Company Report

Lockheed Martin's Broad Portfolio and Scale Make It the Bellwether of the Defense Industry

Lockheed derived nearly 75% of its $71 billion in 2024 sales servicing contracts from the US military, with the largest annual budget on Earth, and stands to operate the largest defense procurement program ever awarded (F-35) through the 2060s. Thus, as a bet on the defense industry, Lockheed is hard to beat. Biggest isn't always best, but Lockheed (and investors) benefit from the sheer scale of its tens of billions of dollars of contracts that provide defined decadeslong revenue and profit streams.

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. 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.
