<h3>The Importance of Congressional Transactions</h3>
A congressional transaction is when any representative or senator either buys or sells an individual stock.
Anyone working in Congress must file a Periodic Transaction Report to inform the public of their recent transaction within 30 days of being notified of the transaction and within 45 days of the transaction date.
In April 2012, Former President Barack Obama signed the STOCK Act into law. The act prohibits members of Congress from using private information given to them by their position for personal gain such as buying or selling a stock. The act also expanded disclosure requirements for members of Congress by requiring them to file a monthly disclosure.
<h3>Why Congressional Transactions Matter</h3>
Congressional transactions shouldn't be the primary reason for an investing decision, but they can be an important factor for an investor to consider.
When a senator or representative makes a new purchase, it could be an indication they expect the stock to rise.
A sale, on the other hand, can be made for a variety of reasons, and may not necessarily mean the seller thinks the stock will go down.

$1000 Invested In This Stock 20 Years Ago Would Be Worth This Much Today

The global defense landscape is rapidly evolving, driven by intensifying geopolitical tensions and technological breakthroughs. At the forefront of this evolution is the rapid penetration of unmanned aerial systems (UAS) or military drones, a space where the Gabelli Commercial Aerospace &amp; Defense ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GCAD#NYSE">GCAD</a>) is <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs">well-positioned for long-term expansion</a>.
According to Tony Bancroft, portfolio manager of GCAD, the drone industry is not merely evolving; it is poised to redefine modern warfare over the next decade, where the military drone industry will soar to new heights as Advanced AI and swarm technology will revolutionize warfare, enabling precise, autonomous missions.
The boom in military drone production cannot be understood in isolation from the current turbulent global environment. The Russia-Ukraine war has demonstrated the combat utility of drones in real-world operations — from surveillance to precision strikes — while also revealing the weaknesses of traditional military assets. At the same time, escalating tensions in the Indo-Pacific region, especially with China making maritime and territorial claims, have compelled nations such as India, Japan and Australia to expedite defense modernization initiatives, including the use of unmanned systems.
In the Middle East, asymmetric warfare and ongoing regional instability have also spurred demand for surveillance and tactical drone capabilities. With drone technologies now an integral part of both deterrence and rapid-response strategies, worldwide military drone expenditures are set to hit $24 billion by 2030, Bancroft said.

<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Six Pillars Of Drone-Driven Defense Transformation</h1>
Bancroft identifies six major breakthroughs that will drive the drone industry in the next decade: &#8220;1. Advanced Autonomy and AI, 2. Battery and Propulsion Innovations, 3. Regulatory Environment allowing for more drone ops, 4. Urban Air Mobility (UAM) eVTOL, 5. 5G and Connectivity, and 6. Cost Reduction and Scalability,&#8221; said Bancroft.
<ul>
<li>Next-generation autonomy and AI, supporting real-time decision-making and mission completion with no human interaction.</li>
<li>Emerging battery and propulsion technologies, allowing increased operating range and longevity.</li>
<li>Evolving regulatory schemes, especially for airspace control, that support the increased widespread use of drones.</li>
<li>Development in UAM through eVTOLs with dual civilian and military use.</li>
<li>Rapid, low-latency communications using 5G and satellite network technology.</li>
<li>Cost-effectiveness and scalability, making large-scale drone deployment a practical and economically sustainable reality.</li>
</ul>
These innovations would serve as the afterburners to accelerate growth in military drones.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">The March Toward Autonomy, Swarm Warfare</h1>
Semi-autonomous swarms of drones are already in use in some situations, with limited battlefield applications anticipated in the next few years. But full autonomy, AI-directed swarms are still dependent on solving critical technical hurdles, including real-time communication in hostile environments and trustworthy AI decision-making in combat.
Autonomy, as groundbreaking as it is, also brings new dangers. Cybersecurity has become a top priority.
&#8220;Advanced autonomy heightens risks of cyberattacks with more entry points for hackers to exploit vulnerabilities,&#8221; Bancroft said. &#8220;We will require AI-driven threat detection and resilient architectures to ensure secure autonomous operations.&#8221;
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Hypersonic and Stealth Drones: The Next Technological Frontier</h1>
Swarm intelligence aside, the future generation of drones will be hypersonic, stealthy and much deadlier. Hypersonic drones are being worked on, but are still constrained by physics-constrained engineering challenges.
&#8220;Extreme heat at hypersonic speeds requires advanced materials to prevent structural failure. Balancing radar-evading stealth with aerodynamic demands remains technically challenging,&#8221; Bancroft said. &#8220;Stable, efficient engines for sustained hypersonic flight are still under development.&#8221;
As UAS continues to grow more sophisticated, they are poised to assume high-risk missions from manned systems.
&#8220;Stealthy, hypersonic drones will likely dominate due to their speed, survivability, and ability to operate in high-risk environments without risking human lives,&#8221; Bancroft stated. &#8220;Manned aircraft will shift toward roles like command-and-control or specialized missions, leveraging human decision-making in complex scenarios.&#8221;

<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Changing Defense Doctrine and Counter-Drones</h1>
The old defense doctrine is changing with this transition. Land operations are progressively supplemented — if not replaced — by network-centric warfare, with drones incorporated into live data and target systems.
&#8220;Defense strategies now prioritize integrated drone swarms and AI-driven systems for real-time surveillance, targeting, and strikes, reducing reliance on ground forces,&#8221; Bancroft said. &#8220;Traditional strategies are incorporating advanced anti-drone technologies, like electronic warfare and laser systems, to counter enemy UAV threats. Just today, I read an article about the Marine Corps looking to incorporate a counter-drone weapon to their Amphibious Combat Vehicle (ACV).&#8221;
Nations are also increasing their investments in drones. The U.S. is still the leader, but China and India are quickly expanding their programs.
&#8220;India is becoming one of the fastest-expanding markets for military drones,&#8221; Bancroft added. The <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/45090666/nuclear-armed-india-pakistan-heading-for-war-polymarket-bettors-think-yes-amid-pak-ministers-imminent-attack-remark">ongoing tensions boiling over between India and Pakistan</a> might fuel demand even more.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">GCAD&#8217;s Diversification Within The Drone Landscape</h1>
GCAD&#8217;s portfolio accurately reflects these newer trends. At least 80% of its assets are dedicated to income-bearing aerospace and defense equities that, in turn, are primarily positioned at the vanguard of drone and anti-drone innovations. According to Bancroft, these firms are at the forefront of secular growth in unmanned defense platforms.
Palantir Technologies (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NASDAQ">PLTR</a>), which offers AI-driven threat detection and battlefield analytics, just won a $150 billion contract for the &#8220;Golden Dome&#8221; missile defense system, noted Bancroft.
Anduril Industries, an emerging defense technology company, is building autonomous systems under a $99 million U.S. Department of Defense contract, and has teamed with Palantir.
Textron Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TXT#NYSE">TXT</a>), through its Aerosonde UAS, and Honeywell International Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HON#NASDAQ">HON</a>), a provider of propulsion and sensor systems, are both poised for expansion as demand increases for advanced aviation systems, Bancroft said.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Looking Ahead To 2035</h1>
Bancroft describes the battlefield in 2035 as one that is controlled by autonomous swarms operating across air, land, sea and cyber domains, backed by AI-driven command systems and sophisticated counter-drone energy weapons.
&#8220;Drone warfare in 2035 features vast, autonomous swarms with advanced AI, coordinating complex attacks with minimal human input, unlike today&#8217;s human-piloted or semi-autonomous drones,&#8221; he said.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Conclusion</h1>
Increased demand for military drones, driven by geopolitical volatility and technological breakthroughs, is remaking the world defense industry. Through its stakes in leaders at the forefront of these innovations, GCAD is positioning itself in the next generation of defense technology — one where autonomy, velocity and strategic information come before manpower alone.
While the military is shifting from boots on the ground to bots in the air, GCAD seems poised to ride and profit from this tectonic shift in global defense.

Barclays Maintains Overweight on Honeywell Intl, Lowers Price Target to $243

Honeywell International Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HON#NASDAQ">HON</a>) is quiet Wednesday. This wasn't the case yesterday. The shares rallied by more than 5%. The company reported <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/45066884/honeywell-q1-strong-growth-in-aerospace-offsets-industrial-dip-narrows-outlook-amid-uncertain-demand-scenario">earnings of $2.51 per share</a>. This was well ahead of the $2.21 the Street was looking for.
The chart of Honeywell illustrates an important market dynamic. This is why Benzinga&#8217;s technical analysis team has made it our Stock of the Day.
Markets can be driven by investor and trader psychology and emotions.
One of these emotions is buyer's remorse.  This occurs when people regret buying a stock if the price subsequently drops.
Sometimes, when people are remorseful buyers, they decide to hold onto their losing positions. But they also decide that if and when the stock eventually returns to their buying price, they will sell. This way they can exit the position without losing any money.
Buyer&#8217;s remorse can be seen on stock charts.

You can see on the chart that the $216 level was support for Honeywell in January. Many who bought at this time thought they made a good move when the price rallied soon after.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="580" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/30105637/HON-1024x580.png" alt="" class="wp-image-895173" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/30105637/HON-1024x580.png 1024w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/30105637/HON-300x170.png 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/30105637/HON-768x435.png 768w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/30105637/HON.png 1453w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>
But in February the support broke and the shares moved below it. When this happened, many of these previously happy buyers thought the decision to buy was a mistake.
Many decided that if Honeywell got back to $216, they would sell.
So, when the shares returned to this level in early March they placed sell orders. There were so many of them that it formed resistance at the level that had previously been support.
When the shares sold off after hitting the resistance, many who bought at that level regretted doing so. They also decided that if they could ever break even, they would. As a result, when Honeywell rallied back to $216 in late March, they placed sell orders.
The large concentration of these sell orders formed resistance at the level again.
Savvy traders understand that psychology can affect price action. Buyer remorse can turn support into resistance. It can also keep resistance intact.
If Honeywell reaches $216, there is a good chance it encounters resistance again.

Stock Of The Day: Honeywell's Breakout May Stall At Familiar Resistance Zone

Wall Street rose modestly by midday Tuesday, as investors weighed the latest developments in trade negotiations and awaited a wave of key economic data and corporate earnings set for <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/45072497/us-trade-deficit-explodes-to-record-162-billion-in-march-as-import-frenzy-precedes-trumps-tariff-barrage">release later this week.</a>
President Donald Trump is <a href="https://apnews.com/article/trump-tariffs-automakers-factories-relief-25a400c98e02c01c8c54502384e267e1">expected</a> to unveil a new executive order on auto tariffs later today. Meanwhile, U.S. Treasury Secretary Bessent added that the administration is pursuing bilateral trade agreements with 17 major partners, excluding China.
The S&amp;P 500 climbed 0.4%, putting it on track for a sixth consecutive gain—its longest winning streak since November 2024.
In the bond market, U.S. Treasuries extended their rally, with yields falling for a sixth straight session. The yield on the 10-year benchmark dropped to 4.17%, marking a two-week low.
Gold prices slipped 0.6% to $3,325 per ounce, while WTI crude oil futures fell 2.4% to $60 per barrel, the lowest level in two weeks. Oil prices are under pressure from escalating global trade tensions and weaker U.S. economic data, and crude is now on track for a 15% decline in April—its steepest monthly drop since 2021.
Bitcoin traded little changed, around $95,000.

<h3>About Honeywell Intl</h3>
Honeywell traces its roots to 1885 with Albert Butz's firm, Butz Thermo-Electric Regulator, which produced a predecessor to the modern thermostat. Other inventions by Honeywell include biodegradable detergent and autopilot. Today, Honeywell is a global multi-industry behemoth with one of the largest installed bases of equipment. It operates through four business segments: aerospace technologies (37% of 2023 company revenue), industrial automation (29%), energy and sustainability solutions (17%), and building automation (17%). Recently, Honeywell has made several portfolio changes to focus on fewer end markets and align with a set of secular growth trends. The firm is working diligently to expand its installed base, deriving around 30% of its revenue from recurring aftermarket services.
