861.81, pressured by sharp losses in Boeing (NYSE:BA), IBM (NYSE:IBM) and Travelers (NYSE:TRV).



Investors cautious ahead of key catalysts



The subdued performance reflected investor caution ahead of major earnings announcements from large-cap technology companies.Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOGL), Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN), Meta Platforms (NASDAQ:META) and Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) were among the firms reporting results after the close.Market participants were also focused on the latest policy decision from the Federal Reserve, which kept interest rates unchanged in a closely divided vote.The Fed maintained its target range for the federal funds rate at 3.50% to 3.75%, citing its dual mandate of maximum employment and stable inflation around 2% over the long term.Beth Hammack, Neel Kashkari and Lorie Logan supported holding rates steady but “did not support inclusion of an easing bias in the statement at this time.”The trio reportedly objected to language referencing “additional adjustments to the target range,” given that the Fed’s most recent actions have been rate cuts.



Sector moves show divergence



Despite the broader market’s muted tone, some sectors posted strong gains. Networking stocks led the advance, with the NYSE Arca Networking Index jumping 4.8% to a record close.Energy shares also rallied alongside oil prices, pushing the NYSE Arca Oil Index up 3.2%.Semiconductor, computer hardware and oil services stocks showed solid gains as well, while gold, airline and steel stocks moved lower during the session.Alphabet stock priceAmazon stock priceQualcomm stock priceMeta stock priceBoeing stock priceIBM stock priceTravelers Companies stock priceMicrosoft stock price

Boeing, U.S. Navy Achieve Successful MQ-25A Test FlightApril 27, 2026 9:48 AM
PR Newswire (US)

Milestone advances the program toward carrier integration and operational testingST. LOUIS, April 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Boeing [NYSE: BA] and the U.S. Navy have successfully completed the first test flight of an operational MQ-25A Stingray™. The milestone advances the Stingray closer to aircraft carrier operations and marks the beginning of a new era in naval aviation.



During the two-hour flight, the unmanned aircraft successfully demonstrated its ability to autonomously taxi, take off, fly, land and respond to commands from the Unmanned Carrier Aviation Mission Control System MD-5 Ground Control Station (GCS). Boeing and U.S. Navy Air Vehicle Pilots facilitated the mission by sending the aircraft commands and then monitored its performance from the GCS at MidAmerica St. Louis Airport in Mascoutah, Ill., where the program is based. Once airborne, the Stingray executed a pre-determined mission plan that validated its flight controls, navigation, and safe integration with the GCS."Today's successful flight builds on years of learning from our MQ-25A T1 prototype and represents a major maturation of the program," said Dan Gillian, vice president and general manager, Boeing Air Dominance. "The MQ-25A is the most complex autonomous system ever developed for the carrier environment, and this historic achievement advances us closer to safely integrating the Stingray into the carrier air wing.""The first flight of the MQ-25A is a landmark achievement for the Navy-Boeing team and a critical step toward the future of the carrier air wing," said Rear Adm. Tony Rossi, who oversees the Program Executive Office for Unmanned Aviation and Strike Weapons. "This flight demonstrates our progress in delivering a carrier-based refueling capability that will significantly extend the reach and lethality of our fleet."The MQ-25A is the Navy's gateway to integrating unmanned aircraft on the carrier deck, enabling manned-unmanned teaming. Its autonomous aerial refueling capability will significantly extend the operational range of the carrier air wing and allow F/A-18 Super Hornets currently performing the aerial refueling role to focus on their primary role as a multi-role strike fighter.The aircraft is the first of four Engineering Development Model aircraft that will be delivered to the Navy under the original $805M Engineering and Manufacturing Development contract."Watching our first Navy aircraft complete an autonomous flight underscores what disciplined teamwork and rigorous testing deliver," said Troy Rutherford, vice president, Boeing MQ-25 program. "Today would not have been possible without the hard work and dedication of our Boeing, Navy, and industry team. Together, we are redefining the future of naval aviation and pushing the boundaries of what's possible with autonomy."Boeing and the Navy will conduct additional test flights out of MidAmerica St. Louis Airport to further validate the aircraft's flight controls and capabilities before transitioning to Naval Air Station Patuxent River, Maryland, to prepare for carrier qualifications.# # #A leading global aerospace company and top U.S. exporter, Boeing develops, manufactures and services commercial airplanes, defense products and space systems for customers in more than 150 countries.

Futures Signal Continued Gains for Wall Street: Dow Jones, S&P, NasdaqApril 17, 2026 9:23 AM
IH Market News
U.S. stock futures are indicating a higher open on Friday, suggesting that markets may build on the upward momentum seen in recent sessions.Investor sentiment continues to be supported by optimism that the U.S. conflict with Iran could be nearing an end, following recent remarks from President Donald Trump.Speaking at an event in Las Vegas on Thursday, Trump said the “war in Iran is going along swimmingly” and “should be ending pretty soon.”While similar upbeat comments have been made throughout the conflict, they continue to underpin positive sentiment in equity markets.“If a resolution can be found in the near term, then perhaps the market will have been right to see this as a blip rather than something which justifies a more significant derating of corporate valuations,” said Russ Mould.He added, “Only time will tell, though sooner rather than later there will need to be evidence of Donald Trump’s repeated claims that the war will be ending soon coming to fruition.”Markets are also being supported by expectations of solid corporate earnings, ahead of a busy week of results from major companies.Among those set to report are 3M (NYSE:MMM), UnitedHealth (NYSE:UNH), AT&T (NYSE:T), Boeing (NYSE:BA), IBM Corp. (NYSE:IBM), Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA), American Express (NYSE:AXP), and Intel (NASDAQ:INTC).However, Netflix (NASDAQ:NFLX) shares are down 8.9% in premarket trading after the company delivered strong first-quarter results but issued weaker-than-expected guidance for the second quarter.On Thursday, stocks traded unevenly but maintained an overall positive tone, with major indices ending moderately higher. The Nasdaq and S&P 500 both extended recent gains, closing at fresh record highs.All three major benchmarks finished in positive territory: the Nasdaq rose 86.69 points, or 0.4%, to 24,102.70; the S&P 500 gained 18.33 points, or 0.3%, to 7,041.28; and the Dow Jones Industrial Average added 115.00 points, or 0.2%, to 48,578.72.The sustained rally has helped the Nasdaq and S&P 500 recover fully from the sharp declines seen following the outbreak of the U.S.-Iran conflict.Investors also remain hopeful about the possibility of renewed peace talks between Washington and Tehran, although no official meeting has yet been confirmed.Reports suggest both sides may consider extending the current ceasefire by two weeks to allow more time for negotiations.Further boosting sentiment, Trump said in a post on Truth Social that Israel and Lebanon have agreed to a 10-day ceasefire.He also noted that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Lebanese President Joseph Aoun have been invited to the White House for peace discussions.Iran has continued to insist that Israel halt its attacks on Hezbollah in Lebanon as part of any ongoing ceasefire agreement.“It’s like the events of the past month-and-a-half have been placed in the rearview mirror by investors,” said Dan Coatsworth. “The market’s sanguine perspective may be tested if the rhetoric about an end to the fighting isn’t matched by reality sooner rather than later.”On the economic front, the Federal Reserve reported that U.S. industrial production unexpectedly declined in March.Industrial output fell 0.5% during the month, following a 0.7% increase in February. Economists had expected a modest 0.1% rise. The decline was partly driven by notable drops in utilities and mining production.In sector performance, transportation stocks stood out, pushing the Dow Jones Transportation Average up 4.1% to a record closing high.J.B. Hunt (NASDAQ:JBHT) was a key contributor, with shares jumping 6.3% after reporting better-than-expected quarterly results.Telecom stocks also showed strong gains, with the NYSE Arca North American Telecom Index rising 3.8%.Strength was also seen in networking, hardware, software, and oil-related stocks, while airline stocks moved notably lower.3M stock priceUnitedHealth Group stock priceAT&T stock priceBoeing stock priceIBM stock priceTesla stock priceAmerican Express stock priceIntel stock priceNetflix stock priceJ.B.

Boeing secures seven-year deal to expand missile seeker outputApril 1, 2026 9:35 AM
IH Market News
Boeing (NYSE:BA) has signed a seven-year framework agreement with the U.S. Department of Defense aimed at tripling production of PAC-3 missile seekers, critical components that allow interceptor missiles to detect and track incoming threats.The agreement forms part of the Pentagon’s Arsenal of Freedom initiative, which seeks to reinforce the U.S. defense industrial base. PAC-3 seekers are integrated into interceptors designed to counter a range of threats, including aircraft, hypersonic weapons, and both ballistic and cruise missiles.To support the expansion, Boeing has already invested more than $200 million since 2024 to boost production capacity at its facility in Huntsville, Alabama, including the addition of a 35,000-square-foot manufacturing expansion. The framework deal also leaves room for further investment by the company across different stages of the production process.“Across the nation and around the world, we’re making significant investments in people and facilities to meet the evolving security needs of the United States and its allies,” said Steve Parker, president and CEO of Boeing Defense, Space & Security.Under the agreement, Boeing plans to grow its workforce and add specialized manufacturing roles. The company also noted that it relies on a domestic supply chain for the production of these systems.Boeing will work alongside the U.S. Department of Defense and Lockheed Martin, which acts as the prime contractor for the PAC-3 Missile Segment Enhancement system. The partners will begin ramping up production immediately while preparing for a longer-term multi-year contract expected later this year.Bob Ciesla, vice president of Boeing Precision Engagement Systems, said the company increased deliveries by more than 30% in 2025. The new agreement positions Boeing to significantly scale output of PAC-3 seekers while continuing to expand its operations in Huntsville.Boeing stock price

China's Rare Earth Grip on the U.S. Military Is About to BreakMarch 2, 2026 9:58 AM
PR Newswire (Canada)

OilPrice.com Market CommentaryNEW YORK, March 2, 2026 /CNW/ -- In a typical Chinese rare earth processing plant, 200 workers move through a maze of massive chemical tanks, risking life and limb to produce the materials that power everything from fighter jets and missile components to cellphones.  Hundreds of these facilities operate across China, and they give Beijing overwhelming control over the single most critical choke point in the modern industrial economy.  Companies mentioned in this release include: REalloys Inc. (ALOY), Lockheed Martin Corporation (NYSE: LMT), RTX Corporation (NYSE: RTX), The Boeing Company (NYSE: BA), Northrop Grumman Corporation (NYSE: NOC), General Dynamics Corporation (NYSE: GD).But now, in Saskatchewan, Canada, a hi-tech plant of engineers and chemists is beginning to break that monopoly.The facility is built around an AI enabled operating system that minimizes waste, reduces exposure to hazardous materials, and creates a cleaner, more secure processing chain.And one company has locked in exclusive rights to the vast majority of what that plant produces.  That company is REalloys (ALOY).It operates in the part of the rare earth supply chain that barely exists outside China - the step where strategic independence is actually won or lost.As President Trump pointed out, it isn't rare earths that are critical to national security, it's the "rare processing" industry.Digging minerals out of the ground is relatively easy. Turning them into finished metals and alloys for fighter jets, drones, missile guidance systems, and advanced radar is something else entirely. That's where Western supply chains break down, and where REalloys is fighting to make a difference.The company operates its own metallization facility in Euclid, Ohio, built on nearly a decade of R&D with the U.S. Department of Energy and Department of Defense. It also holds an exclusive offtake agreement with the Saskatchewan Research Council (SRC), the government-backed group behind the AI-powered processing plant.Here's how the chain works: SRC refines rare earth feedstock sourced from allied nations across four continents. REalloys takes delivery in Ohio, converts those metals into defense-grade alloys and magnets, and has confirmed contracts with the U.S. defense industrial base.Every critical step happens on North American soil - with no Chinese chemicals, no Chinese technology, and no Chinese capital.As REalloys' Head of R&D, Andy Sherman, puts it: "Concentrates are commodities. Materials are commitments."The Pentagon doesn't buy rocks. It buys finished, defense-qualified materials.And that's exactly what this supply chain delivers.How China Accidentally Created Its Biggest CompetitionWhen REalloys (ALOY) processing partner began developing its first commercial rare earth separation facility, China controlled the overwhelming majority of global export technology. Following China's 2020 export control law, access to that technology became restricted.So the team ultimately designed and built its own separation, control and automation systems domestically – establishing independent Western rare earth processing capability.What they ended up with was an alternative to Chinese technology with better output and without the supply chain risk. As a result, the facility has automated the most labor-intensive step of rare earth processing, separating up to 17 chemically similar elements into the specific rare earths you need.In a Chinese plant, this process requires over 200 workers managing chemical tanks and adjusting valves manually. The Saskatchewan facility was able to reduce this by approximately 80 workers and an AI that receives thousands of data points every second and can make the necessary adjustments  that no human team could coordinate.The plant was deliberately built at about 25-30% the capacity of a full-scale Chinese commercial facility, essentially a demonstration plant to prove the technology. At a fraction of the size, however, it already has the capability to produce much higher purity metals and higher output than Chinese plants.Commercial production is expected to start in early 2027, once the plant reaches full production REalloys (ALOY) expects to receive approximately 460 tonnes of defense-grade rare earth metals per year. That material becomes the permanent magnets inside the next generation of Western defense systems like fighter jets, missiles, and drones.Why This Matters Right NowMost people have heard that China dominates the rare earths market, about 90% of the world's rare earths are processed there. What they haven't thought through is what that actually means when the supply gets cut off.Japan figured this out decades ago and built strategic stockpiles covering two to three years of national consumption. The United States, however, has stockpiled nothing. Neither has Europe.We've been running on just-in-time supply from a country that issues rare earth export licenses on a monthly basis. If Beijing is happy with you this month, you get your allocation. If they're not, they cut it.When China briefly restricted exports last year, a Ford plant was forced to shut down almost immediately. When Trump threatened 100% tariffs, China's response was simple: no more processed rare earths. Trump backed off very quickly.Now consider the effects on the military side. In 2024, Ukraine produced 1.2 million combat drones, every single magnet in every one of them was manufactured in China. An F-35 carries 435 kilos of rare earths. A next-gen U.S. destroyer needs 4.5 tons. A nuclear submarine needs 1.5 tons.Without a secure supply of these materials, none of those systems get built, which means China effectively holds a kill switch over Western defense production.The Pentagon knows it, too. That's why new procurement rules taking effect January 1, 2027, will ban Chinese-sourced rare earths from the entire U.S. defense supply chain, from the mine all the way through to the finished product. That means every defense contractor in the country will need a qualified, non-Chinese source. REalloys is positioning to be that source."1% Reliance on China Is 100% Reliance on China"There's a reality in the rare earth industry that most companies haven't seemed to fully consider: 1% reliance on China is 100% reliance on China. If any single input in your supply chain comes from Beijing, your entire operation is one phone call away from shutting down. REalloys' (ALOY) supply chain has no Chinese inputs at any stage, processing technology, furnaces, chemicals, AI systems, or consumables. All of it is sourced outside China.Most of the competition can't say the same. You can mine rare earths in the U.S., build your own processing plant, and still be one supply disruption away from a shutdown. That's because critical parts like graphite anodes need replacing several times a week, and right now they only come from China. Starting from zero, it would realistically take five to seven years to build what REalloys already has.What Makes This Opportunity DifferentREalloys has exclusive rights to defense-grade rare earth metals through the Saskatchewan facility, including the heavy rare earths, Dysprosium and Terbium, that dramatically increase a magnet's performance. Light rare earths go into washing machines and consumer EVs. Heavy rare earths, on the other hand, go into F-35 fighter jet engines and missile guidance systems. REalloys plays the scarcer, more strategically critical end of the market, at a fraction of the valuation.Their Ohio facility converts those metals into finished alloys and magnets, and scaled production is expected to scale up to 18,000 tonnes per year of heavy rare earth permanent magnets. At that level, REalloys expects to become the largest producer of refined Dysprosium and Terbium outside of China.Washington has taken notice as well. REalloys has secured a $200 million letter of intent from the U.S. EXIM Bank. And the board reads less like a commodities company and more like a national security briefing, including a former Vice Chief of Staff of the U.S. Army, the President of GM Defense, an executive formerly from top defense companies like Raytheon and Boeing, the former Premier of Saskatchewan, and the President of Palantir Canada.The Pentagon's deadline is now months away, while competitors are still 5 to 7 years behind. REalloys (ALOY) expects to be the only company with a fully operational, non-Chinese, mine-to-magnet supply chain when it arrives, powered by six people and an AI that outperforms plants with 80 workers on the floor.Despite what most believe, the rare earth story was never about who has the raw material in the ground. It's about who can turn the raw material into something the Pentagon can actually use, and right now, that answer seems to be REalloys.Here are other companies in the defense sector that people should be watching closely over the coming months:Lockheed Martin Corporation (NYSE: LMT) remains the backbone of the U.S. defense industrial base, anchored by its leadership in advanced combat aircraft, missile systems, and integrated air and missile defense. The company's F-35 Lightning II program continues to serve as the single largest weapons system program in the world, supplying not only the U.S. military but also a growing list of allied nations.Beyond fighter jets, Lockheed is deeply embedded in missile defense architecture through systems such as THAAD and PAC-3 interceptors, both of which have seen rising demand amid renewed Middle East and Indo-Pacific tensions.RTX Corporation (NYSE: RTX), formed from the merger of Raytheon and United Technologies, has evolved into one of the most diversified defense and aerospace platforms globally. Its portfolio spans missile defense systems, advanced radars, aircraft engines, avionics, and cybersecurity solutions, giving it exposure across air, land, sea, and space domains.Raytheon's Patriot missile system remains one of the most widely deployed air defense platforms worldwide and has seen renewed demand amid heightened missile threats. RTX has also benefited from increased orders for interceptors and replenishment contracts, particularly as governments seek to strengthen layered defense systems.The company has recently focused on stabilizing margins following supply chain disruptions and cost overruns that impacted certain aerospace programs. With backlog levels remaining robust, RTX's revenue visibility remains strong, supported by long-term government contracts and allied defense procurement.While The Boeing Company (NYSE: BA) is widely known for commercial aviation, its defense, space, and security division remains a cornerstone of U.S. military procurement. The company manufactures the P-8 Poseidon maritime patrol aircraft, the KC-46 aerial refueling tanker, Apache helicopters, and various satellite and space systems critical to U.S. defense infrastructure.As geopolitical tensions elevate demand for surveillance, refueling capacity, and integrated aerospace systems, Boeing's defense division provides an important stabilizing component to the broader company profile. While commercial aviation cycles remain volatile, Boeing's defense segment ensures long-duration contract visibility and sustained Pentagon exposure.Northrop Grumman Corporation (NYSE: NOC) occupies a critical role in high-end aerospace and strategic systems. The company is the prime contractor for the B-21 Raider stealth bomber, one of the most strategically significant modernization programs in the U.S. Air Force's history. That program alone provides decades of potential production and sustainment revenue.Northrop also leads in unmanned aerial systems, missile defense integration, and space-based sensor technologies. Its exposure to next-generation aerospace and advanced stealth platforms places it at the center of U.S. long-term deterrence strategy.General Dynamics Corporation (NYSE: GD) combines shipbuilding, combat vehicles, aerospace, and IT systems under one diversified umbrella. The company's Electric Boat division produces Virginia-class submarines and Columbia-class ballistic missile submarines — programs that anchor U.S. naval deterrence.Recent submarine contracts extend production visibility well into the next decade, while geopolitical tensions continue to emphasize naval force projection and undersea capability.

Hypothetical Scenario of a Coordinated Missile Saturation Attack and Strategic Rationality

In the context of rising tensions in the Middle East, an increasingly discussed question is the following: what would happen if Iran, potentially supported through advanced weapons transfers from Russia or China, conducted a coordinated large-scale missile attack against a U.S. naval platform?

From a purely military-technical perspective, every defense system has a saturation point. If a sufficiently large number of missiles are launched within a compressed time window, there is a theoretical possibility that some may penetrate even a layered defense architecture. U.S. carrier strike groups operate with multi-layered protection, including early detection systems, airborne fighter cover, Aegis-equipped escort vessels, long- and medium-range interceptors, electronic warfare capabilities, and close-in defensive systems. No defense structure, however advanced, can guarantee absolute impermeability.

Yet military feasibility does not automatically translate into strategic rationality.

The deliberate transfer of sophisticated weapon systems with the intent of enabling a direct strike on a U.S. platform would represent an extremely high political risk for any state identified as the supplier. In an era of satellite surveillance, electronic monitoring, and advanced intelligence analysis, the complete concealment of complex weapons transfers is highly unlikely. Confirmed involvement by a major power in the sinking of a U.S. carrier would carry significant escalation potential.

From a strategic standpoint, neither Russia nor China has a rational interest in triggering open military confrontation with the United States. Both prioritize economic stability, energy flows, and the avoidance of uncontrolled systemic escalation. Likewise, Iran must balance deterrence signaling with regime survival considerations. A full-scale war with the United States would present existential risks.

Even in a hypothetical scenario involving serious damage to a U.S. naval platform, American strategic dominance would not automatically collapse. U.S. power rests on a combination of global basing infrastructure, strategic submarines, air superiority, technological leadership, alliance networks, and financial-system influence. While a successful strike could produce a substantial psychological effect and challenge perceptions of invulnerability, long-term geopolitical outcomes would depend primarily on escalation control and response dynamics.

In conclusion, a coordinated saturation attack breaching naval defenses is theoretically possible. However, the political, strategic, and systemic costs associated with such an action make it an exceptionally high-risk path for all actors involved. In a multipolar international system, consequence calculus often outweighs pure military capability.

Odd. Boeing moves defense unit HQ back to St Louis From Virginia. Effective now.

"Boeing named its St. Louis site the headquarters of the Boeing Defense, Space & Security business, emphasizing the company leadership’s commitment to being present and engaged with teammates who are designing, producing and delivering defense and space products for customers in the U.S. and around the world.

New luxury airline makes first direct jet purchase to grow tourism and economy on Vietnam's largest islandWASHINGTON, Feb. 18, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Boeing [NYSE: BA] and Sun PhuQuoc Airways today announced the new Vietnam-based carrier has ordered up to 40 787 Dreamliner jets to serve as the backbone of its widebody fleet. The airline will leverage the ultra-efficient, long-range 787 Dreamliner to connect international travelers to its Vietnam hub at Phu Quoc International Airport.







"Our partnership with Boeing establishes a strong foundation for building a world-class airline that operates in sync with the tourism and resort ecosystem Sun Group has developed," said Dang Minh Truong, chairman of Sun Group, the airline's Vietnam-based parent company. "We selected the Boeing 787-9 not only for its superior operational performance, but because it is the most suitable aircraft type to realize our vision of bringing Phu Quoc to the world and bringing the world to Phu Quoc."General Secretary To Lam and U.S. government representatives joined airline and Boeing leaders to recognize Sun PhuQuoc's previously unidentified purchase, which is the largest Boeing widebody order in Vietnamese history.With a range of 7,565 nautical miles (14,010 km), the 787-9 will position Sun PhuQuoc Airways to efficiently connect Phu Quoc with major cities and other tourist destinations across Asia, Europe and North America.The 787 Dreamliner delivers superior comfort to passengers with the largest windows of any widebody airplane flying today and air that is pressurized at a lower cabin altitude, allowing passengers to arrive at their destinations feeling more refreshed."We are excited to work with Sun PhuQuoc Airways as they join other global airlines in flying the 787 Dreamliner, which connects the most countries of any widebody fleet," said Stephanie Pope, president and CEO of Boeing Commercial Airplanes. "The 787-9's unmatched range, fuel efficiency and passenger comfort will give the airline flexibility to open new long-haul markets, lower operating costs and contribute to local tourism growth."Since airlines began flying the 787 Dreamliner family in 2011, the global fleet has helped launch more than 535+ new nonstop routes globally and carried more than 1.2 billion passengers, further enhancing connectivity and expanding global travel options.With Southeast Asia poised for significant air travel growth over the next 20 years, Vietnam is expected to be the region's fastest-growing aviation market with annual passenger growth of nearly 8% by 2030.About Sun PhuQuoc Airways
As Vietnam's first airline named after an island, Sun PhuQuoc Airways is developed by Sun Group under a "resort aviation" model with a hub-and-spoke network strategy. The airline directly connects Phu Quoc to major domestic and international tourism and economic centers through non-stop flights, competitive fares, and a seamless experience integrated with the island's comprehensive ecosystem.

The non-GAAP financial information presented excludes certain significant items that may not be indicative of, or are unrelated to, results from our ongoing business operations. We believe that these non-GAAP measures provide investors with additional insight into the company's ongoing business performance. These non-GAAP measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the related GAAP measures, and other companies may define such measures differently. We encourage investors to review our financial statements and publicly-filed reports in their entirety and not to rely on any single financial measure. The following definitions are provided: Core Operating Earnings/(Loss), Core Operating Margins and Core Earnings/(Loss) Per Share Core operating earnings/(loss) is defined as GAAP Earnings/(loss) from operations excluding the FAS/CAS service cost adjustment. The FAS/CAS service cost adjustment represents the difference between the Financial Accounting Standards (FAS) pension and postretirement service costs calculated under GAAP and costs allocated to the business segments. Core operating margins is defined as Core operating earnings/(loss) expressed as a percentage of revenue. Core earnings/(loss) per share is defined as GAAP Diluted earnings/(loss) per share excluding the net earnings/(loss) per share impact of the FAS/CAS service cost adjustment and Non-operating pension and postretirement expenses. Non-operating pension and postretirement expenses represent the components of net periodic benefit costs other than service cost. Pension costs allocated to BDS and BGS businesses supporting government customers are computed in accordance with U.S. Government Cost Accounting Standards (CAS), which employ different actuarial assumptions and accounting conventions than GAAP. CAS costs are allocable to government contracts. Other postretirement benefit costs are allocated to all business segments based on CAS, which is generally based on benefits paid. Management uses core operating earnings/(loss), core operating margins and core earnings/(loss) per share for purposes of evaluating and forecasting underlying business performance. Management believes these core measures provide investors additional insights into operational performance as they exclude non-service pension and post-retirement costs, which primarily represent costs driven by market factors and costs not allocable to government contracts. A reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measure is provided on page 12 and 13.Free Cash FlowFree cash flow is GAAP operating cash flow reduced by capital expenditures for property, plant and equipment. Management believes free cash flow provides investors with an important perspective on the cash available for shareholders, debt repayment, and acquisitions after making the capital investments required to support ongoing business operations and long term value creation. Free cash flow does not represent the residual cash flow available for discretionary expenditures as it excludes certain mandatory expenditures such as repayment of maturing debt. Management uses free cash flow as a measure to assess both business performance and overall liquidity. See Table 2 on page 2 for a reconciliation of free cash flow to the most directly comparable GAAP measure, operating cash flow.Caution Concerning Forward-Looking StatementsThis press release contains "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

The Apex Defender: Why Strategic M&A and Autonomous Tech are Driving a $2.7T ValuationJanuary 26, 2026 3:40 PM
PR Newswire (US)

Issued on behalf of VisionWave Holdings, Inc.VANCOUVER, BC, Jan. 26, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- USA News Group News Commentary – Global defense expenditure reached an unprecedented $2.718 trillion in 2024, marking the steepest year-over-year rise since the Cold War as NATO members alone deployed $1.506 trillion to accelerate structural consolidation across autonomous weapons platforms and aerospace aftermarket networks[1]. The artificial intelligence defense market is projected to expand to $22.75 billion by 2029, driven by developments in autonomous weapon systems and high-velocity decision logic that collapse threat evaluation timelines from minutes into microseconds[2]. This convergence positions VisionWave Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: VWAV), Boeing (NYSE: BA), TransDigm Group (NYSE: TDG), Booz Allen Hamilton (NYSE: BAH), and BAE Systems (OTCPK: BAESY) as specialized engineering nodes across the defense modernization supercycle.







Aerospace and defense analysts forecast aftermarket MRO demand will expand at a 3.2% CAGR through 2035, with US defense AI spending projected to reach $5.8 billion by 2029 as operators prioritize integrated mission systems and engine sustainment contracts[3]. The Department of Defense's $961.6 billion FY2026 budget request and the proposed $175 billion Golden Dome space-based missile defense architecture underscore how layered defensive systems and proprietary command-control intellectual property now establish the primary valuation floor for defense primes navigating the strategic M&A landscape[4].VisionWave Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: VWAV) is building a comprehensive autonomy platform that combines advanced radio-frequency sensing, computational acceleration, and industrial robotics across defense and critical energy infrastructure markets worldwide.The company recently acquired qSpeed, a proprietary computational acceleration engine independently valued at $99.6 million by BDO Consulting Group. This technology addresses a fundamental challenge in modern defense systems: the decision latency that exists between threat detection and response execution. In battlefield scenarios where microseconds determine outcomes, qSpeed is designed to eliminate computational bottlenecks that traditionally slow threat assessment and targeting processes.VisionWave has announced initial progress integrating qSpeed across multiple operational platforms, including WaveStrike™ RF-enabled fire control systems and Argus™ counter-drone technology. The system works by prioritizing decision-critical computations first, enabling rapid initial conclusions that continuously refine themselves as additional data becomes available. This intelligent approach compresses threat evaluation timelines from minutes into seconds without requiring operators to replace existing hardware infrastructure, reducing both cost and deployment friction.For WaveStrike specifically, qSpeed integration delivers RF-informed, operator-assisted targeting capabilities by collapsing computation cycles required for range estimation and lead calculation. The result is instantaneous targeting guidance during high-velocity engagement scenarios, providing human operators with real-time firing solutions when they need them most.VisionWave's intellectual property position strengthened significantly with the issuance of U.S. Patent No. 12,499,578, which secures enforceable protection for the proprietary radio-frequency sensing and artificial intelligence architecture powering both Argus and its SkyWeave high-frequency communications backbone. This patent establishes defensible market positioning in the rapidly growing space-enabled counter-UAS sector.Beyond defense applications, VisionWave is executing a strategic expansion into Southern Europe through its Solar Drone Ltd. subsidiary. The company has secured follow-on hardware orders and established distribution agreements covering Italy and Spain, targeting critical infrastructure maintenance markets across the region.VisionWave's universal Adaptation Kit enables seamless integration of heavy-duty payloads exceeding 200 pounds into any third-party drone fleet. This drone-agnostic approach allows infrastructure operators to deploy VisionWave technology for high-voltage insulator cleaning and power grid maintenance without replacing their existing equipment investments.To accelerate commercialization timelines, VisionWave plans to invest up to $10 million in U.S.-based development over the next 6 to 12 months, pushing qSpeed toward production readiness while simultaneously expanding its addressable market across defense and energy infrastructure sectors.CONTINUED… Read this and more news for VisionWave Holdings at:  https://usanewsgroup.com/2025/09/11/the-ai-defense-technology-developments-potentially-relevant-in-2025-26/Boeing (NYSE: BA) and the Royal Australian Air Force have successfully executed a force integrated air-to-air autonomous weapon engagement from an MQ-28 Collaborative Combat Aircraft. The landmark mission involved an MQ-28 Ghost Bat teaming with a RAAF E-7A Wedgetail and F/A-18F Super Hornet to destroy a fighter-class target drone using a Raytheon AIM-120 AMRAAM missile, marking the first time an autonomous aircraft has completed an air-to-air weapon engagement."This is the first time an autonomous aircraft has completed an air-to-air weapon engagement with an AIM-120 missile, establishing the MQ-28 as a mature combat capable CCA," said Amy List, managing director of Boeing Defence Australia. "This latest achievement proves the advantage specialized CCA platforms bring to defense forces' mission effectiveness, delivering increased operational mass and data exchange for informed decision-making while reducing cost and crewed pilot risk."The mission demonstrated sophisticated crewed-uncrewed teaming with the E-7A operator maintaining custodianship of the MQ-28 while the F/A-18F provided sensor coverage and shared targeting data across all three platforms. Boeing implemented open architectures and an advanced digital ecosystem to develop the necessary hardware, software and mission systems in under eight months.TransDigm Group (NYSE: TDG) has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Jet Parts Engineering and Victor Sierra Aviation Holdings for approximately $2.2 billion in cash including certain tax benefits. The companies are leading independent designers and manufacturers of proprietary PMA and OEM-alternative aerospace aftermarket parts, collectively generating approximately $280 million in revenue for calendar year 2025 with nearly 100% commercial aftermarket revenue across commercial airlines, business aviation and general aviation sectors."We are excited to have an agreement to acquire Jet Parts Engineering and Victor Sierra, two well run, profitable businesses that will fit well within TransDigm," said Mike Lisman, CEO of TransDigm. "The Companies' highly engineered, proprietary OEM-alternative parts and services generate nearly 100% commercial aftermarket revenue."JPE serves commercial, regional and cargo airlines with proprietary PMA components across major commercial aerospace platforms from facilities in Washington, Texas, New York, Florida, Alabama and the United Kingdom with approximately 300 employees. VSA offers a complete line of highly engineered PMA, custom design and OEM products through brands including McFarlane Aviation, Tempest Aero Group and Aviation Products Systems from facilities in Kansas, North Carolina and Illinois with approximately 400 employees.Booz Allen Hamilton (NYSE: BAH) has announced a new collaboration with Andreessen Horowitz to strengthen America's technical supremacy.
