Raytheon posted a solid quarter with profits rising 15%. See the press release here. Much of this was due to the work on PATRIOT and other missile systems, including significant foreign orders. This means that the first two large defense contractors to report, Boeing and Raytheon, have done very well recently. This should continue as long as the defense budgets remain large which can be expected for at least the next two years.
