LONDON, March 21, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --
Earlier this month, lawmakers in Washington D.C. failed to reach a deal on reducing U.S.'s fiscal deficit.

Nearly half of the spending cuts will be made in defense, which will have a significant impact on the topline of companies such as Smith & Wesson Holding Corporation (NASDAQ: SWHC), Rockwell Collins Inc. (NYSE: COL), Raytheon Company (NYSE: RTN), and Northrop Grumman Corporation (NYSE: NOC). On Wednesday, aerospace and defense stocks ended mostly higher, tracking gains in the broad market.
