GD:NYSEGeneral Dynamics Corporation analysis

Data as of Oct 11, 2026 - not real-time

Latest price
$331.27
Risk: low
3/10Low risk

Summary

General Dynamics Corporation is priced at $331.27, and its moving averages give no clean directional read — the structure is neutral. Across the trailing 30 sessions it lost 12.8%. Relative strength is 30.6 — approaching oversold — and the MACD signal is bullish. The recent range runs from support at $322.00 up to resistance at $362.39.
On valuation the read is undervalued — earnings multiple of 20.2 versus a 27.5 sector average, below the peer group. Consensus targets land 24.7% above where the shares trade now. Revenue is growing at 8.1% on a 8.2% profit margin. The 1.93% dividend yield looks covered by current payout levels.
Risk comes out at 3 of a possible 10, a low reading. With 30-day volatility of 15.4%, a beta of 0.38 and a maximum drawdown of 17.5%, the drawdown profile is forgiving relative to most of the market. The wider market backdrop reads extreme greed at 95 on the fear-greed composite.
The horizons diverge: hold near-term but buy on a long view, at 6/10 conviction over the longer horizon.
