Can Aerospace and Defense Companies Meet Their Great Expectations?

To meet investors' expectations for profitable growth, Aerospace & Defense companies will have to change strategy. Instead of returning capital to shareholders through stock buybacks and dividends, they will have to invest aggressively in profitable growth initiatives. As they face changing expectations from the Defense Department and disruptive competitors, established A&D companies will have to assume greater risk for funding product and technology development. To manage effectively through this period, they will have to adopt a disciplines approach to managing capital investments, demonstrate agility in the face of rapid change, and adopt a dynamic valuation approach to assessing strategic options and trade-offs.
