Lockheed Martin Earnings: Mixed-to-Good Results; Valuation Increased by $4 to $486

Nicolas Owens

Lockheed Martin reported first-quarter 2024 results on April 23, in which some programs delivered double-digit growth, with cost growth in other areas muting overall results. We saw over $2 billion in revenue appear sooner in the year than we anticipated. Still, only $100 million translated to operating profit in the first quarter, which we hadn't already forecast. Management reiterated its 2024 expectations, we did not change our forecast, and we are raising our fair value estimate for the wide-moat defense juggernaut to $486 from $482, essentially only for the time value of money.

Bulls Say, Bears Say

Bulls

Lockheed Martin’s prime contractor role on the F-35, the largest weapon program in history, should deliver stable revenue for decades through procurement and maintenance.

Bears

Lockheed Martin depends on US military funding for its sales, which is an inherently political and thus uncertain process.

Company Profile

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. Lockheed’s largest segment is aeronautics, which derives upward of two-thirds of its revenue from the F-35. Lockheed’s remaining segments are rotary and mission systems, which is mainly 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.
