War & Defense Earnings Galore (LMT, BA, GD, LLL, RTN, COL, CRDN)

This week is going to be the key earnings reporting week for companies tied to aerospace and defense sector stocks.  If there is one area that everyone is expecting to hold up, it is this one.  The recessionary climate has only just started and this one is supposed to be immune in the current environment.  Keep in mind that some of these companies have diversified away from being a pure war and defense sector, but these are still defense companies. 

On Tuesday we’ll get to see earnings out of Lockheed Martin Corporation (NYSE: LMT), and on Wednesday we’ll see results from Boeing Co. (NYSE: BA) and General Dynamics Corp. (NYSE: GD). Then on Thursday, we’ll see results from L-3 Communications Holdings Inc. (NYSE: LLL), Raytheon Co. (NYSE: RTN), and also from Rockwell Collins Inc. (NYSE: COL).  Ceradyne Inc. (NASDAQ: CRDN) is on the docket for Friday.
