Capstone Partners’ Aerospace, Defense, Government, & Security (ADGS) Group released its Annual Report, highlighting key trends and data from 2023. The U.S. Aerospace & Defense (A&D) sector saw a 17% increase in shipments, returning to 2018 levels, and a 10% rise in EBITDA earnings year-over-year, outstripping the flat performance of S&P 500 earnings.

Mergers and acquisitions (M&A) activity in the sector, however, declined by 12% year-over-year and was 24% below pre-pandemic levels, influenced by higher interest rates. Despite this, strong sector fundamentals and a stabilizing financing environment suggest M&A activity might increase in the future.

The report also delves into the resurgence in demand for commercial air travel, capped defense spending, selective Government IT Services activity, robust Security Solutions & Cybersecurity outlook, and the stability offered by Training & Simulation services.
