General Dynamics Corporation (GD) — VMCI valuation read

Headline read on GD: VMCI of 57/100 versus a Industrials sector median of 50. The 7-point above-median position is what makes General Dynamics Corporation a relative-value candidate in the mid-cap cohort, before any pillar-level review.

Form 4 filings on GD: zero in the trailing 30 days. The absence of insider transactions is itself a data point, just a low-information one. The thesis runs on financials and price action until that changes.

**Investor frame.** Three reads on GD: value (GD trades at 17.0x earnings, 6% below the Industrials median of 18.0x), quality (ROIC of 15.0% sits 5.0pp above the Industrials median (10.0%)), and risk (net debt to EBITDA of 1.9x is the rate-sensitivity line to watch). The value read also implies an EV/EBITDA gap of +4.0x against the Industrials 12.0x baseline.

GD rose 2.7% over the trailing 7 days, with a +0.6% read on a 30-day basis.
