Frequency Electronics stock jumps 8% on potential DoD missile spending boost

Investing.com - Frequency Electronics (NASDAQ:FEIM) shares rose 8% on Monday following analyst commentary about potential increased Department of Defense spending on missile production. The stock has demonstrated remarkable momentum, surging 153% over the past year and 94% in the last six months, according to InvestingPro data.

Craig-Hallum highlighted the company’s positioning to benefit from news that the U.S. is looking to increase missile production by two to four times over the short to intermediate term.

The research firm noted that concerns about superior Chinese production capabilities and depleted U.S. stockpiles are driving this potential spending increase, based on recent developments and simulations.

Craig-Hallum pointed to Frequency Electronics’ role in several key missile defense systems, including the Patriot, AAMRAM, and THAAD interceptor missiles, as reasons for the stock’s positive reaction.

The firm maintains a Buy rating on Frequency Electronics shares, describing the company as "standing at the intersection of many high-profile defense trends."
