Abstract

This paper analyzes abnormal returns around the EU’s Readiness 2030 defense initiative. Defense stocks saw strong positive returns, especially pre-announcement, while high-tech firms showed weak or negative returns—indicating no spillover effect to the tech sector and underscoring the role of industry classification in market reactions.
