5 Best Defense Stocks To Watch For 2014

LONDON -- BAE�Systems� (LSE: BA  ) (NASDAQOTH: BAESY  ) is the 拢12 billion U.K. defense firm behind some of the most ambitious projects in the world. One of the company's biggest current jobs is the manufacture of the U.K.'s next aircraft carriers.

Revenues at BAE are split between manufacture of new equipment and service. Whereas manufacturing orders are notoriously "lumpy", the high customer quality and long-term nature of service contracts brings a high degree of earnings visibility to BAE's business. Currently, around 50% of BAE revenue comes from ongoing support.

Value
Today, BAE shares trade on nine times forecast earnings for 2013. A slight earnings dip is expected in 2014, pushing the price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio to 9.2 times forecast earnings. This puts BAE Systems among the 10 cheapest shares in the FTSE 100 today.

The company's size and strong cash flows mean that it passes many additional value criteria beyond a simple P/E test.
