General Dynamics Corp. (GD) is a US defense, aviation, and aerospace company. It was founded in 1952 after the merger of Electric Boat and Canadair.
General Dynamics Corp. stocks are traded under the ticker #GD on the NYSE. The company pays quarterly dividends to shareholders. From 2011 to 2021, the average dividend growth rate was about 10.20% annually. This is a stable but small income, which is unlikely to compensate for losses in the event of a sharp price drop. Trading CFDs on #GD is more profitable, allowing traders to earn on the exchange rate difference. The main thing is to predict its change correctly.
Institutional investors own about 86% of securities. The key owners are Longview Asset Management, The Vanguard Group, Newport Trust, BlackRock, Wellington Management Group, and others. When trading CFDs, traders need to know the major investors and how they manage their stakes. Buying a large block of securities will positively affect the share price, while selling will decrease their rate.
Financial reporting is also important in forecasting. Over the past five years, the company's net profit has not grown much, but steadily. For example, in 2018, it was $3.34 billion; in 2019, $3.48 billion; in 2020, $3.16 billion; and $3.25 billion in 2021. Most of the company's income comes from US government orders.
Risk warning: Trading in FX and CFDs entails high risk of losing capital.
