The experts generally agree that Lockheed Martin (LMT-N) is a strong defense company with a good order book for fighter jets. There is consensus that the world's demand for defense will continue to benefit the company, and its R&D and innovation are strong. However, there are concerns about its valuation being high and some competition in the aerospace and defense sector. Despite these concerns, experts believe that the stock should continue to perform steadily and is considered good value for long-term investors.

He hates to say this, but the world will remain a violent place.

PARTIAL BUY
Lockheed Martin

He bought it because he wanted defence exposure. Unfortunately, the world will demand defense (Middle East, Ukraine, BRIC). LMT's order book for fighter jets is strong. He bought a small position, because the valuation is high--he bit the bullet. He will add on weakness. Their last report showed signs of life in the margins, now that supply chain problems are gone.

Take profits?

Has done well. Good backlog of contracts. Leader. Lots of innovation. Earnings growth in next little while might be a bit weaker. 22x forward earnings. Outcome of US election might sway strength of the stock one way or another. Bit expensive.

WEAK BUY
Lockheed Martin

A reasonable defensive company given world tensions. This will help their order book as defense budgets climb. Trades at a low 17x PE. A decent stock. He prefers RTX, because it also has an aerospace business in addition to defence, which is a hedge.

WEAK BUY
Lockheed Martin

The stock has been a dog, BUT pays a 3% dividend and run by a decent CEO.

Q4 EPS and revenue beat estimates but revenue declined by 0.6% year-over-year which was cause for concern and provides reasoning to LMT's pullback. There is definitely increased demand for defense contractors which should benefit LMT in the future, however the decline in sales offset that sentiment. Forecasts suggest modest revenue and EPS growth next year. We think despite the drop in revenue in Q4, LMT should continue to perform steadily, and looks to be good value with forward price-to-earnings ratio now coming down to 16.4x.

BUY
Lockheed Martin

Demand for products not going away (defense spending) with global tensions and war. Excellent brand name. Would recommend holding shares. R&D very strong at company. Good for long term investors. 

Transportation
WEAK BUY
Lockheed Martin

Geopolitics now will encourage governments to spend more on defence. The Ukraine war has persistent so long that there will need to be rebuilding of weapons stockpiles. That could make LMT interesting to own, and the market could allow a higher PE.

SELL
Lockheed Martin

He just sold it, stopped out. Their price action was horrible. If their is increase in demand spending, it will take a long time to reach the bottom line of LMT.

DON'T BUY
Lockheed Martin

Shows a downward, mediocre trend, unable to hold previous highs. It popped yesterday on the Israel-Hamas news and this could push it up further, but he's skeptical about the chart

Transportation
BUY
Lockheed Martin

Run by a good CEO, but shares are down because the market expects Washington to spend less on defence. A well-run company and shares are cheap.

Transportation
HOLD
Lockheed Martin

Would wait to buy shares.
Quality company - but trading expensive.
Demand for defense products not going away.
Better names to invest in - prefers Raytheon.
Defensive name for investors. 

Transportation
BUY
Lockheed Martin

Unfortunately, a good dynamic in defense with a war going on. Defense spending is increasing, and the benefit from this type of spending is not going away. This name would be a good way to play that.

Transportation
BUY ON WEAKNESS
Lockheed Martin

5 segments within business - has solid diversification. 
50% of business with US government.
Defensive name that is good long term hold.
Current share price high - would wait for shares to fall.

Transportation
DON'T BUY
Lockheed Martin

They won't grow in the next few years, but remain flat. He loves the defence industry though.
