Geopolitical conflict risk could lift defense contractors, energy companies, and related ETFs.
LMT — LONG Author argues elevated conflict probability benefits defense primes via deployment spending. Lockheed Martin is named as a large-cap defense prime that could gain.
The defence sector stands to gain from elevated conflict probability. Large-cap US firms positioned in the S&P 500 and trading on NYSE could benefit. Examples with market cap > US$1B include: Lockheed Martin, RTX (Raytheon), Northrop Grumman, General Dynamics, and L3Harris (defence primes), plus Boeing (military contracts, logistics).

XLE — LONG Author argues conflict-driven oil shocks historically lift energy sector funds. XLE is an energy ETF that historically outperforms during such shocks.
ETFs tracking these themes include SPY (S&P 500), which indirectly holds defence and energy winners, while sector-focused funds like XLE (energy) and ITA (defence/aerospace) historically outperform during conflict-driven oil shocks.
ITA — LONG Author argues conflict-driven oil shocks historically lift defense/aerospace sector funds. ITA is a defense/aerospace ETF that historically outperforms during such shocks.
