Q: I am wondering what Canadian companies are poised to benefit from an increase in spending on armaments by Western governments, in response to rising tensions across the world. Mining stocks could be of interest, but I'm mainly wondering about manufacturing companies.
5i Research Answer:
The defence industry has fewer options within Canada but CAE would be top of the list with roughly 50% of revenues coming from the defence sector. MDA operates in the satellite space which would be another option.
