About: Lockheed Martin is the world's largest defense contractor and has dominated the Western market for high-end fighter aircraft since it won the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter program in 2001. Aeronautics is Lockheed's largest segment, which derives upward of two-thirds of its revenue from the F-35. Lockheed's remaining segments are rotary and mission systems, mainly encompassing the Sikorsky helicopter business; missiles and fire control, which creates missiles and missile defense systems; and space systems, which produces satellites and receives equity income from the United Launch Alliance joint venture.

Lockheed Martin: Strength And Opportunity In A Geopolitically Complex World
Lockheed Martin combines strategic leadership and stable operations, with solid growth in key programs, like the F-35 and precision missiles in Q1 2025. Valuation is reasonable, with a P/E FWD of 17.1x and PEG of 1.87, offering better profitability and cash flow than competitors like RTX (P/E > 24x) and Northrop Grumman (PEG 4.5x). Lockheed Martin excels in profitability: ROE over 70%, EBIT margin of 13.9%, and strong free cash flow margin (9.9%), supporting an attractive 2.7% dividend and ongoing buybacks.

Lockheed Martin: Well Positioned For Tomorrow's Wars
Lockheed Martin is well positioned for future growth, driven by increasing demand for drones, anti-drone systems, and cybersecurity solutions. Despite recent share price declines and stagnant revenues, I believe LMT will outperform as global defense spending rises and allies increase F-35 orders. LMT's reasonable valuation, strong operating margins in cybersecurity, and robust product lineup make it an attractive investment opportunity.
