Investment in Lockheed Martin Corporation (LMT) shares continues to surge, with numerous financial advisories, firms, and private investors such as Carnegie Investment Counsel, CWM LLC, and Davenport & Co LLC increasing their holdings. High levels of interest from investors suggests potential for future growth despite recent setbacks and JPMorgan's downgrade due to cash flow concerns. The stock continues to be a favourite among safe haven dividend investors.
The company's stock has seen a recent pullback, likely due to Pentagon's increased scrutiny over the F-35 program, and some shareholders, including HSBC Holdings and Park National Corp, have reduced their position. However, The Defence Giant's recent partnership with Google for AI and a $25 billion Pentagon contract expansion pushed the shares higher, alongside contracts with various government agencies. Further, securing a $52 million contract for rocket systems, and another with Sikorsky for up to 99 CH-53K King Stallion Helicopters indicates LMT has a potentially strong future revenue position.
Despite all, LMT's stock performance lags behind some Aerospace & Defence peers, and issues surrounding the F-35 fleet's availability have raised questions.
