BAE Systems (BA) is a British multinational defence, security, and aerospace company, one of the world’s largest defence contractors.

BAE Systems was formed in 1999 through a merger of British Aerospace (BAe) and Marconi Electronic Systems. Via British Aerospace, the company’s roots can be traced back to the early British aircraft manufacturers of the 20th century.

The company’s primary business operations include the design, manufacture, and support of military aircraft, ships, submarines, combat vehicles, radar, avionics, and other defence systems.

It serves government and commercial customers worldwide, with a significant portion of its revenue coming from long-term defence contracts in the US and UK.

Investing in CFDs involves a high degree of risk that you will lose your money due to the use of leverage, particularly in fast moving markets, where a relatively small movement in the price can lead to a proportionately larger movement in the value of your investment. This can result in loses that exceed the funds in your account. You should consider whether you understand how CFDs work and you should seek independent advice if necessary.
