5 Stocks to Anchor Your Portfolio Amid Escalating US-Israel-Iran Tensions
Summary:
Amid rising U.S.-Israel-Iran tensions, five stocks—Lockheed Martin, Chevron, Palantir, RTX, and Barrick Mining—are poised to benefit from increased defense spending, oil disruptions, cybersecurity demand, and flight to safe-haven assets.
As tensions between the U.S., Iran, and Israel escalate, investors are bracing for potential market ripple effects. Historical data shows Middle East conflicts often trigger short-term S&P 500 pullbacks of roughly ~6%, though markets typically recover within weeks unless oil supplies are severely disrupted.
While armed conflict inflicts devastating human and economic costs, certain industries historically capitalize on geopolitical instability. Based on market trends and insights from recent Israel-Iran tensions, here are five stocks that could see gains in the event of a US-Iran-Israel war, along with the factors driving their potential.
Lockheed Martin
Sector: Defense & Aerospace (Fighter Jets, Missile Defense Systems)
Catalyst: Surge in military demand for missiles, drones, and fighter jets.
Why It Benefits:
Israel relies heavily on US-made defense systems like Lockheed’s (NYSE:LMT) THAAD missile interceptors to counter Iranian ballistic missiles as well as F-35 jets.
Pentagon spending could spike further amid broader regional instability.
It is worth noting that the InvestingPro Fair Value price target sits at $520.75, implying a potential +11.1% upside, with the high end of Wall Street estimates at around $528.
Chevron
Sector: Energy
Catalyst: Oil supply disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz.
Why It Benefits:
Iran has threatened to block the Strait, through which 20% of global oil passes. A US-Iran-Israel war threatening Middle East oil routes could push Brent crude above $90-$100/barrel.
Chevron’s (NYSE:CVX) diversified global operations (including Israel’s Leviathan gas field) would profit from higher oil and gas prices.
With a Fair Value of $187.57, CVX stock presents a sizable upside potential of +26.6% from its current price of $148.19.
Palantir
Sector: Cybersecurity/Data Analytics
Catalyst: Demand for AI-driven defense and surveillance tools.
Why It Benefits:
Israeli and US agencies use Palantir’s (NASDAQ:PLTR) AI platforms for intelligence, targeting, and disaster response.
Recent $178M Pentagon contract highlights its role in modern warfare.
Palantir’s InvestingPro Financial Health score stands at a “GREAT” level—one of the highest possible tiers. This score reflects the company’s robust profit margins, strong cash position, and accelerating revenue growth.
RTX
Sector: Defense & Aerospace (Missiles, Radar, Air Defense Systems)
Catalyst: Surge in demand for advanced missile defense systems and radar technology amid heightened aerial threats.
Why It Benefits:
Raytheon’s portfolio includes the Iron Dome system, co-developed with Israel, which has proven critical in defending against drones and ballistic missiles fired from Iran.
Rtx Corp’s (NYSE:RTX) Tomahawk cruise missiles and AN/TPY-2 radar systems are critical for precision strikes and detecting threats like Iranian proxies’ rocket attacks.
RTX earns a “GOOD” InvestingPro Financial Health label, with a 2.54 score. The stock last closed at $145.87, sitting near its 52-week high—a testament to strong recent momentum.
Barrick Mining
Sector: Precious Metals
Catalyst: Flight to safe-haven assets.
Why It Benefits:
Gold prices historically rise during geopolitical crises (e.g., +15% after the Russia-Ukraine war).
Barrick Mining (NYSE:B), one of the world’s largest gold miners, offers direct exposure to price surges.
Barrick Mining stands out with a robust InvestingPro Financial Health score of 3.28 and a “GREAT” rating—well above the sector average. Its Fair Value price target of $27.15 implies +28.5% upside potential.
Conclusion
These five stocks highlight the diverse ways in which geopolitical events can shape investment opportunities, though investors should remain mindful of the broader risks and volatility that accompany such scenarios. As tensions in the Middle East unfold, keeping a close eye on these names could provide a strategic edge in navigating uncertain markets.
Whether you’re a novice investor or a seasoned trader, leveraging InvestingPro can unlock a world of investment opportunities while minimizing risks amid the challenging market backdrop.
