Lockheed Martin Corp (LMT) has been a trending topic among investors, showing mixed performance despite solid Q1 2024 earnings, beating analyst expectations. The multinational aerospace company has recently seen institutional investors owning around 75% of the company, indicating substantial confidence in the firm. Of note was
Jump Financial LLC's holding of $318,000 in the company and
US Bancorp DE's $71.93 million position. Additionally,
Heather Wilson has been elected to the firm's board of directors. While the company's stock performance underperformed on some days compared to competitors, the stock did outperform on strong trading days and even when the market was in decline.
Vltava Fund divested its LMT holdings, and there was an 8% rise in share price within a month, making it a favorite among certain market participants. Some concerns raised include the issue that price is out of tune with earnings and that there may be problems piling up. However, LMT has maintained strong cash flow, record backlog, and an upgrade from
J.P. Morgan based on valuation. Business metrics point towards a healthy balance sheet and underline LMT's robust profitability. Of interest is the $451 million contract from the U.S. Army to aid missile production and the company's successful LRASM flight test.
