November Industrials Outlook – Unlocked

The Industrials sector had a huge breakout in October and, excluding Energy, was the best place to be in the month. We shouldn’t expect every month to be like the last, but the trend is higher over the intermediate term. The mid-2021 relative highs is the target.

Defense names have also done well. Northrop Grumman continues to stairstep higher, and Lockheed Martin just ripped to new all-time highs.
