EADSY Stock Recent News

Here is how Airbus Group (EADSY) and Elbit Systems (ESLT) have performed compared to their sector so far this year.

Production challenges persist but are being addressed, with ramp-up plans set to further widen Airbus' lead over competitors in both narrowbody and widebody segments. Defense, space, and drone markets offer robust growth, fueled by increased European military spending and geopolitical shifts favoring Airbus over U.S. rivals.
