CompaniesNEW YORK, July 20 (Reuters) - Bristol Myers Squibb (BMY.N), opens new tab said on Monday it is buying the latest-generation computing system from chip company Nvidia (NVDA.O), opens new tab to support its use of artificial intelligence across its drug discovery and development operations.
The drugmaker said it will be the first life sciences company to buy an Nvidia DGX SuperPOD based on its Vera Rubin systems. The chipmaker unveiled its Vera Rubin architecture earlier this year as the successor to its current generation of AI computing systems.

Financial terms of the Bristol Myers investment were not disclosed. It builds on a smaller SuperPOD system the drugmaker bought from Nvidia, which is around two or three generations behind Vera Rubin, BMS executives said in an interview.
Pharmaceutical companies are increasingly investing in AI infrastructure to try to identify drug targets faster and improve the odds that experimental drugs succeed in clinical trials.
Robert Plenge, chief research officer at Bristol Myers, said the new capabilities would allow the company to cycle through many more potential drug candidates early in the drug development cycle.
"Maybe before we could do 10 and now we can do dozens," he said.
Plenge also said that the company is already using AI tools to cut the time to make medicines to test in trials by 20% to 30%. That could even reach 50% in coming years, he said.
He said one experimental sickle cell disease treatment currently in early clinical development by the company would likely not have been discovered if not for AI-enabled research.
Greg Meyers, the company's chief digital and technology officer, said the investment was driven in part by rapidly growing computing demands as Bristol deploys larger AI models across its research organization. It uses AI in all of its small-molecule and most of its large-molecule programs.
He also said the new system will be more energy efficient.
"When you host these things, you have to pay an electric bill," Meyers said. "Think of it as 10 times more compute capacity per watt spent ... Electricity is not getting cheaper."

Micron (MU +0.04%) has been an incredible performer this year, with the stock tripling. However, it has sold off by more than 25% in recent weeks as fears grow regarding the health of its business. While it's fair to be cautious, Micron has already told investors that there's no need to fear due to the long-term outlook.
Micron informed investors during its latest earnings call that it expects "tightness" in the memory chip market to last beyond 2027, which should ease some fears. That language, combined with the sell-off, makes Micron a great stock to buy now. If you missed out on some of its initial run-up, now could be a perfect second chance.

The memory chip market is cyclical Investors are a bit cautious about buying too much into Micron's future because of the nature of its business. Micron is a memory chip fabricator, making NAND and DRAM. There is always demand for these products, as memory chips are important parts of every computing system, be it a data center, smartphone, or laptop. However, there isn't a ton that sets one manufacturer's memory chip apart from another's, so the market is fairly commoditized. With AI data center build-outs causing a historic spike in demand, Micron and its peers don't have the production capacity to meet it. As a result, memory chip prices have skyrocketed, making everything more expensive in the computing industry.
Micron and its peers are the primary beneficiaries of those rising memory chip prices, and this has translated into jaw-dropping revenue and earnings growth for Micron.
MU Revenue (Quarterly YoY Growth) data by YCharts.
It isn't done there, either. Wall Street expects 81% revenue growth in the company's next fiscal year. However, all of the memory makers are building new foundries, so supplies will eventually grow. At some point, the shortage should ease. It could also turn into a glut, which would crash memory chip prices and put Micron's investment thesis in peril. That's why the market is hesitant to bid the stock to a higher valuation, but knowing that the memory chip market supply will remain tight beyond 2027 should ease investors' concerns for the next couple of years.

The market will eventually come back around to Micron's stock, although it could take a bit of time. In the meantime, Micron's stock is priced at a pretty cheap 11.6 times expected earnings for its fiscal year 2026 (which ends in August) and 5.7 times expected fiscal 2027 earnings. Those prices appear cheap, but if the memory market crashes, they may actually look expensive. However, with a rosy outlook for at least another year and a half, I think investors are fine to scoop up Micron's stock. Still, they'll have to continue monitoring market conditions and be willing to sell once some of the demand pressure in the memory chip market is alleviated.
Micron and SanDisk shares rebounded in the early premarket trading on Monday after a bruising semiconductor sell-off forced investors to reassess one of the most crowded parts of the artificial intelligence trade.
At 5:45 am ET, Micron (NASDAQ: MU) was up more than 3%, while SanDisk (NASDAQ: SNDK) had gained about 2.5%, according to market data, as investors attempted to buy the dip following last week’s sharp sell-off.
The reversal captures the debate confronting memory investors: did last week’s rout create an attractive entry point, or is the market beginning to anticipate the next downturn in a notoriously cyclical industry?
The rebound followed a punishing week for AI hardware as the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index dropped 1.6% on Friday and entered a bear market after falling more than 20% from its June peak.
Micron ended the week roughly 30% below its June record, while SanDisk had retreated more than 28% from its June 25 high.
SanDisk stock rose by more than 600% in 2026, underscoring how far expectations and valuations had run before the correction.
That reset encouraged traders to revisit companies still benefiting from constrained supply and rising prices.
JPMorgan cross-asset strategist Fabio Bassi described the chip decline as a temporary “wobble”, rather than the end of the AI rally, in comments reported by The Wall Street Journal.
Bassi said memory stocks had become highly concentrated positions, allowing small changes in sentiment to produce unusually large moves.
Demand for the computing capacity required by AI, however, remained strong.
That helps explain why Monday’s buyers emerged quickly, even though the broader valuation and spending concerns behind Friday’s rout had not disappeared.
The fundamental argument has not disappeared.
KeyBanc analyst John Vinh said “memory shortages remain persistent” after supply-chain checks in Asia. Vinh expects tight conditions through 2027.
KeyBanc forecasts DRAM prices will rise 15% to 20% sequentially in the third quarter and another 15% in the fourth. NAND prices could jump 30% to 40% this quarter, followed by another 15% increase.
Micron is heavily exposed to DRAM and high-bandwidth memory used alongside AI accelerators.
SanDisk is centred on NAND flash and enterprise solid-state drives, which store and retrieve the datasets used in AI workloads.
Evercore ISI analyst Amit Daryanani told clients that SanDisk’s long-term customer agreements were creating a “new memory paradigm.”
Those contracts improve visibility into revenue, earnings and cash flow while clean-room capacity remains constrained.
The same shortage supporting prices is encouraging enormous investment.
Samsung and SK Hynix have outlined hundreds of billions of dollars in new manufacturing projects, while Micron recently raised its planned United States investment to more than $250 billion through 2035.
That spending will take years to affect output, but it revives memories of previous cycles when shortages triggered overbuilding and falling prices.
China’s ChangXin Memory Technologies is another concern.
Morgan Stanley estimates China could provide about 30% of net DRAM wafer additions through 2028.
Higher memory prices may also become self-defeating.
Costlier DRAM, HBM and NAND raise the expense of AI infrastructure, increasing pressure on hyperscalers already being asked to prove returns on huge capital budgets.
As Micron Technology, Inc. (Nasdaq: MU) stock experienced selling pressure over the past 30 days, a $1,000 investment in the company a month ago is now down by a double-digit percentage.
A $1,000 investment in MU stock on June 22 is worth approximately $726.85 at the time of reporting, as Micron shares traded at around $880.5 on Monday, July 20, during the pre-market session. Over the past 30 days, MU shares have declined nearly 30%, down from $1,211.38 on June 22.
MU stock 30-day chart. Source: Finbold A month ago, $1,000 fetched about 0.826 MU stock. However, Micron shares have been in a downward trend after confirming a reversal pattern characterized by a double top, lower lows, and lower highs.
As such, an investor who purchased Micron stock a month ago entered during a parabolic peak fueled by the AI boom. Furthermore, MU shares could be in a bear market alongside semiconductor stocks, as Finbold reported.
Already, several analysts, including investment strategist David Woo, have predicted an imminent AI stock market crash over the coming months, as Finbold highlighted.
MU stock forecast amid AI bubble burst fears As Micron stock valuation hovered near $958.8 billion ahead of this week’s Micron dividend payout, Wall Street analysts remained bullish on the company in the long haul. Moreover, 30 Wall Street analysts surveyed by TipRanks have set an average 12-month target of $1,569.29, signaling a potential 84.85% upside.
MU stock forecast. Source: TipRanks In the near term, the Finbold AI Agent – an advanced financial assistance tool – predicted further MU stock sell-off. Specifically, the Finbold AI Agent predicted that MU shares could drop by 11.93% over the next 30 days, reaching $747.75 on August 19, 2026.
MU shares AI forecast. Source: Finbold As such, a $1,000 investment in Micron stock a month ago could incur further losses over the next 30 days if the AI price forecast is met. However, the same portfolio could rebound to profitability over the next 12 months if the average price target from Wall Street analysts is reached.

Making its debut on 05/08/2007, smart beta exchange traded fund First Trust Large Cap Growth AlphaDEX ETF (FTC - Free Report) provides investors broad exposure to the Style Box - Large Cap Growth category of the market.
What Are Smart Beta ETFs?The ETF industry has traditionally been dominated by products based on market capitalization weighted indexes that are designed to represent the market or a particular segment of the market.
Investors who believe in market efficiency should consider market cap indexes, as they replicate market returns in a low-cost, convenient, and transparent way.
There are some investors, though, who think it's possible to beat the market with great stock selection; this group likely invests in another class of funds known as smart beta, which track non-cap weighted strategies.
Based on specific fundamental characteristics, or a combination of such, these indexes attempt to pick stocks that have a better chance of risk-return performance.
Methodologies like equal-weighting, one of the simplest options out there, fundamental weighting, and volatility/momentum based weighting are all choices offered to investors in this space, but not all of them can deliver superior returns.
Fund Sponsor & IndexThe fund is managed by First Trust Advisors. FTC has been able to amass assets over $1.3 billion, making it one of the average sized ETFs in the Style Box - Large Cap Growth. FTC, before fees and expenses, seeks to match the performance of the Nasdaq AlphaDEX Large Cap Growth Index.
The NASDAQ AlphaDEX Large Cap Growth Index is an enhanced index which employs the AlphaDEX stock selection methodology to select stocks from the NASDAQ US 500 Large Cap Growth Index.
Cost & Other ExpensesFor ETF investors, expense ratios are an important factor when considering a fund's return; in the long-term, cheaper funds actually have the ability to outperform their more expensive cousins if all other things remain the same.
Operating expenses on an annual basis are 0.58% for FTC, making it on par with most peer products in the space.
It's 12-month trailing dividend yield comes in at 0.15%.
Sector Exposure and Top HoldingsEven though ETFs offer diversified exposure that minimizes single stock risk, investors should also look at the actual holdings inside the fund. Luckily, most ETFs are very transparent products that disclose their holdings on a daily basis.
This ETF has heaviest allocation in the Information Technology sector - about 31% of the portfolio. Industrials and Consumer Discretionary round out the top three.
Taking into account individual holdings, Micron Technology, Inc. (MU) accounts for about 2.05% of the fund's total assets, followed by Sandisk Corporation (SNDK) and Dell Technologies Inc. (class C) (DELL).
The top 10 holdings account for about 15.15% of total assets under management.
Performance and RiskThe ETF has gained about 10.29% so far this year and is up roughly 15.41% in the last one year (as of 07/20/2026). In the past 52-week period, it has traded between $148.93 and $194.14
The fund has a beta of 1.13 and standard deviation of 19.12% for the trailing three-year period, which makes FTC a medium risk choice in this particular space. With about 188 holdings, it effectively diversifies company-specific risk .
AlternativesFirst Trust Large Cap Growth AlphaDEX ETF is an excellent option for investors seeking to outperform the Style Box - Large Cap Growth segment of the market. There are other ETFs in the space which investors could consider as well.
Vanguard Growth Index Fund ETF Shares (VUG) tracks CRSP U.S. Large Cap Growth Index and the Invesco QQQ (QQQ) tracks NASDAQ-100 Index. Vanguard Growth Index Fund ETF Shares has $220.64 billion in assets, Invesco QQQ has $465.53 billion. VUG has an expense ratio of 0.03% and QQQ changes 0.18%.
Investors looking for cheaper and lower-risk options should consider traditional market cap weighted ETFs that aim to match the returns of the Style Box - Large Cap Growth

NEW YORK, July 20, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Leading securities law firm Bleichmar Fonti & Auld LLP announces that a class action lawsuit has been filed against Zillow Group, Inc. (NASDAQ:Z, ZG) and certain of the Company’s senior executives for securities fraud after significant stock drops resulting from potential violations of the federal securities laws.
Lead Plaintiff Deadline: August 10, 2026Alleged Misconduct: Securities fraud relating to Zillow’s allegedly anticompetitive agreement with Redfin CorporationLargest Alleged Stock Drop: February 11, 2026 – 16.54% Stock Drop on Class C shares; 17.13% Stock Drop on Class A shares.Court: U.S. District Court for the Western District of WashingtonAction: Contact BFA Law to discuss your rights Investors have until August 10, 2026 to ask the Court to be appointed to lead the case. The complaint asserts securities fraud claims under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 on behalf of investors in Zillow Class C and Class A common stock. The class action is pending in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Washington. It is captioned Breidert v. Zillow Group, Inc., et al., No. 26-cv-02016.
Why is Zillow Being Sued for Securities Fraud?
On February 6, 2025, Zillow entered into an agreement with Redfin through which Zillow became the exclusive provider of multifamily rental listings on Redfin’s platform and affiliate websites, including Rent.com. According to the complaint, during the relevant period, Zillow characterized the agreement with Redfin as a “partnership” that would provide Zillow exclusive access to Redfin’s advertising platform.
As alleged, in truth, under the terms of the agreement, Zillow paid Redfin $100 million to stop competing with Zillow, facilitate the transition of its multifamily rental advertising business to Zillow, and close the remainder of its business.
Why did Zillow’s Stock Drop?
On September 30, 2025, the FTC filed a complaint against Zillow and Redfin alleging violations of the federal antitrust laws. According to the FTC complaint, “Zillow and Redfin executed an unlawful agreement to remove competition from [the online rental marketplaces industry], starting with a $100 million payment to Redfin to exit the [Internet Listing Services] market.” In sum, the FTC alleged, “[t]his agreement is nothing more than an end run around competition on the merits with Redfin for customers…” This news caused the price of Zillow’s Class C and A common stock to decline 4.33% and 4.5%, respectively.
On February 10, 2026, Zillow’s CFO told investors that Zillow experienced increased legal expenses which “will result in approximately 200 basis points headwind to EBITDA margins in Q1.” On this news, the price of Zillow’s Class C and A common stock declined 16.54%, and 17.13%, respectively.
Finally, on May 7, 2026, Reuters reported that a “federal judge rejected [Zillow and Redfin’s] request to end a [FTC] lawsuit accusing them of illegally agreeing to suppress competition for online apartment rental listings.” This news caused the price of Zillow’s Class C and A common stock to decline 1.9% and 1.76%, respectively.

Zcash’s infrastructure has entered a new phase as the network completes its transition away from its original software implementation. That evolution took nearly a decade, beginning with zcashd’s 2016 launch before Zebra’s 2024 release introduced a Rust-based alternative.
After the 2024 deprecation notice, node operators had enough time to switch over before the planned retirement. On the 18th of July, zcashd reached end of support at block height 3417100.
Source: X Meanwhile, Zakura completed the new node ecosystem. Rather than simply replacing legacy software, the transition strengthens maintainability, prepares the network for Ironwood, and reduces long-term operational risk.
Zcash’s adoption remains intact Completing Zcash’s infrastructure transition did not remove the market’s biggest question. Instead, it shifted attention to whether users still trusted the network after the Orchard vulnerability. Early activity suggests that confidence largely held.
Although shielded balances declined 14% to 4.42 million ZEC, users continued relying on private transactions, which rose 11.1% QoQ to 131,584.
Source: Zcash on X This trend became even more significant as the anonymity set for ZCash expanded by 325,127 units to 124.08 million.
This indicated an increase in participants using ZCash for privacy purposes. In addition, average daily trading volume increased by 33.8% QoQ to $373 million. This further reinforces that overall use of the network has been increasing.
Rather than reflecting weakening adoption, these trends point to cautious capital repositioning while confidence in Zcash’s privacy infrastructure remained intact.
Formal verification reinforces protocol integrity Even resilient blockchain networks are ultimately judged by how they respond to critical security threats. Zcash faced such a test when researchers found a flaw in Orchard shielded pools that secured roughly 85% of shielded value.
But the flaw stayed contained because disclosure was coordinated, and developers were able to release an emergency fix within days. More importantly, this flaw allowed forgery inside Orchard rather than inflating the total supply of ZEC.
The turnstile mechanism prevented forged funds from leaving the pool other than legitimate deposits. Looking ahead, Ironwood strengthens this protection through formal verification and quantum recovery too.
Together these upgrades move Zcash from reactive fixes towards stronger assurances of long-term security and confidence within the ecosystem.
Final Summary Zcash [ZEC] completed its migration to Zebra and Zakura, strengthening infrastructure while maintaining resilient network activity. Zcash enters the Ironwood era with formal verification and quantum recovery, reinforcing long-term protocol security.
A US court has ordered the forfeiture of more than $8.3 million in cryptocurrency and physical assets tied to Angelo Martino, a former ransomware negotiator who was convicted of secretly colluding with the BlackCat ransomware group while posing as a trusted advisor to his victims.
A Double Agent Inside the Incident Response Industry Martino was employed at the Chicago cybersecurity company DigitalMint, where he negotiated on behalf of companies whose computers were hacked and held for multimillion-dollar ransom payments. Rather than protecting clients, Martino shared confidential information he gained from his work as a ransomware negotiator, including victim organisations' negotiating positions and insurance policy limits, to extract the maximum payment for himself and other BlackCat affiliates.
In all, he and his associates extorted more than $75 million in ransoms from four companies and a nonprofit organisation that he represented as a negotiator. The victims included hospitality, retail, medical, and financial services businesses. Martino, 41, of Land O'Lakes, Florida, was sentenced to 70 months for his role in conspiring with BlackCat/ALPHV actors to extort multiple victims, as well as conspiring with other former cybersecurity professionals to attack additional victims in 2023.
Alongside Martino, Ryan Goldberg of Georgia and Kevin Martin of Texas were also involved in the scheme. On May 1, his co-conspirators Kevin Martin and Ryan Goldberg were each sentenced to 48 months in prison for their roles in the conspiracy.
Multi-Chain Crypto Portfolio and Physical Assets Seized The US District Court for the Southern District of Florida issued a forfeiture order targeting his hidden crypto portfolios. The total value of the seized assets is estimated at $8.37 million, spread across several blockchain ecosystems: 90.319 $BTC worth approximately $5.84 million; 7,999.873 $XMR worth approximately $2.46 million, held in the privacy-focused Monero cryptocurrency; 56,174.15 $XRP seized from wallet "...EkThx6"; and 39,760.79 $XLM held at address "...5RJ3BD". Small holdings of Solana's native SOL token were also confiscated during the operation.
Authorities have also seized a bayfront home with an estimated value of $1.68 million, a second single-family home with an estimated value of $396,000, multiple vehicles, a food truck, and a 29-foot luxury fishing boat that Martino obtained using proceeds from his crimes. A hearing to determine the amount of restitution to be ordered against Martino is set for September 17.

Gold (XAU/USD) shows marginal gains on Monday, as the US Dollar recovery stalled and Oil prices pulled back from highs. The precious metal remains capped below a descending trendline resistance, but downside attempts remain supported above the $3,965 area, thus forming a descending triangle pattern
Simmering tensions in the Middle East keep Gold rallies subdued, but recent comments from Iran’s Foreign Ministry Esmaeil Baghaei, suggesting that efforts to de-escalate the conflict are going on, have provided a glimpse of hope on Monday. Risk appetite added some pressure on the US Dollar and pulled Oil prices down from one-month highs, which is good news for Gold.
The US Dollar also remains weighed by the softer-than-expected US inflation figures released last week, which have prompted investors to dial down expectations of any Federal Reserve monetary tightening in the coming months.
Technical Analysis: Triangle formation and bullish divergence
XAU/USD trades at $4,021, with the bearish structure in play, yet with a triangle formation and some bullish divergence in the Relative Strength Index (RSI), suggesting that bears might have run out of steam. The 4-hour RSI has recovered toward a neutral level while the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) has turned positive, hinting at building but still constrained buying interest.
Bulls, however, would have to break the top of the triangle, now around $4,050, to confirm a trend shift, aiming for the $4100 area (July 14 high) and the $4,210 area (July 6 high). A break below year-to date lows at $3,941 would expose the October 2025 low, at $3,886. Further down, the 127.2% Fibonacci extension of the late-June downleg, at the $3,830 area, emerges as the next target.

Gold FAQs Gold has played a key role in human’s history as it has been widely used as a store of value and medium of exchange. Currently, apart from its shine and usage for jewelry, the precious metal is widely seen as a safe-haven asset, meaning that it is considered a good investment during turbulent times. Gold is also widely seen as a hedge against inflation and against depreciating currencies as it doesn’t rely on any specific issuer or government.
Central banks are the biggest Gold holders. In their aim to support their currencies in turbulent times, central banks tend to diversify their reserves and buy Gold to improve the perceived strength of the economy and the currency. High Gold reserves can be a source of trust for a country’s solvency. Central banks added 1,136 tonnes of Gold worth around $70 billion to their reserves in 2022, according to data from the World Gold Council. This is the highest yearly purchase since records began. Central banks from emerging economies such as China, India and Turkey are quickly increasing their Gold reserves.
Gold has an inverse correlation with the US Dollar and US Treasuries, which are both major reserve and safe-haven assets. When the Dollar depreciates, Gold tends to rise, enabling investors and central banks to diversify their assets in turbulent times. Gold is also inversely correlated with risk assets. A rally in the stock market tends to weaken Gold price, while sell-offs in riskier markets tend to favor the precious metal.
The price can move due to a wide range of factors. Geopolitical instability or fears of a deep recession can quickly make Gold price escalate due to its safe-haven status. As a yield-less asset, Gold tends to rise with lower interest rates, while higher cost of money usually weighs down on the yellow metal. Still, most moves depend on how the US Dollar (USD) behaves as the asset is priced in dollars (XAU/USD). A strong Dollar tends to keep the price of Gold controlled, whereas a weaker Dollar is likely to push Gold prices up.

Key Details of the Intuit ($INTU) Class Action:
Lead Plaintiff Deadline: September 8, 2026Class Action Allegations: Securities fraud alleging that Intuit misled investors regarding TurboTax’s purported competitive advantages and growth prospectsLargest Alleged Stock Drop: May 21, 2026 – 20.02% Stock Drop Court: U.S. District Court for the Northern District of CaliforniaAction: Contact BFA Law to discuss your rights Investors have until September 8, 2026 to ask the Court to be appointed to lead the case. The complaint asserts securities fraud claims under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 on behalf of investors in Intuit securities. The class action is pending in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California. It is captioned Baldwin v. Intuit Inc., et al., No. 26-cv-7086.
Why is Intuit Being Sued for Securities Fraud?
Intuit is a financial technology platform that serves consumers, small and mid-market businesses, and accountants through its offerings, which include TurboTax, Credit Karma, and QuickBooks.
During the relevant period, Intuit told investors it had significant “momentum” across its business segments, including TurboTax. Intuit attributed its “momentum” to purportedly significant competitive advantages, including integration of AI in its business and operations. Intuit also told investors that the 2026 tax season was “off to a strong start” as the company was poised to deliver the “best price for our customers.”
In truth, as alleged, the company was facing pressure among the most price-sensitive DIY tax filers and was not competitive on price in this segment.
Why did Intuit’s Stock Drop?
On May 20, 2026, before market hours, Reuters published an article titled “Intuit to cut 17% of global jobs to streamline operations, memo shows.” Reuters reported that Intuit was “laying off about 17% of its workforce” and was “winding down its Reno and Woodland Hills offices as part of a strategic restructuring to consolidate teams[.]” This news caused the price of Intuit stock to decline $15.78 per share, or 3.95%, from a closing price of $399.71 per share on May 19, 2026, to $383.93 per share on May 20, 2026.
Also on May 20, 2026, after market hours, Intuit released its fiscal Q3 2026 financial results, which included its 2026 tax season revenue. Intuit stated that it “did not have the overall tax season we expected” and that it “faced pressure among the most price-sensitive DIY filers.” Intuit stated that “[w]e [lost] on price.” Intuit also announced that TurboTax online paying units were expected to grow by only 2% as total IRS filers were expected to decline by approx. 30 basis points, representing the “most significant industry-wide contraction since the post-COVID tax season.” This news caused the price of Intuit stock to decline $76.86 per share, or 20.02%, from a closing price of $383.93 per share on May 20, 2026, to $307.07 per share on May 21, 2026.

The world is arming up at a pace not seen in decades. Global military spending reached a record $2.9 trillion in 2025, NATO's combined defense budgets topped $1.5 trillion for the first time in 2026, and members have committed to a path toward spending 5% of their gross domestic product (GDP) on defense. Europe alone lifted spending by double-digit percentages, the fastest growth since the Cold War. That flood of money flows to the companies that build the ships, planes, and systems, and the ones best positioned to capture it are those with the financial strength to expand. Here are three defense contractors with solid balance sheets and clear momentum.
Image source: Getty Images.
1. General Dynamics General Dynamics (GD +0.05%) is the most diversified of the group, spanning nuclear submarines, combat vehicles, government IT, and Gulfstream business jets. That mix matters because it gives the company multiple ways to grow as budgets rise at home and abroad.
The balance sheet is heading in the right direction. General Dynamics finished its most recent quarter with about $3.7 billion in cash, and net debt fell to roughly $4.4 billion from $5.7 billion at the end of 2025, meaning the company is paying down borrowings while still investing. Its total order backlog hit a record near $131 billion, with total potential contract value closer to $188 billion, and revenue for its Marine Systems unit, which builds submarines, rose 21% as the U.S. races to expand its undersea fleet. With a genuine cash engine and shrinking debt, General Dynamics can fund shipyard expansion while rewarding shareholders.

2. Northrop Grumman Northrop Grumman (NOC +0.56%) sits at the center of the highest-priority programs in defense, including the B-21 Raider stealth bomber, space systems, and missile defense, all areas that swell when threats rise. Its order backlog stands at a record of roughly $96 billion, giving it years of visible work.
The financial picture here comes with a nuance worth understanding. Northrop generated strong free cash flow of about $3.3 billion in 2025, but it is now plowing money into expanding B-21 production, committing to a multiyear capital investment plan of about $2.5 billion after agreeing to boost bomber capacity by 25%. That heavy spending can make near-term cash flow uneven, yet it is the kind of investment that builds future earnings. Management reaffirmed full-year projections calling for free cash flow of roughly $3.1 billion to $3.5 billion, indicating that underlying cash generation remains healthy even as it invests for growth.
3. Curtiss-Wright Curtiss-Wright (CW 1.09%) is the smallest and least famous of the three, and it may have the cleanest balance sheet. It makes specialized defense electronics, actuation systems, and the nuclear technology that powers submarines and aircraft carriers, giving it a quiet but critical role in the naval build-out.
Curtiss-Wright carries roughly $958 million in total debt against about $371 million in cash and short-term investments, and its net debt sits at a conservative level relative to its equity. Just as important, it converts more than 105% of its earnings into free cash flow, and it recently raised its cash flow outlook toward the $580 million to $600 million range. New orders climbed 16%, and its order backlog reached about $4.3 billion, with roughly 90% of that expected to turn into revenue during the next three years. That is a durable, low-leverage business riding the same demand wave as its larger peers.

Defense investing is not without pitfalls. These stocks have run up as investors piled onto the rearmament theme, so valuations are no longer cheap. Budgets ultimately depend on politics, and appropriations can be delayed, trimmed, or redirected, especially in the U.S. Big programs like the B-21 also carry execution risk, and heavy upfront spending can pressure profits before it pays off.
The takeaway for investors Rising global military budgets are a powerful and durable tailwind, but the companies that win will be the ones with the cash and balance sheets to scale into the demand. General Dynamics offers diversification and a strengthening balance sheet; Northrop Grumman offers exposure to the most critical programs while investing for growth; and Curtiss-Wright offers low-leverage, high-quality cash generation. I would treat all three as ways to invest in a lasting trend, while keeping valuation and political risk in view.
