The A&D industry is poised for continued growth. The challenge? Valuation multiples have never been higher.
As digital investments rise, A&D leaders are asking tougher questions about the returns. In many cases, they are not getting satisfactory answers.
Although new orders from airlines have slowed somewhat, the A&D industry continues to outperform the S&P 500, thanks to strong growth among defense contractors.
A&D companies that use digital technologies to pursue the widest variety of business goals capture the greatest value from their investments.
