Description: GD General Dynamics January 29, 2026
General Dynamics (NYSE:GD) is a diversified aerospace and defense contractor organized into four operating segments: Aerospace (business-jet sales and related services), Marine Systems (nuclear-powered submarines, surface combatants, and commercial vessels), Combat Systems (land combat vehicles, weapons, and sustainment programs), and Technologies (IT, cyber, AI/ML, cloud, ISR, and unmanned undersea platforms). The company, founded in 1899 and based in Reston, Virginia, serves U.S. military, allied governments, and commercial customers worldwide.
Key recent metrics (FY 2025): revenue $39.2 billion (up 5% YoY), adjusted EPS $7.45, and an order backlog of roughly $130 billion, of which $45 billion is tied to submarine and surface-ship contracts. Defense spending in the United States is projected to grow ~2% in FY 2026, driven by the Navy’s 2025-2029 shipbuilding plan and increased funding for land-combat modernization-both core growth engines for GD’s Marine and Combat Systems segments. Meanwhile, the business-jet market has shown a 12% YoY rise in deliveries in 2025, supporting the Aerospace segment’s revenue outlook.
