The SPDR S&P Aerospace & Defense ETF (XAR) rose 4.75% on Thursday, November 7, 2026, bringing its share price to $224.22. The move marked a strong intraday recovery for the fund, which tracks a broad index of aerospace and defense companies listed in the S&P Total Market Index.
Despite the daily advance, XAR's performance over longer time horizons remains under pressure. The fund is down 1.42% over the past seven days and has shed 1.01% over the trailing 30-day period, reflecting a modest but persistent softness heading into the session's rebound.
The ETF's single-day jump of nearly five percent stands in contrast to its recent trend, suggesting Thursday's session represented a notable shift in momentum for the aerospace and defense segment. Market capitalization data for the fund was not available at the time of this report.
XAR offers exposure to a range of companies across the aerospace and defense industry, including both large-cap and mid-cap names. The fund's price movements are closely watched as an indicator of broader sentiment toward defense-related equities.
