BAE Systems (BA): news on Thursday 15 October 2026
+4.5 positive
Coverage was mostly about BAE's counter-drone systems shown at AUSA, a $230 million combat vehicle contract and valuation pieces calling the shares undervalued. This was partly offset by a small fine over Holston plant violations, a forecast cut from Erste, a congressional report on ACVs and a stock described as under pressure.
