Further upside could be in sight for defense contractor AeroVironment amid a rise in demand, according to Baird. Analyst Peter Arment upgraded the stock to outperform, in addition to raising its price target to $128 from $95. The new price target suggests shares could rally more than 34% from Tuesday's close. AeroVironment is a "leader in small [unmanned air system] UAS contracts," Arment wrote in a Wednesday note. He noted the U.S. Army is set to award a new multiyear contract for AeroVironment's small UAS systems, which will support a broad range of the company's product base.

Adoption of AeroVironment's Switchblade drone will be a key driver for the company, he said. It is not clear how often the U.S. military has utilized the Switchblade drone in theater. AeroVironment makes the Switchblade 300 and the 600; both are equipped with cameras, navigation systems and guided explosives. The 300 variant is designed to strike small targets, weighs a little more than 5 pounds and has a range of 10 miles. Each single-use Switchblade 300 is estimated to cost $6,000, according to an NBC News report.

Baird said it's time for investors to consider putting their money in Lockheed Martin , a "pure-play" defense stock with limited downside risk. Analyst Peter Arment upgraded shares of the defense contractor to outperform, saying in a note to clients that F-35 fighter jet contract negotiation delays from the first half of the year are largely in the "rearview mirror." Lockheed Martin's latest quarterly figures topped analyst, due in part to higher sales of its F-35 accounting for roughly 70% of its aeronautics revenue and 28% of total company sales. "With robust cash generation still intact, coupled with buyback momentum in a highly volatile equity market, the downside in the LMT stock from current levels is likely limited," he wrote. — CNBC's Michael Bloom contributed reporting
