The U.S. Navy’s selection of a European airframe for the VH-71 presidential helicopter four years ago was a symbolic watershed. One former Pentagon official said the pick of a Lockheed Martin Corp.-led team using a platform built by the AgustaWestland unit of Italy’s Finmeccanica SpA. was “the most crystalline illustration of how the transatlantic industrial base should work.”

UPS AND DOWNS: As the effects of the Pentagon’s newly unveiled budget plan continued to sink in, defense stocks gave back some of the big gains they made April 6. On April 7, shares in Northrop Grumman, Boeing and General Dynamics were each down 4 percent, while Raytheon and L-3 Communications declined 2 percent. Lockheed Martin bucked the trend, rising 1 percent to add to Monday’s gain of 9 percent. Defense services companies also took a hit on Tuesday, including SAIC and CACI (both down 4 percent), ManTech International (5 percent) and DynCorp (3 percent).

Investors finally had a reason to smile in March, as the Dow Jones Industrial Average and S&P 500 index rebounded from 12-year lows, rising 8-9% during the month. But many defense contractors weren’t invited to the party. BAE Systems plc, General Dynamics Corp. and Raytheon Co. saw continued declines in their stock prices, while L-3 Communications Holdings shares were flat. The only exceptions were Lockheed Martin Corp., which mirrored the Dow’s rebound; and Northrop Grumman Corp., which saw a 17% gain fueled in part by bullish expectations for shipbuilding.
