GovCon Expert McAleese Analyzes Defense Sector Q2 Results

Jim McAleese, founder of McAleese & Associates and three-time Wash100 winner, estimates 4 percent to 7 percent growth in overall second quarter sales among defense primes.

McAleese estimates sector profit growth of 7 percent to 15 percent for the quarter and a 6 percent increase in overall cash flow among major defense contractors for the first half of 2021.

He noted that sector performance reflects the effectiveness of immediate actions taken by the Department of Defense to protect the defense industrial base.
