Tony Bancroft, portfolio manager at Gabelli Funds and head of the firm’s commercial aerospace and defense ETF, argued in a recent CNBC segment that U.S. missile and aircraft production is on the cusp of a multi-year trend. His thesis rests on two pillars: immediate replenishment of arsenals depleted in recent conflict, and longer-term rearmament against threats such as China and Russia.
Bancroft says structural supply constraints will drive sustained production increases, pointing to framework agreements discussed by the Trump Administration that could triple or quadruple missile production over the coming years.
