What do you think of BAE Systems?

The share price rose nicely until March 2024 and the long-term upward trend is still intact in my opinion.

I haven't found anything really dramatic fundamentally either, only the debt might be worth mentioning, but it's not unusually high either.

The share price has been moving sideways since March and I see opportunity costs for my portfolio.

I would be interested in your opinion as I am currently thinking about liquidating my BAE position.

Rheinmetall share: JP Morgan Chase & Co. issues Overweight rating

$RHM (+1,35 %)
$HAG (+1,93 %)
$LMT (+2,15 %)
$RR. (+2,9 %)

The US bank JPMorgan has left its rating for Rheinmetall at "Overweight" with a target price of 680 euros. Analyst David Perry discusses the exciting developments of the past 24 hours on Thursday morning. In the short term, he sees more uncertainty for the Düsseldorf-based company than for other European defense companies - due to a possible Ukraine ceasefire under Trump and the shaky coalition government in Germany. In the long term, however, he continues to see Rheinmetall as a winner with good prospects for many years to come.

Good morning,

I haven't had any individual stocks in the last 10 years, but have now decided to invest in 10 stocks again. I have already chosen 9 of them, one is still missing. Perhaps someone can give me a tip.

I have the following criteria:

-No tech, I have enough of that already

-If possible, no USA. But this is not an exclusion

-Dividend doesn't matter

-Investment horizon > 10 years

Here are the 9:

$LOTB (+0,09 %)

$CTAS (+2,12 %)

$LIN (+1,73 %)

$8001 (-0,28 %)

$RMS (-0,13 %)

$LMT (+2,15 %)

$V (+1,31 %)

$BRK.B (+1,12 %)

$BLK

If there are any concerns about the nine, I will gladly take some out again

Update: @RealMichaelScott Someone has asked in the comments for the reasoning behind my selection so far. I'd like to answer that here:

There are a few more smart criteria that fit my preferences and gut feeling. These would be:

I like stocks with long-phase linear growth, see $CTAS (+2,12 %) in the last 12 months and $8001 (-0,28 %) . $LOTB (+0,09 %) is one of the best stocks in the world in my opinion. Exponential growth will certainly turn around at some point, but I don't like cyclicals. I also value positive free cash flow. I am not interested in P/E ratios (for whatever reason). Another reason is diversity with the 10 stocks, I'm not sure yet. $LIN (+1,73 %) was and would still be the only DAX stock that makes it to me. I would have gladly done without Armor, but unfortunately it will be part of the next 10 years, so $LMT (+2,15 %) . I'm also looking for stocks that closed 2020 and 2022 on a positive note.

$BRK.B (+1,12 %) is somehow part of such a portfolio:-), I'm not sure about $V (+1,31 %) I'm not sure about. Thanks for the suggestions on medical+health, that's definitely still missing. I still have doubts about energy. Due to the climate problem, I don't know where the journey will take us.

Update 2: Thanks for all the good suggestions. I took advantage of the bad weather and the window day today and have now made my decision:

$BLK (+1,3 %) flies out again, $V (+1,31 %) stays

Instead there are 2 new ones from your suggestions:

$CAT (+3,05 %) and $NOVO B (-2,54 %)

So it looks like this:

$LOTB (+0,09 %)

$CTAS (+2,12 %)

$LIN (+1,73 %)

$8001 (-0,28 %)

$RMS (-0,13 %)

$LMT (+2,15 %)

$V (+1,31 %)

$BRK.B (+1,12 %)

$CAT (+3,05 %)

$NOVO B (-2,54 %)

I did a backtest from 1.1.2020, all equally weighted

Average annual return: 24.32%

Total return approx. twice as high as the S&P ETF $CSPX (+0,89 %)

In the difficult years 2020 and 2022 each over 13% plus

10k became 28.5k with dividends in the 4.5 years

Nice linear progression over the entire term:

But unfortunately: forecasts are difficult, especially when they concern the future!

The Iran attacks again Israel with missiles again because Israel is smoking out their network of Hezbollahs in Lebanon and Iran wants to save face so as not to look weak. Everyone wants to have the last word down there. Financial markets and cryptos are falling as a result. Precious metals, oil and defense stocks are rising.

The same thing happened back in April when Israel sent a VIP into the sky. Many YouTubers immediately called for a third world war. They were wrong, of course, because the world has rarely ended before. After a few days it was all over and the iran. Most of the missiles and drones were intercepted and neutralized.

The S&P 500 fell by just 4,46% from 11 to 19 April. That was only six trading days and the panic was in vain again. Buying / buying later was the right decision at the time. Opinions? #gold

Middle East escalation drives oil and armaments, airlines weak + Boeing considers billion-euro capital increase

Oil stocks benefited from the news of a possible conflagration in the oil-rich Middle East, as this is associated with the risk of a shortage of the raw material. Chevron $CVX (+0,88 %) , Exxonmobil $XOM (+2,11 %) and ConocoPhillips $COP (-0,53 %) gained up to 2.4 percent in New York. In Europe Totalenergies $TTE (-0,33 %) and Eni $ENI (+0,8 %) rose by up to 1.4 percent. In times of war, it is also not unusual for arms manufacturers to see share price gains. In the USA, for example Lockheed Martin $LMT (+2,15 %) and RTX $RTX (+1,87 %) recorded gains of around 2.7 percent in some cases, while in Europe Rheinmetall $RHM (+1,35 %) was particularly popular in Europe, with a rise of more than 5 percent. BAE Systems $BA. (+1,77 %) were 3 percent higher.

The situation was different for shares in tourism groups and airlines. For the latter, the risks of higher kerosene prices are increasing. Some travel destinations may also be canceled for the time being and the risk of terrorist attacks is increasing. Investors in Tui $TUI1 (+0,34 %) saw their share price fall by 2.5 percent. For the share price of Lufthansa $LHA (-1,42 %) fell by more than 2 percent. IAG $IAG (+2,03 %) lost 3.9 percent. Shares in US airlines such as American, Delta and United Airlines fell by up to 2.4 percent.

The US aircraft manufacturer Boeing $BA (-1,36 %) is considering a capital increase in the double-digit billion range in its ongoing crisis, according to insiders. The company is considering issuing new shares worth at least 10 billion US dollars (just under 9 billion euros), the Bloomberg news agency reported on Tuesday, citing people familiar with the matter. The fresh money from shareholders is intended to fill the manufacturer's coffers, which are becoming ever emptier as a result of years of ongoing crisis with flight bans and production restrictions as well as the recent strike by tens of thousands of employees. A Boeing spokesperson declined to comment. According to insiders, it is likely to be at least a month before Boeing gets serious about such a capital increase

$NOC (+1,56 %) Northrop Grummann

$LMT (+2,15 %) Lockheed Martin

*Both at the all time high today*

With sales of over 39 billion dollars, Northrop Grummann $NOC (+1,56 %) is a major global aerospace and defense technology company responsible for several critical components of America's defense and NASA's space program. The company develops complex platforms that last for decades, regardless of current events. The S&P 500-listed company is the primary supplier for the modernization of the United States' nuclear weapons systems.

The old B-2 Spirit stealth bomber model is to be replaced by the new B-21 Raider variant, and a new generation of intercontinental missiles is being developed as part of the Sentinel program. Both programs extend over several decades and promise stable revenues. Test flights with the B-21 are currently taking place and the handover is planned for the 2020s. The first operational Sentinel system should be fully operational by around 2029.

After several years of heavy investment in product development and capacity expansion, the end is gradually approaching. In the first half of the year, sales grew by 8% year-on-year to USD 20.4 billion, with a stable EBIT margin of 10.8%. The largest increases were recorded in the Aeronautics and Defense Systems segments. With an order backlog of USD 83 billion, CEO Kathy Warden expects sales of around USD 41 billion and earnings per share of between USD 24.90 and 25.30 for the 2024 financial year. If this is achieved, the 2024 P/E ratio of the share (USD 513.73; US6668071029) is currently

20The most recent example is the USD 1.3 billion contract that the Americans were able to land together with their joint venture partner Raytheon on August 30. This involves the production of around 50,000 Javelin missiles and more than 12,000 reusable command and control units.

The Javelin program is part of the "Missiles and Fire Control" segment, which generates around 17% of Group sales and recorded the highest growth rate in H1 2024 (+18.5% year-on-year). Overall, revenue increased by 11% to USD 35.3 billion in the period under review.

In terms of size, the "Aeronautics" segment is the most significant with a 40% share of sales. This includes the F-35 fighter jet, which is also very popular in Germany. According to media reports, the German government is currently discussing the procurement of a further tranche of eight F-35 jets for the German armed forces.

Lockheed $LMT (+2,15 %) is continuously working on its flagship product; the first model with the latest technology was recently delivered. CEO Jim Taiclet expects a total of 75 - 110 F-35 jets to be delivered in FY 2024. The fruits of many years of development work should now be reaped in the coming years, which should gradually have a positive impact on profitability.

The forecast for the financial year envisages an EBIT margin of 10.4% (2023: 12.6%), with sales of 70.5 to 71.5 billion (2023: 67.6 billion dollars). The order backlog as at June 30 amounted to almost USD 160 bn, more than double the expected revenue.

Following the strong share price performance, the valuation has risen to 22 times the expected earnings per share for 2024.

I was introduced here several times about 12 months ago and decided to buy.
