European defence equities have already undergone an exceptional repricing, but the central analytical problem has now changed.
The key issue is no longer whether the sector deserved to trade materially above its pre-rearmament baseline, but whether current valuations still understate, broadly reflect, or already over-incorporate the durability of the earnings, backlog and policy-demand expansion now visible across leading European defence groups.
This analysis answers: Do current European defence-equity valuations understate, reflect, or over-incorporate the durability of earnings, backlog and policy-demand expansion?

Why will the sector not move as one, and how do flows, positioning and market plumbing differ across leading groups? How credible is the duration of future policy-driven demand, and what scenarios and signals should investors monitor?
