GovCon Index is a tool that records stock market data from 30 key government contracting organizations in real-time. This information allows site visitors to gain insights into each company’s financial status and provides a look into the foremost trends shaping the GovCon landscape.
Although the GovCon Index ended positively for the last period of November, the index still sustained its third straight monthly loss. Potential policy changes throughout government contracting under the incoming administration are seen as a potential culprit for the substantial decline in GCI defense stocks.
