Redwire Shares Soar After Joining Major Defense Contract Tied to Trump’s ‘Golden Dome’

Shares of space and defense company Redwire surged nearly 28% on Tuesday after the firm was named as a participant in a massive Defense Department contract supporting President Donald Trump’s proposed “Golden Dome” missile defense system. Redwire is among thousands of vendors selected under a contract valued at up to $151 billion, led by the Missile Defense Agency, to develop new defense, aerospace, and cybersecurity capabilities aimed at protecting the United States.

GM Aims to Surpass Ford in U.S. Vehicle Production Despite Up to $4 Billion in TARIFFS

General Motors said it expects to ramp up U.S. vehicle production and ultimately overtake Ford as the largest assembler of vehicles in the country, even as the automaker faces billions of dollars in tariff-related costs. GM CEO and Chair Mary Barra outlined the goal Tuesday as the company reported 2025 earnings and issued its 2026 outlook, which includes an estimated $3 billion to $4 billion hit from TARIFFS. That figure is broadly in line with the $3.1 billion in tariff costs GM incurred last year, despite levies not being in place for the full year.
