With core defense spending expected to slow, U.S. defense contractors need to identify additional revenue sources for the coming years. 2009 holds potential for interesting merger and acquisition (M&A) activity, mostly smaller deals by larger A&D firms to fill in capability gaps -- particularly in the security, defense electronics and aftermarket services business areas. U.S. defense firms may see opportunities in credit-squeezed markets to pick up U.S. assets at historically low price-to-earnings multiples.

OVERVIEW Inherently, big defense contractors are expected to eliminate jobs as the Pentagon has lowered spending on traditional weapon systems, while smaller, niche companies may accelerate hiring as the United States garners resources to protect ground troops and strategic computer networks. Industry pioneer Lockheed Martin Corporation (LMT) aims to reduce 600 jobs as a result of the US Defense Department's decision to terminate the VH-71 presidential helicopter program. The Boeing Company (BA) hinted that Pentagon cuts would claim 1,000 jobs in its defense business, affecting staffing at various work sites in the United States in missile defense and in the Army's Future Combat Systems modernization program, which is now being opened to more competition. The large commercial aircraft sector is expected to generate most of its revenue from Asia Pacific Japan (APJ) and the Middle East, relying less on U.S. orders because of the ...

At the end of the third quarter of 2008, Airbus and The Boeing Company (BA) reported a combined total of 7,534 aircraft in backlog and, at that time, they were delivering at an annualized rate of 752 aircraft. On that basis, it would take some 10 years to deliver all the aircraft on order. Of the stated backlog, 458 shipsets were for the Airbus A350 XWB and 895 were for the Boeing 787 -- neither of which is yet in production (787 deliveries may start before the next decade, while A350 deliveries should start by the middle of the next decade).Complicating matters is the ongoing machinists (IAM) strike against Boeing as well as the threat by that company's white-collar engineers and technical employees (who are members of SPEEA) to go on strike early in 2009, which could shut Boeing down entirely.  In addition, there is historical ...

When looking for high yield investments, it is important to consider the safety and security of the company, not just the high dividend payout. One metric to look at is the Price to Book Ratio, which is the price of the stock in relation to the neto worth of the stock, in other words, what each share would be worth if all the company assets were sold off, all the debts paid off, and what is left over divided by the number of shares outstanding. The lower the Price to Book Ratio, the better the buy. If the ratio is less than one, the shareholder would receive more for their shares are trading at if the company immediately went out of business and sold everything off.Obviously, the book value can be nebulous in many circumstances, especially with companies that own a lot of real estate, but the ratio ...
