GovCon Index Marks 6th Straight Winning Week

Executive Mosaic’s GovCon Index endured the roller coaster ride during the holiday-shortened week. Besides closing 0.64% higher on Feb. 23, 2024, the index that tracks the performance of 30 notable government contractors marked six straight winning weeks. At $4,839.92, the week-to-week gain is 1.1%.

Like the GCI, Wall Street’s major indexes advanced more than 1% for the week. The S&P 500 rose above 5,000 for the first time on Friday, while the 31,131.53 closing of the Dow Jones Industrial Average is a new all-time high. The Nasdaq Composite edged lower but is only 60.62 points away from matching its all-time closing high of 16,057.44.

Except for the 0.45% drop on Tuesday, GovCon Index stocks fared better, where gainers outnumbered decliners the rest of the week. Notably, Fluor (NYSE: FLR) tanked 12.73% to start the week. Parsons (NYSE: PSN) made the most significant jump two days later and led 18 advancers. The stock rose 5.51% on Thursday to $79.44 after the company announced obtaining major contracts from a real estate development company in Saudi Arabia and Oakland City’s Department of Transportation.
