Dividend coverage (FY2025)
Covered by reported results. In FY2025, GD's dividend was covered by reported results (earnings payout 38%, free-cash-flow payout 40%). This describes past coverage, not a forecast.
- Earnings payout38% dividends / net income
- Free-cash-flow payout40% dividends / (operating cash flow − capex)
Coverage derived from reported SEC EDGAR XBRL figures for FY2025 (dividends paid vs. net income and free cash flow, same fiscal year). This describes PAST coverage for one fiscal year — it does not predict whether a dividend will be maintained, raised, or cut, and a one-year payout ratio can be distorted by non-recurring items. Informational only — not financial advice.
How General Dynamics looks technically
General Dynamics (GD) is trading 7.0% below its 200-day average, the long-term trend line — a long-term downtrend. Its 50-day average crossed above its 200-day average about 65 trading days ago — a "golden cross", a bullish long-term signal. A strong downtrend is in place — ADX, a 0–100 trend-strength gauge, is 63, with sellers in control. Momentum is beaten down — its 14-day RSI (a 0–100 momentum gauge) is 28, in oversold territory (below 30). It made a new 20-day low about 2 trading days ago. It is 17.3% below its highest point of the past year.
Trend

| Distance from the 200-day | it is trading 7.0% below its 200-day average, the long-term trend line — a long-term downtrend | -7.0% |
|---|---|---|
| 50-day moving average | its average price over the last 50 trading days — a short-term trend line — is $364.90 | $364.90 |
| 200-day moving average | its average price over the last 200 trading days — the long-term trend line — is $354.89 | $354.89 |
| Swing structure | each recent peak has been lower than the one before it and each dip deeper — the pattern chart-watchers call a downtrend, which describes where price has already been and not where it goes next | lower highs and lower lows |
| Last swing turn | its last significant turn was a swing low 29 calendar days ago — the swings before that are what the structure reading is measured on | 29 sessions |
| Wave structure | its recent swings can be read as a five-part downward sequence — what Elliott-wave chartists call an impulse — now in the fourth leg, a pullback against that downward direction; the labelling fails if price closes above 374.04. It is the only labelling that fits, though not with textbook proportions, and it describes the swings already printed, not what comes next. | possible downward five-wave sequence, in wave 4 (atypical proportions) |

|---|---|---|
| Position in its 14-day range | it is trading in the lower half of its 14-day range ($322.03 to $355.05) — its "stochastic" reading is 24 out of 100, where 0 would mean closing exactly at the 14-session low and 100 exactly at the high. This measures WHERE the price sits inside its recent range, which is a different question from the RSI beside it: RSI is a momentum gauge, measuring how FAST the price has been moving, so a stock can drift quietly to the bottom of its range with an ordinary RSI, or fall sharply and still sit in the middle. It has been climbing within that range over the last few sessions. | 23.8 |
| Since the MACD crossed zero | MACD, a trend-momentum gauge, is in negative territory (momentum leaning bearish) | 38 sessions |

| Given back of the 52-week move | over the past year its closes ranged ($312.53 to $395.97), and it has given back well over two thirds of its rise from last year’s low — 79% of it. Chart-watchers call 61.8%-65% given back the "golden pocket" — for this company that is $341.73 to $344.40. It is watched widely enough that orders cluster there, which is the honest reason it matters; it is not a forecast. | 79.2% |
| From the all-time high | it is 17.3% below its all-time high | -17.3% |
| Nearest price level | it is sitting right on a resistance level at $331.41 — a price it turned at 8 times since 2025-08-28, most recently on 2026-06-03. Since 2024-10-08 it has 8 such levels below the current price and 6 above. Levels like these describe where the price has reversed or paused before; they are not a forecast of where it will go. | +0.5% |
| All-time low | its lowest closing price on record is $15.56 (set on 1996-07-30) | $15.56 |

Volatility

| Band width vs its own 6 months | day-to-day price swings are wider than usual versus its own recent 6-month history (wider than about 77% of it) | 77th percentile |
|---|---|---|
| Typical daily range | in a typical session it travels about $6.33 between its high and its low — about 1.9% of its price. That is its "average true range" over the last 14 sessions, which also counts the distance from the previous close, so a day that opens well away from yesterday counts as the large move it was | $6.33 |
| Bollinger bands (20-day, ±2σ) | most of its recent trading has stayed between about $318.84 and $364.63 — the "Bollinger bands", a range drawn two standard deviations either side of its 20-day average price, which widens when the stock gets more volatile and narrows when it settles | $318.84 – $341.73 – $364.63 |
| Typical daily range (% of price) | its price moves about 1.9% in a typical session — among the calmest in the catalog. This is the average gap between a session's high and low over the last 14 sessions, counting overnight moves, expressed against the current price so it can be compared with companies trading at any price | 1.9% |
| Stretch from the 200-day average | it is trading 4.0 daily ranges below its 200-day average price (7.0% below it in plain percentage terms) — a way of asking how far it has stretched from its own average in units of how far it normally moves in a day, so a calm company and a jumpy one can be compared on the same scale | 4.0 daily ranges below its 200-day average |

Signal agreement
2
| Bullish technical signals | 2 of the 9 technical signals we can compute for it are currently in a bullish state: a "golden cross" — its 50-day average is above its 200-day, its RSI momentum gauge is oversold (a beaten-down reading) — these describe past price behaviour, not a forecast | 2 of 9 |
|---|---|---|
| Bearish technical signals | 6 of the 9 technical signals we can compute for it are currently in a bearish state: trading below its 200-day average, a fresh 20-day low, MACD momentum is negative, a strong downtrend, with sellers in control, lagging the market over 6 months, trading below the Ichimoku cloud — these describe past price behaviour, not a forecast | 6 of 9 |
Trend (Ichimoku cloud)
1
| Vs the Ichimoku cloud | trading 11% below the Ichimoku cloud — a band drawn from where its own highs and lows sat up to 2026-09-01 and projected forward over today's price, the side traders read as an established downtrend, with the band above acting as the level that would have to be cleared. The band itself is moderate, spanning 3.7% of the share price. | -10.8% |
|---|
Volume-weighted price
2
| Vs this year’s average price paid | the price is 7% below the average price paid so far this year, so the typical buyer over that stretch is under water. That average is $354.11 — a volume-weighted average of daily closes over 190 sessions, not a true tick-by-tick VWAP. | -6.8% |
|---|---|---|
| Vs the average paid since it last reported | the price is 9% below the average price paid since it last reported on 2026-07-29 (its 10-Q), so the typical buyer over that stretch is under water. That average is $360.79 — a volume-weighted average of daily closes over 51 sessions, not a true tick-by-tick VWAP. | -8.6% |
Price levels it has turned at before
GD last closed at $329.90 on 2026-10-08. Since 2024-10-08 it has turned at 8 prices below its last close and 6 above; the 3 nearest below and the 3 nearest above are listed, nearest first.
| Level | Side | Distance | Evidence |

A level is a price this company reversed or paused at more than once — they describe past behaviour, not a forecast of where the price will go.
Wave structure
Its recent swings can be read as a five-part downward sequence — what Elliott-wave chartists call an impulse — now in leg 4 of five, a pullback against that direction.
This labelling fails — stops being a possible reading at all — if it closes above $374.04.
It is the only labelling that fits these swings, though its proportions are not the textbook ones.
On past moves of this shape the leg has usually ended somewhere between $362.81 and $374.04 — that is where it has tended to end if the count holds, not a forecast of where the price goes.
This reading has stood for 17 trading days, since 2026-09-16.

Management's Discussion & Analysis (MD&A)
- Added:
- Newer filing (2026-07-29): In the Aerospace tariff discussion, states that 'In February 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court held that tariffs imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) were unauthorized, and a phased process was developed to refund the previously paid tariffs. To date, we have received refunds of some of these tariffs. However, the timing of collection of remaining tariff refunds is uncertain. Overall, tariffs as applied in their current form and tariffs yet to be refunded are not material to our results of operations.' This more detailed tariff refund disclosure replaces the earlier version's tariff discussion.
- Newer filing (2026-07-29): Identifies the business as 'our Aerospace group' in the sentence about strong demand for business jets; older filing simply said 'Aerospace'.
- Newer filing (2026-07-29): Adds 'the administration's support for further increases' as a stated reason demand for munitions products is expected to remain elevated; older filing cited 'ongoing conflicts and regional threats'.
- Removed:
- Older filing (2026-04-29): Contains a paragraph beginning 'We entered 2026 with the government operating under a continuing resolution (CR)....' including statements about full-year appropriations enacted in early February for all federal departments except the Department of Homeland Security, which remained partially shutdown, and that the shutdown had not had a material impact on the business. This entire paragraph is absent from the newer filing.
- Older filing (2026-04-29): In the tariff discussion, includes the specific date 'February 20, 2026' for the Supreme Court ruling, reference to 'Customs and Border Protection (CBP)' establishing a refund process, and the final sentence 'Non-IEEPA tariffs continue to impact the business, but do not present a significant burden in their current form.' These specific details and the final sentence are absent from the newer filing.
- Reworded:
- Newer filing (2026-07-29) replaces 'We entered 2026... regional threats.' section in older filing with a streamlined version that omits the continuing resolution/shutdown discussion and condenses the shipbuilding discussion. Older filing (2026-04-29) states 'The increased demand has placed great pressure on the shipbuilding industrial base'; newer states 'The increased demand has placed pressure on the shipbuilding industrial base' (removal of word 'great').
- Newer filing (2026-07-29) describes demand for munitions as 'expected to remain at an elevated level given ongoing conflicts and the administration's support for further increases'; older filing (2026-04-29) described it as 'expected to remain at an elevated level given ongoing conflicts and regional threats.'
- Newer filing (2026-07-29) describes the tariff situation: 'In February 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court held that tariffs imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) were unauthorized, and a phased process was developed to refund the previously paid tariffs. To date, we have received refunds of some of these tariffs. However, the timing of collection of remaining tariff refunds is uncertain. Overall, tariffs as applied in their current form and tariffs yet to be refunded are not material to our results of operations.' Older filing (2026-04-29) stated: 'On February 20, 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court held that tariffs imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) were not authorized. Following the ruling, Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has established a process to refund previously-paid IEEPA tariffs. However, the timing of the collection of previously paid IEEPA tariffs is uncertain. These developments were not material to our results of operations. Non-IEEPA tariffs continue to impact the business, but do not present a significant burden in their current form.'
- Notes:
- The newer filing text appears truncated mid-sentence in the final paragraph of the Results of Operations Introduction ('Therefore, changes in costs incurred in the period compared with prior periods do not'). The older filing also appears truncated at 'Performance ref'. This truncation limits comparison of content beyond that point, but the available text before truncation was compared.
- Page number references differ between documents (newer page 27 vs older page 25 for the Aerospace discussion), which is a formatting artifact rather than a substantive change.
Risk Factors
- Added:
- In the filing dated 2026-07-29, added a new disclosure under Item 2 about an unregistered sale of up to approximately 300,000 shares of common stock offered and sold to participants in the 3.0 Plan, 6.0 Plan, and Represented Employees Plan from July 1, 2025 through June 30, 2026.

- In the filing dated 2026-07-29, added disclosure of intent to make a rescission offer to participants in the Plans who purchased company common stock in plan accounts from July 1, 2025 through June 30, 2026, and that the company does not expect a material impact on financial condition, results of operation, or liquidity.
- Removed:

- Reworded:
- In the filing dated 2026-07-29, the Item 2 table covers second-quarter purchases with periods changed from Q1 (1/1/26-2/1/26, 2/2/26-3/1/26, 3/2/26-4/5/26) to Q2 (4/6/26-5/3/26, 5/4/26-5/31/26, 6/1/26-7/5/26).
- In the filing dated 2026-07-29, the public share buyback program and restricted stock vesting table numerical values changed, including maximum shares that may yet be purchased (6,129,323 to 5,836,429) and the addition of a new footnote stating the Board authorized repurchase of up to 10 million additional shares on December 4, 2024.
- In the filing dated 2026-07-29, Item 5 quarter reference changed from April 5, 2026 to July 5, 2026.
- In the filing dated 2026-07-29, Exhibit 22 changed from incorporated by reference from the Form 10-Q filed July 23, 2025 to filed electronically therewith.
- Notes:
- The author is comparing the entire submitted texts, but the request specifically asks for the Risk Factors section. In both filings, the Risk Factors section states no material changes from the Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025. Changes noted above are from Item 2, Item 5, Item 6, and Signature page of the same texts.

Reported to FINRA as of the 2026-09-15 settlement date. Short interest is reported to FINRA and published on a delayed, bi-monthly schedule (as of a settlement date, disseminated roughly eight business days later) — it is NOT real-time, does not cover every venue or all US trading, and is not a short-squeeze prediction or investment advice. Days-to-cover is the value FINRA reports; percent of float is not shown because the source file carries no share-count denominator — where a percent appears it is of shares OUTSTANDING, the larger base, and is therefore a floor on percent of float.
