Defense stocks are experiencing a downturn amid rising uncertainty in Washington regarding government spending. Analysts suggest that the shares of defense services companies are under pressure as concerns over their growth outlook intensify. Notable companies affected include Booz Allen Hamilton Holding Corp. (BAH), CACI International Inc. (CACI), SAIC Inc. (SAIC), KBR Inc. (KBR), and Leidos Holdings Inc. (LDOS). Speculation is growing that the newly established Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) may seek to reduce government expenditures, further impacting the sector. As a result, there is a belief that these stocks could continue to decline, presenting potential buying opportunities for investors looking for cheaper valuations.

Sentiment getting smashed on the defense services companies. Growth outlook getting questioned but certainly getting a shot to get them cheaper here. A lot of the revenue exposure here is defense, not likely in the Elon/DOGE targets. $BAH $CACI $SAIC $KBR $LDOS
