Stock Pulse
Lockheed Martin (LMT) saw a weekly gain of 5.17% following the development of a new, low-cost cruise missile [3]. The company secured several contracts, including a $266 million modification for F-16 upgrades [7], a $15.2 million contract for Navy sonar systems [2], and a $63.4 million contract for Trident II D5 missile production [5]. While LMT experienced strong 2024 sales and a record order backlog, Q4 2024 results fell short of expectations, and 2025 earnings are projected to be lower due to supply chain issues and F-35 program delays [4]. Despite near-term headwinds, LMT is investing in advanced technologies and is expected to see a rebound in 2026 [4], while its presence in the growing Asia-Pacific aircraft MRO market suggests a positive long-term outlook [1]. Several executives disclosed stock transactions, but these were routine compensation-related activities [11], [12], [13], [14], [15].
