I'm still wondering whether to focus in the defense industry on larger companies like $LMT and $RHM.DE, or look for more growth-oriented stocks, such as $AVAV. I prefer smaller companies, but the problem is they tend to be much pricier than the big ones.
What do you think makes more sense? Invest in $LMT or in $AVAV?

The growth is incredible and the company has interesting orders, but the P/E is too high.
What do you think about $RHM.DEstock ?
For me, a quality company that is in an important sector and overall I like the focus and would like to have this sector represented in my portfolio. So I'll either buy $LMT or $RHM.DE, but I'll have to wait a while for a better price as both stocks are still pretty expensive.
I would love to buy their stock, but unfortunately the valuation is really high right now. I'll wait for a better price.

Yeah, great company. While its stock has really grown quite a bit over the past few years, it's one of the companies I could see continuing to grow even in this difficult market situation. Very good financials, growth and business. It's hard to find downsides here.
I have a position in $SAABY and I was afraid to open positions in the others, but I'm still watching and wondering if it's already too late.
