But what if the biggest opportunities AREN’T the giant defense contractors everyone already knows? What if they’re much smaller companies most investors have never heard of? In this week’s Stansberry Investor Hour, Dan Ferris sits down with longtime defense investor Rob Spivey to discuss where the next wave of defense spending could actually flow. Rob says the proposed U.S. defense budget could rise from roughly $1 trillion to $1.5 trillion—and argues that much of the investable increase could flow toward areas like drones, missiles, space, submarines, R&D, and other next-generation technologies. And Rob isn’t focused on Lockheed Martin, Boeing, or the other defense giants. He and his team have been digging into companies below $2 billion in market value… And they’ve narrowed their research down to roughly half a dozen names they find particularly compelling Rob explains: • Why smaller defense companies could benefit from rising spending • Where the next wave of defense money could flow • Why drones, missiles, space, and submarine technology matter • How tiny suppliers can become critical to massive defense programs • Why M&A is so common in aerospace and defense • How his team tries to avoid dangerous microcap stocks • And why October could be an important month for the defense industry One of the most interesting parts of the opportunity? Many of these smaller companies don’t build the headline-grabbing weapons themselves. Instead, they make highly specialized components that larger defense systems depend on. And once a component is designed into a major defense program, Rob says it can remain there for decades. That can also make these companies attractive acquisition targets. Rob explains that larger contractors frequently acquire smaller companies to gain access to specialized technology, intellectual property, or important contracts. But defense isn’t the only major topic Dan and Rob tackle. They also debate the U.S. government’s $40 trillion debt load, rising Treasury yields, corporate borrowing, inflation expectations, and the massive amounts of capital flowing into AI infrastructure. And Rob has a controversial view: The hyperscalers taking on debt to fund their AI buildouts may actually be doing exactly what they SHOULD be doing—if the returns on those investments remain significantly higher than their borrowing costs. From defense stocks and microcaps to government debt and AI… This episode is about where enormous amounts of money are flowing—and where investors may want to pay attention.
