Description: ITA U.S. Aerospace & Defense January 06, 2026

The iShares U.S. Aerospace & Defense ETF (BATS: ITA) tracks the SPDJI-defined aerospace and defense index, investing at least 80% of assets in the index’s component securities or economically equivalent holdings, with the remaining 20% permissible for futures, options, swaps, cash, or cash equivalents; the fund is classified as non-diversified.

Key sector drivers include the U.S. federal defense budget, which the Congressional Budget Office projects to grow at an average 2.5% annual rate through FY 2028, and commercial aircraft demand, reflected in the Aviation Industry’s forecast of 4.2 million new aircraft deliveries worldwide in 2025. ITA’s top holdings-such as Lockheed Martin, Raytheon Technologies, and Boeing-collectively exhibit an average forward-looking P/E of ~13×, a dividend yield near 2.1%, and an expense ratio of 0.43%, positioning the ETF against the broader Industrials benchmark (average forward P/E ~15×, yield ~1.8%).
