LMT

Yes I have like 5k in LMT but I‘m not sure if LMT can outperform the S&P.

If u r willing to hold it for a long time but don't want to mess around, just buy LMT. With any high beta like onds you should know it's the pure lottery bet for 10y or you need to keep your finger on the pulse

DMN_LQMT

More to this story from my friend Parakleet: The MTA states that the agreement is fully paid up and “royalty-free.” But it turns out not to be the whole story. This provision that allows LQMT to charge Apple royalty fees. The MTA defines LQMT technology as “any and all Intellectual Property and Intellectual Property Rights \[owned by LQMT\] during \*\*the Capture Period.”\*\* The original Capture Period ran from August 5, 2010 through February 5, 2012. But Apple and LQMT then signed 3 amendments to the MTA which extended the capture period to February 5, 2016. And that’s important because... The MTA, on page 1 states that: “For purposes of clarification, however, improvements or derivatives of LMT Technology first created, conceived, invented, or discovered \*\*after the Capture Period shall not be ‘LMT Technology’”\*\* So any LQMT technology, patented or otherwise, that LQMT developed after Feb. 5, 2016 \*\*is not covered by the MTA,\*\* and if Apple needs that technology, LQMT can require royalties.

Conflict in the middle east is good for the war machine though. Give it a year or two- RTX, BA, LMT, NOC, GD will all be very lucrative.

LMT is following an identical pattern to tesla from jan 2025 until now. that's why i bought calls (unfortunately there wasnt too much volume, but i made 800% overnight). anyway, this basically means LMT will surpass ATH by december

No_Presentation9490

its LMT, do you even trade

MikeCheck_CE

I'm not an expert on them entirely but I know that they recently acquired BIRD Aerosystems, an Israeli-origin company and its airborne missile-protection/ISR technology into ONDS. BIRD has systems deployed on hundreds of aircraft globally. That seems to me a more meaningful connection rather than simply an incidental customer relationship. I do still hold some defense stocks, but I try to keep ones that are focused on NATO allies (and maybe occasionally selling to Israel/ Middle East) and not doing business with them directly. I did a bit of other digging into it after I realized and can tell you that: I'm a hard no on: Elbit, Rafael, IAI as pretty directly involved with Israel. And I'd probably avoid: LMT, RTX, NOC, GD, Boeing, L3Harris as Israel being a pretty meaningful market for them.

Beetlejuice_hero

People are so weird. Deep down, though they would deny it, many people want the warm embrace of a ubiquitous nanny state. I don’t willingly walk into a gay strip club and complain about seeing dicks & balls. Cigarettes are bad for you so I don’t smoke. I love beer but keep it to a couple days a month (usually football Sundays). I don’t care for Facebook or Instagram so I simply don’t use it beyond Marketplace for selling crap around the house or buying a dresser. It’s that easy. As for minors, parents should parent like you said. And though not a panacea, I’m in favor of cell phone bans at school. I feel much grossing owning Raytheon & LMT in my S&P holdings.

rampagepete

There’s 3-4 competing trends with none showing prominence at the moment. I’m still fairly defensive with a large healthcare tranche for the midterm rally. I have some energy, a long term call on CRAK that’s been printing, i have some GLD. I’ve had some military defense names like LMT and RTX.. I sold out of semis, but i have a large 50k or so Google position. I bought apple as well, their costs for chips won’t matter as they’ll pass that cost to their very loyal customer base. If the AI trade can hold up I’ll begin adding again. For software i have CRM and Sailpoint. A lot of names in agentic security are too pricey - i think sailpoint could 5x or get acquired

JMarie1982

Set your order type to EXTO. If it says LMT or DAY then it won't go through.

Practical-Injury-622

Bro, just buy a few LMT shares and let it ride

Immediate-Operation3

Ultimately if their growth looks like it will outrun the dilution then I won’t reduce. They also have some key players involved including LMT and PLTR partnerships and investments into other drone companies like UMAC. Last week David Barnea, former Mossad director joined ONDS as well. Not sure exactly what his role is but with the recent defense bill creating the United States of Israel I think he will be a great asset. Aside from the dilution which is more of a double edged sword, there is not a lot of negatives I see.

Independent-Cloud822

I don't know if Ukraine is going to win the war or if Russia is going to win the war. and I don't know if Iran will win the war or if the USA will win the war, but I'm pretty sure LMT and RTX stockholders will win the war.

LMT has been doing great for me. I bought some from last winter and took profits list time it spiked. Then I came back and bought more later https://preview.redd.it/f33tsbey6nhh1.png?width=827&format=png&auto=webp&s=67181b1628f50852cda0bea4ea9372f8574150db

sdanielsmith

It takes awhile to spin those factories back up to real speed. That inventory was built over decades. But yes, LMT, RTX, maybe Northrup Grumman too. But again, I wouldn't expect amazing gains overnight. Those companies build missiles, but it's hardly all they do. Probably not even the bulk of what they do.

SpecialistTutor4451

8-12 max. I’d keep MA, V, KO, Google, COST, LMT, CVX, LLY.

Freedom of the Press is obviously critical - but when does leaking shit like this cross over into recklessness? Maybe we should send out a memo to China suggesting the best time they should invade Taiwan 🤦‍♂️ Also, calls on LMT [https://www.cnbc.com/2026/08/04/us-has-used-virtually-all-of-its-long-range-precision-missiles-report.html](https://www.cnbc.com/2026/08/04/us-has-used-virtually-all-of-its-long-range-precision-missiles-report.html)

Seriously considering adding calls to my share positions in NOC & LMT.

Does anyone like LMT stock. I like because of the 3.45 cents a share pay out

After everything with semiconductors this past week I think anything in that sector is a safe bet. Other than that I’m bullish on WW3 so global security stocks like LMT

Big days for LMT ahead

i have a substantial position in ondas and LMT.

UntitledCSGO

RTX or LMT are natural picks druing geopolitical uncertainty. Gov contracts are stable regardless of the economy. The dip is sentiment driven, not business driven. They tend to recover faster.

Ya'll are sleeping on defense while these massive budgets are getting passed. Look at the big ones: LMT, NOC, RTX. All up big the past month

Who trades on the NYSE that are major NATO defense revenue winners? Standard bunch of LMT, RTX, GD, NOC, BA? Quick google search to my own question: Yes

Waste-Head7963

It will definitely pass the senate. Congress was the whole point. We may see more war in the future. No wonder LMT pumped 10% after earnings. Maybe weapon stocks is the way.

PandaOk4050

Microsoft is the play. If it doesn't beat earnings, it won't drop any lower. But if its beats, within a couple weeks itll easily go up past 430.  If meta shits, it still has lower to drop IMO.  LMT and MSFT look similar on my charts. People called me crazy for buying LMT calls 3 weeks ago. 

PandaOk4050

My chart is litterly day candles and 5 MA's. 7 , 20, 60, 100 and 360. Absolutely amazing. Shows you different references of all the traders.  If I good company is trading near 360 line, and the other lines are above current price, a catalyst will send it off to the highs within weeks. (LMT) If price is above all MA's and longterm traders arent selling off, thats when you get the new highs (Roku , O). 

TitoJbroz

Why is everyone betting on shit like NOW and ORCL, when you have top of the line companies like LMT and RTX posting and being backed by the us government and a never ending backlog of orders, that have basically gone nothing but up since 2023?

That was my philosophy dropping cash into defense stocks like LMT. I don't want to see us in stupid ass wars but if they're already gonna do it, I might as well also reap the same benefits they were going to.

Rock_or_Rol

AVAV - NDAA & 500 million contract in the works. Might pull back with class action headlines but it might reclaim a lot of their SCAR contract DAMD, USO and short everything - in case the war keeps up… we are escalating. We hit a desalination plant today. If refineries start blowing up again, we might not get out of this.. the oil shock is already bad news around the globe and that was during the MOU. It’s not a light switch and the market is entirely dependent on AI being worth trillions of dollars.. and then there are open source threats MP - benefits from the NDAA and they’re going to subsidize the frick out of magnets. LMT will probably get a double beat Crypto lobby has a lot of money and there’s a certain global leader who can’t get enough of it.. SMRs will probably get subsidized soon too. A lot of billionaires seem to own their own company of one… gates, bezos etc. CQQQ might be a bet too with their memory IPO

SomePolack

NOC / LMT / BAE all make drones  There are other established defense contractors that make them too They’re all better bets because they have bigger portfolios

LMT and HAL earnings next week

okievikes

lol I had a personal finance class when I was 14 and graphene was just coming out as the next big thing. I told my parents to invest in Lockheed Martin @ \~$130 a share because they were researching it. LMT has skyrocketed since but it’s certainly not because of graphene! Parents never listened to me anyways.

Etherius

Frankly this is Linux all over again. Everyone thought companies would clamor for Linux because everyone could make their OS do whatever they wanted. Instead we wound up with fractured and fragmented distributions that companies who had no business employing armies of SWEs would ever have the ability to capitalize on. Which is why Microsoft is a trillion dollar company today and Linus Torvalds isn’t a trillionaire. Who has the equipment and manpower to train their own LLM besides the LLM operators? You think a company like LMT is going to waste resources building their own model?

Aerospace — LMT, RTX, NOC

Rock_or_Rol

If you have the income, just stop with the short term trades lol. You could just pop a few grand in OTM/ATM quarterlies for some high beta stocks with upcoming catalysts and then hedge with some puts A lot of bills are being pushed through congress for rare earths, defense/drones, quantum and aerospace right now. AVAV is likely to get the $500 million laser contract for drone defense before their next earnings. You might get lucky on SCAR news too INFQ is likely to benefit the most from sensor tech from the defense bill and then subsequent quantum bills, IONQ a close second. RIOT is building out a new data center and they’ll bring IMSR with them.. which has been pushing through regulation and permitting for their DOE pilot project They’re subsidizing the fuck out of rare earths. MP is probably the most to benefit. LMT will probably rock their earnings with a double beat next week Quit fucking with dailies, lol. Just get some good stuff at a good price and keep building it into their catalysts. This week and next week are the time to buy. Buy the stocks that usually win on their earnings like SMCI and APLD. Hedge with oil calls and speculative puts. Data centers look like they want to puke another 20%. OKLO might get back down to their 20s. This is the week to buy. Don’t give up now

1/4 of my port of defense stocks. But no amount of war makes them go up. I made my peace with this fact by now. In 2030 there will be no LMT, NOC, HII... 100% of the Pentagon budget will be spent at Starbucks.

Gamer6322

calls or puts on LMT?

IndexFundPhil

yeah VTI is basically the whole US market in one ticker, so owning it means you already have LMT and NOC at their market cap weight. no extra work required. glad it was helpful!

Southern_Roll_7035

The difference is that dividends come from the earnings of the underlying company, whereas the stock price is determined by what another market participant is willing to pay for the stock at a given point in time. Dividends tend to give much more stable growth over the long term, and aren't subject to quick drawdowns due to negative market sentiment. I have no idea what the stock price of LMT is going to be in 15 years, but, given that they have been consistently raising their dividends \~5%/yr, I can make a good estimate that the dividend, currently $3.45/qtr, will be about $7. This is money I can build a long term financial plan around.

jcpopm

Well, the issue becomes that strategy is likely to be a loser for most tickers. Since 2022 for example the S&P has beaten LMT by 10%, and a lot of tickers are in a similar situation. Buying and holding growth stocks can make some sense, but these big defense primes and even the hyperscalers given their huge market caps are going to be hard to see the kind of percent gains that we historically have seen.

IndexFundPhil

LMT and NOC are solid companies but just a heads up — dividends aren't free money, the share price drops by the dividend amount on ex-div date. both of these are already in VTI at market cap weight, so a total market fund gives you the same exposure without the single-stock risk. worth considering if you're aiming for long-term

jcpopm

I snagged a bunch of LMT around 400 last July and rode it up with the war but didn't have the heart to ride it all the way back down and sold half of it near the top. I just feel like the way the market has been the last few years the traditional idea of a long-term buy and hold is kind of dying. Drawdowns in out of favor tickers have become so big now that holding something after it gets its time in the sun pretty much just guarantees no return over a longer timeframe. The companies are great, they will definitely be involved in the new space race, but the market would rather take a chip company with 12 employees up 6000% right now so buying anything near a 52-week low almost guarantees a new 52-week low.

In three years I will get 50% of Lieutenant Colonel pay then any disability from three deployments to AFG and getting a Purple Heart. I buy a share of VOO a month then a share of LMT, PLTR, and NVDA. Then I also have 7500 shares of HUMA that are busting my balls right now. The science is great already have FDA approval but slow sales for the first product. Hopefully dialysis approval gets it moving back in the right direction.
