$1000 Invested In This Stock 5 Years Ago Would Be Worth This Much Today

BlackRock, in its latest note, highlighted the defense sector as a prime investment opportunity, driven by accelerating geopolitical fragmentation and a global emphasis on national security.
What Happened: The financial giant is sharpening its focus on specific regions and technologies, with a strong preference for the United States.
According to BlackRock, the U.S. stands out due to its substantial defense expenditure, which, as SIPRI data indicates, &#8220;spends more than double on defense than Europe.&#8221;
Furthermore, the U.S. is home to the most sophisticated defense and defense technology firms, serving as a key supplier for critical systems like air and missile defense for many nations.
Within the defense sector, BlackRock highlights significant prospects in defense tech. This broad category encompasses not only artificial intelligence (AI) and software companies but also essential IT services and hardware, such as semiconductors, that power advanced defense capabilities.
The firm anticipates that numerous private defense tech companies could launch initial public offerings (IPOs) in the coming years, offering public market investors new avenues into this expanding theme. Space tech is another area of interest, expected to benefit from intensifying strategic competition.
BlackRock notes that &#8220;growing geopolitical fragmentation and strategic competition in AI are reinforcing the global focus on national security and resilience – creating opportunities in defense.&#8221; This underscores a selective approach to defense investments, where technological superiority and robust national security infrastructure are becoming paramount.
Here&#8217;s a list of some defense and defense tech stocks and global exchange-traded funds that investors could consider.

Why It Matters: The futures of the S&amp;P 500, Dow Jones, and Nasdaq 100 indices rose on Tuesday as the investors overlooked a significant surge in Middle East tensions, triggered by Iran's missile attacks on U.S. military bases in Qatar and Iraq, which occurred just 48 hours following U.S. strikes on Iranian nuclear sites.
Donald Trump shared a post on Truth Social on Monday, announcing a "<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/06/46066239/dow-futures-jump-over-200-points-as-trump-announces-ceasefire-but-iran-says-no-agreement-crude-plunges">Complete and Total CEASEFIRE</a>," at which point, he says, "THE 12 DAY WAR" will be considered "ended." 
However, the Foreign Minister of Iran, Syed Abbas Araghchi, refuted claims of a ceasefire, saying that there was "no agreement" for cessation of military operations, in a post on X.

BlackRock Bets Big On Defense Companies Amid Escalating Geopolitical Tensions: Palantir, Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman Among Stocks In Focus

As broader U.S. equity funds suffered their largest weekly outflow of $18.43 billion since March this week, according to LSEG Lipper as cited by Reuters, one corner of the market quietly shined: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs">sector ETFs</a>. Despite the risk-off mood driven by intensifying Israel-Iran tensions and uncertainty around U.S. tariffs, investors poured money into focused plays, signaling a tactical rotation rather than a wholesale retreat.

Tech and industrial ETFs were the week's breakout stars, absorbing $1.85 billion and $445 million in inflows, respectively. This marks the fourth straight week of sectoral ETF gains, even as large-cap, mid-cap, and small-cap equity funds all bled red ink.
So, where is the &#8220;smart&#8221; money flowing, and why?
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Sector ETFs To Watch</h2>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Technology ETFs: Betting On Resilience And AI Tailwinds</h3>
Tech continues to draw interest as investors seek exposure to innovation and growth even in uncertain times. The sector&#8217;s relative insulation from geopolitical strife and the ongoing AI boom likely contributed to this surge.
Top Picks:
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Technology Select Sector SPDR Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLK#NYSE">XLK</a>): Blue-chip heavy with Apple (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>), Microsoft (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>), and NVIDIA (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>).</li>
<li>Vanguard Information Technology ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VGT#NYSE">VGT</a>): A broader tech play with strong diversification.</li>
<li>ROBO Global Robotics and Automation Index ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ROBO#NYSE">ROBO</a>): For those leaning into automation and AI trends.

</ul>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Industrial ETFs: Infrastructure And Defense Boost</h3>
Industrials are gaining favor amid expectations of increased infrastructure spending and growing demand for defense and manufacturing equipment, especially in the light of global tensions.
Top Picks:
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Industrial Select Sector SPDR Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLI#NYSE">XLI</a>): A solid all-around industrials fund with exposure to companies like Raytheon (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RTX#NYSE">RTX</a>) and Honeywell (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HON#NASDAQ">HON</a>).</li>
<li>Invesco Aerospace &amp; Defense ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PPA#NYSE">PPA</a>): A niche option benefiting from the defense sector rally. Top holdings include General Electric (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GE#NYSE">GE</a>) and General Dynamics (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GD#NYSE">GD</a>).</li>
<li>iShares U.S. Infrastructure ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IFRA#BATS">IFRA</a>): Capitalizing on the ongoing U.S. infrastructure push with holdings in the likes of Sterling Infrastructure (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/STRL#NASDAQ">STRL</a>), Raytheon and Axon Enterprise (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AXON#NASDAQ">AXON</a>).</li>
</ul>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Financials Falter, But Don't Count Them Out</h3>
While the tech and industrial boats raced ahead on tailwinds, financial ETFs saw $1.22 billion in outflows, suggesting investor unease about profitability under sticky inflation and a "higher for longer" interest rate regime. One can consider keeping an eye on the Financial Select Sector SPDR Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLF#NYSE">XLF</a>) and the SPDR S&amp;P Regional Banking ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KRE#NYSE">KRE</a>), but only if rate and lending conditions stabilize.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Takeaway</h2>
Investors aren't abandoning the market, they're just getting choosier. With geopolitics and economic uncertainty muddying the waters, sector ETFs are emerging as a tactical safe haven for capital.

Axon Enterprise's Options Frenzy: What You Need to Know

The typical compensation package for S&amp;P 500 CEOs rose by nearly 10% in 2024, according to an Associated Press <a href="https://apnews.com/article/ceo-pay-compensation-pay-ratio-perks-1b968327984edfc67486c2e0e3dc2fff">CEO compensation survey</a>.&nbsp;
The median pay package for CEOs rose to $17.1 million in 2024, up 9.7% from the previous year. Meanwhile, median compensation for employees at these companies went up just 1.7% to $85,419.
Additionally, the S&amp;P 500 rose 23% in 2024, and profits for those companies went up 9%.&nbsp;
"2024 was expected to be a strong year, so the (nearly) 10% increases are commensurate with the timing of the pay decisions," Dan Laddin, a partner at Compensation Advisory Partners, told AP.

Raises for the average employee were "long overdue," according to Institute for Policy Studies Global Economy Project Director Sarah Anderson. Still, many workers in the U.S. struggle to pay their bills, especially lower earners.&nbsp;
Top earners in the survey included Axon Enterprises&#8217; (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AXON#NASDAQ">AXON</a>) Rick Smith, who has a pay package valued at $164.5 million, GE Aerospace's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GE#NYSE">GE</a>) Lawrence Culp, Apple's (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/APPL#NASDAQ">APPL</a>) Tim Cook, Carrier Global's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CARR#NYSE">CARR</a>) David Gitlin, and Netflix's (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NFLX#NASDAQ">NFLX</a>) Ted Sarandos.&nbsp;
The bulk of the pay packages for these top earners consisted of stock or options awards, the survey found. The median stock award went up by 15% in 2024, while base salaries only grew by 4%.

"For CEOs, target long-term incentives consistently increase more each year than salaries or bonuses," Melissa Burek, a partner with Compensation Advisory Partners, told the AP. "Given the significant role that long-term incentives play in executive pay, this trend makes sense."
Morningstar Sustainalytic Senior Director of Stewardship Jackie Cook also told the AP that there are benefits to tying CEO pay to performance, but noted that increased use of share-based pay has led to a "phenomenal rise" in CEO compensation "tracking recent years' market performance," which has "widened the pay gap within workplaces."
At half the companies included in the survey, it would take the average worker 192 years to make what their CEOs make in one year, according to the AP. This pay ratio tends to be highest in industries where wages are low, like fast food or hospitality.
"With CEO pay continuing to climb, we still have an enormous problem with excessive pay gaps," Anderson told the AP. "These huge disparities are not only unfair to lower-level workers who are making significant contributions to company value – they also undercut enterprise effectiveness by lowering employee morale and boosting turnover rates."

What Happened: No, it&#8217;s not Coca-Cola Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KO#NYSE">KO</a>) or PepsiCo Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PEP#NASDAQ">PEP</a>), but it is Monster Beverage Corp.

Here&#8217;s a look at the Benzinga Stock Whisper Index for the week ending June 6:
TTM Technologies (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TTMI#NASDAQ">TTMI</a>): the technology solutions company saw strong interest from readers during the week with no major news reported. The stock has been soaring over the last year, hitting new all-time highs recently. On May 9, the company announced a $100 million share buyback that could help boost future earnings per share. The company beat analyst estimates for earnings per share in the first quarter, marking two straight beats and beating analyst estimates for eps in seven of the last eight quarters. The lone non-beat was an in-line figure in that time period. The company also beat analyst revenue projections in the first quarter, marking five straight quarterly beats. The stock was up around 5% over the last week, as shown on the<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/register?utm_adType=bzprocontent&amp;utm_campaign=14daytrial&amp;utm_ad=0606"> Benzinga Pro chart</a> below.

Shell PLC (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SHEL#NYSE">SHEL</a>): The oil and gas stock saw increased interest from readers during the week with minimal news. The big news for the sector in recent weeks was the decision by OPEC to keep output unchanged after discussing increasing output for the month of July. This decision could keep the price of oil steady. In May, the company announced quarterly results with earnings per share beating analyst estimates and revenue missing estimates.

Spotify Technology (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPOT#NYSE">SPOT</a>): The music streaming company saw shares hit all-time highs thanks to some analyst upgrades and notes. A <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst-color/25/06/45750281/spotify-stock-smashes-records-goldman-sees-200-billion-music-streaming-market-by-2035">report from Goldman Sachs</a> said the global music market could double in size over the next decade with Spotify a potential winner. The report predicts global paid subscribers for music streaming will hit 1.51 billion by 2035 with 75% of the growth coming from emerging markets. Spotify had a 35% market share for global paid music streaming in 2024 with 263 million subscribers. Goldman Sachs said Spotify could further monetize their user base with fan promotions and selling concert tickets. JPMorgan also recently raised the price target on Spotify from $670 to $730 while maintaining an Overweight rating. Canaccord recently maintained a Buy rating and raised the price target from $700 to $775. Another item potentially helping Spotify could be a rush of Taylor Swift fans, aka Swifties, to the platform to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/entertainment/25/06/45783291/spotify-early-winner-from-taylor-swift-buying-back-old-albums-a-love-story-for-fans-streaming-company">listen to her older songs</a> and records now that she owns the rights to all of her music.

Benzinga's 'Stock Whisper' Index: 5 Stocks Investors Secretly Monitor But Don't Talk About Yet

Axon Enterprise's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AXON#NYSE">AXON</a>) short percent of float has risen 6.82% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 1.56 million shares sold short, which is 2.35% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 2.12 days to cover their short positions on average.
<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1749232827_0.png" alt="short_fig" />
As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Axon Enterprise has grown since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to fall in the near-term but traders should be aware that more shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing Axon Enterprise's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Axon Enterprise's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 4.99%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.
Did you know that increasing short interest can actually be bullish for a stock? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-make-money-on-a-short-squeeze?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>
