Not that long ago, public comments were made that the administration was considering taking equiting in defense contractors such as LMT. If I recall correctly, one of the comments was something to the effect of "we (the US govt) are their primary customers so we have an interest".
Difference between these defense contractors, in comparison to rare earth metals and INTC, is their stocks have run up quite a bit over past 10-15 years. I remember decades ago when they traded very low multilples.

NUE, LMT
