July 25 Morning Report: GovCon Index Posts Friday Gain, Nominal 5-Day Decline Ahead of Q2 Reports


GovConIndexUPExecutive Mosaic’s GovCon Index closed Friday with a gain of 0.289 points to 81.788 but remained in the negative with a nominal five-day 0.031-point drop.

The decline comes amid the large selloff of stocks in the defense and GovCon sectors Thursday as reports on second-quarter earnings among government contracting companies start coming in.

GCI second-quarter reports Friday came from Honeywell International (NYSE: HON), which topped Wall Street’s earnings forecast, and Textron (NYSE: TXT), which exceeded analyst expectations on both earning forecast and consensus revenue estimate.

Boeing (NYSE: BA) will report Wednesday and other U.S. defense primes such as General Dynamics (NYSE: GD), Northrop Grumman (NYSE: NOC) and Raytheon (NYSE: RTN) are also scheduled for next week.
