ETF PPA offers a one-ticker play on rising defense spending but is heavily concentrated in four stocks.

The Invesco Aerospace & Defense ETF (PPA) provides exposure to 63 aerospace and defense companies, capturing the surge in defense budgets in the US and NATO countries. However, nearly 30% of its holdings are concentrated in just four major companies: RTX, GE Aerospace, Boeing, and Lockheed Martin. While the ETF benefits from long-term government defense spending commitments, investors should note the concentration risk and the 0.58% annual expense ratio. Despite recent volatility and mixed returns, PPA remains a convenient way to invest in the defense sector's growth potential amid rising global military spending.

Boeing Co trades at USD 198.21 with a 0.72% gain on Pluang as of Sep 25, 2026 22:02 WIB. Lockheed Martin is priced at USD 521.80, down 0.36% on the same date. These prices reflect active investor interest, with Boeing showing 69% buy orders and Lockheed Martin 84% sell orders on Pluang.
