Both defense giants RTX and General Dynamics (GD) saw stock declines despite a $1.45 trillion Pentagon spending request. GD is favored for retirees due to its higher dividend yield (1.86% vs. RTX's 1.49%), steady dividend growth, and cheaper valuation. RTX, with a larger backlog and faster revenue growth, suits investors seeking long-term growth rather than immediate income. GD's revenue is more government-dependent, while RTX has significant commercial aviation exposure. Investors should choose based on income needs and growth preferences.
