Barclays notes that aerospace is likely to see positive relative earnings growth and could even outperform expectations in 2025. However, they foresee a greater contribution to growth from original equipment compared to aftermarket. On the defense side, challenges persist due to more budget risks in light of fiscal conditions and uncertainties surrounding the Department of Government Efficiency.
The Defense and IT services revenue outlook is described as balanced and devoid of positive catalysts in a recent analysis of the Aerospace and Defense Electronics sector. Commercial Aero remains the preferred segment for the upcoming year with no changes to the favorable outlook, particularly with an emphasis on aftermarket heavy segments in 2025.
