Investment manager; 10% owner of bomb-body maker General Dynamics
Asset manager · Organization
Longview Asset Management is a Chicago-area investment manager that holds a 10% owner position in General Dynamics, the U.S. weapons manufacturer whose Garland plant was named in Feb 2025 as principal contractor for 35,529 MK-84 or BLU-117 bomb bodies for Israel. In May 2026 Longview filed an initial Form 3 as a 10% owner after GD's buybacks shrank its share count, as disclosed in GD's April 29, 2026 Form 10-Q. The filing reports no pecuniary interest for Longview itself, which means it holds the stake for other beneficial owners who prefer not to be named. GD booked about $170.1B in revenue and $13.6B in net earnings from 2023 to June 2026, and its biggest owners gain as the bombs it supplied are used in Gaza.
