João Lampreia: "The increase in defense spending always has a cost"

SAPO Notícias1 September 2026 at 08:43

João Lampreia, market specialist at Freedom24, warned that the increase in defense spending always carries an economic cost. In an interview, the analyst acknowledged that there is overheating in the defense sector, but argued that this phenomenon is uneven and does not affect all companies and industry segments in the same way.

Lampreia also explained where the true value currently lies in the defense sector's supply chain. The specialist emphasized that not all investments in this sector offer the same opportunities, making it necessary to distinguish between different levels of the production chain to identify where the greatest return potentials are.

Freedom24, the investment platform where Lampreia works, has been closely monitoring the evolution of the defense sector globally, particularly in the context of increasing military spending in various countries. The analyst suggests that investors should be selective and carefully analyze each company before investing in this expanding sector.
