Diversified Industrials Expertise

FBR's Diversified Industrials Investment Banking and Research groups cover aerospace & defense, capital goods, electrical products, engineering & construction, government IT, multi-industry & electrical equipment and specialty contracting.

Diversified industrials is an area in which research plays a critical role for our clients, and we offer what we believe to be the most comprehensive defense, aerospace, government IT and homeland security coverage in the industry. Most importantly, as a Washington, D.C. metropolitan area firm, FBR brings an on-the-ground perspective to its government-related research.

Additionally, FBR’s Washington Policy Analysis group provides a vital regulatory and legislative overlay to our company analysis – particularly in the homeland security, environmental services, defense and defense electronics industries. The businesses of companies in these industries tend to be impacted by shifts in federal policy and spending, and the Washington Policy group has valuable access to the thinking of those who help shape the legislative agenda.
