General Dynamics (GD, Financial) stock continues its downward trend, falling nearly 3% in pre-market trading. Since November 14, the stock has dropped over 15%. Analysts at JPMorgan have highlighted potential federal budget cuts as the Trump administration's Government Efficiency Office seeks deficit reduction methods. This poses a risk to aerospace and defense companies next year, prompting analysts to lower valuation estimates for companies like General Dynamics and Lockheed Martin. Wells Fargo analyst Sarah Akers maintains a hold rating on General Dynamics but has reduced the target price from $322 to $295.
