The Oxford Club will host the America Reloading Summit, a free online event featuring Dr. Mark Skousen, on Tuesday, June 30 at 2:00 p.m. Eastern Time. The session will examine current U.S. military supply challenges and the implications of planned increases in defense spending for select domestic companies.

The event will focus on the intersection of national security priorities and investment considerations in the defense and critical minerals sectors. Dr. Skousen, Macroeconomic Strategist for The Oxford Club, will present analysis on five specific stocks that he has identified as potentially positioned to benefit from these developments through the end of 2026.

Background on the Current Situation

Recent international conflicts, including those in Ukraine, Iran, and Israel, have highlighted constraints in U.S. weapons inventories. The United States has drawn down significant portions of its precision-guided missile stockpiles. Replenishment timelines are estimated at multiple years in some categories.

Additional factors include the relative size of the U.S. naval fleet compared to others and reliance on external sources for rare earth elements and other critical minerals used in advanced military systems. China currently accounts for approximately 80% of global rare earth production.

In response, the administration has proposed substantial increases in defense expenditures. The planned total reaches $1.5 trillion, representing the largest such program in 75 years. Key allocations include:

• $54 billion for drone production, a significant increase from prior year levels.
• $65 billion for 18 new warships and 16 support vessels under the Golden Fleet initiative.
• $102 billion for new aircraft programs, including F-35s, F-47s, and B-21 bombers.
• $52 billion for munitions replenishment.
• $12 billion for development of a domestic critical minerals stockpile.

These measures aim to strengthen supply chain resilience and reduce external dependencies.

Dr. Mark Skousen’s Analysis

Dr. Skousen will review these budget items and discuss their potential effects on a group of five smaller domestic companies involved in defense technologies and critical minerals. The presentation will include details on each company’s role in the supply chain, such as drone systems, antimony processing, and rare earth elements.

The session will also address a planned policy adjustment regarding trade with China, scheduled for January 1, and its possible impact on domestic producers.

Historical spending periods provide context for the discussion. Following previous military engagements, certain companies in related sectors recorded notable performance. Examples include gains observed after the post-9/11 period, the Iraq conflict, and the response to events in Ukraine. Dr. Skousen will reference these cases as part of his broader market analysis.

Dr. Skousen added: “After reviewing the budget proposals and related intelligence, I have identified five companies that warrant attention. The June 30 session will provide a complete overview of the background, the specific opportunities, and the reasoning behind each selection.”
