LMT

LMT is no Intel. This ought to get interesting.

And my NOC and LMT bags are now subject to dilution and Mango tinted fingerprints? It was all cute with washed out Intel and getting a nice exit pump. This is real money for real retirement bags for me. Fk this guy and his racket.

In fascism, the State will tolerate no rivals, and all business must be subservient to the State. INTC and LMT and the golden share in Us Steel is only the beginning.

Wait Nutlick says they are looking to take a stake in LMT?? What the hell for? Not like they need money or are in danger of getting bought out by a rival or whatever...

I told you idiots LMT and I'll keep spitting it. You're betting against one of the largest defense stocks in the world in times of uncertainty and conflict in the world? Good luck. I picked a lot up at 410 and I'll continue to ride it

archiveshein

just a random thought post alaska conference, it really worried me Mango mentioned Nato as the first subject and contact after the meeting. I would say that one of the most important things that was happening this week was not the Alaska conference, but the new Russian Nuclear rockets tests; these were done to see if Pupin can get extra leverage on the negotiating tables, and basically if they did work and they managed to sort out all issues since 2017 (scientists dying due to radiation, 2/13 successes, 2023 lies to spook Nato), then Mango and Lockheed are in very deep shii. Since Obamas plan to arm countries like Poland with any sort of anti-missle systems was disbanded, there is not much underarmed EU and USA can do. Nato called it Skyfall for a reason after all, LMT Put

Admirable_Ad4308

For fun, I put your criteria into Grok and asked it to give me a stock recommendation that fits the criteria: Recommended Stock: Lockheed Martin (LMT) Based on the provided criteria from the Reddit post, Lockheed Martin (LMT) stands out as a strong investment candidate. It meets most of the key requirements, including superior long-term growth potential, financial stability, recession resilience, alignment with future trends like AI in defense, a sustainable dividend, and a robust competitive moat. Below, I’ll address each criterion point by point, using recent data as of August 2025. 1 CAGR above the S&P 500’s at over 10%?LMT’s 10-year total return CAGR (including dividends) is approximately 18%, outperforming the S&P 500’s 10-year CAGR of around 12.57% (as of May 2025, with similar trends holding into August). This exceeds the 10% threshold and beats the market benchmark, driven by steady defense contracts and innovation. If this growth continues, LMT offers better potential than simply holding an S&P 500 index fund. 19 20 2 Net income & revenue increasing on an annual basis? No negative net income?Yes, revenue has shown consistent growth: $65.98B (2022), $67.57B (2023), $71.04B (2024), and trailing twelve months (TTM) at $71.84B as of June 2025 (a 1.09% increase year-over-year). Net income remains positive and has fluctuated but trended upward overall: $5.73B (2022), $6.92B (2023), $5.34B (2024), and TTM at $4.20B (impacted by one-time charges but still solidly profitable). There are no instances of negative net income in recent years. 24 33 3 P/E in its low range historically?LMT’s current P/E ratio is approximately 23.87 (TTM), which is above its 10-year historical average of 19.94 but within a reasonable range considering recent highs (up to 47 in 2017). While not at the absolute low end, it’s below peaks and competitive with peers in the defense sector (industry median ~44). Tools like Koyfin can confirm this historical context. 42 47 4 Currently any discount compared to its all-time highs? Avoid all-time highs unless clear breakout.Yes, LMT trades at ~$426 (as of August 11, 2025), a ~29% discount from its all-time high of $602 in October 2024. This provides a margin of safety without being at peak levels, avoiding the risk of buying at highs. 53 5 Would the company fare well in a recession? Look at 2008 data.LMT demonstrated resilience during the 2008 financial crisis, dropping ~51% (vs. S&P 500’s 57% decline). It recovered in ~53 months (similar to the market’s 49 months). Defense spending often remains stable or increases during downturns due to national security priorities, as seen in LMT’s consistent performance. 61 6 Future prospects for the company? Aligns well with things like AI?LMT has strong prospects in AI-driven defense innovations, including the “AI Fight Club” initiative (launched in 2025) for testing AI in military scenarios across air, land, sea, and space. It aligns with trends like AI-enhanced nuclear propulsion, command systems, and cybersecurity. Global defense spending growth (e.g., NATO increases) and U.S. priorities in hypersonics and space further bolster its outlook. 70 73 76 7 If it pays a dividend, what is the dividend payout ratio? Too high and it’s unsustainable.LMT pays a quarterly dividend of $3.30 ($13.20 annualized), with a TTM payout ratio of ~57%. This is sustainable (below 60% threshold for safety), supported by strong cash flows ($5.3B free cash flow in 2024) and a 23-year streak of increases. It’s not overly high, leaving room for growth and reinvestment. 79 31 8 Does it have a moat/clear sticking power? Bonus if only one other main competitor.LMT has a wide economic moat from technological superiority (e.g., F-35 program), long-term government contracts (92.5% of revenue from U.S. government), high switching costs for customers, and barriers to entry in defense (capital intensity, regulations). It operates in an oligopoly with few peers like Boeing or Northrop Grumman, providing strong sticking power. 94 70 Overall, LMT aligns closely with the criteria, offering stability, growth, and income in a volatile market. It’s undervalued relative to its prospects, with analysts targeting ~$497 (15% upside). However, monitor defense budgets and geopolitical risks, as they drive demand. This is not financial advice—conduct your own due diligence.

erichang

I know we don't export F35 to China. Why not do some revenue sharing with LMT, too. /s

spacmann

Earlier today I issued a LMT buy order 300 contracts on the 8/29 $5 strike puts. Ask was $0.15, my limit was $0.13, it was for some reason very important for me to save those 2 cents. ONE contract got filled at $0.13, the order for the remaining 299 got canceled when market closed. Don't be me. ALWAYS USE MARKET ORDERS!!

LMT great buying opportunity rn

Ecstatic-Oil-Change

Palantir is one I won’t do. I found out ULTY ETF invested some into Pallantir and that alone made me sell it, at an 80 cent loss. Sure now I’m missing out on a weekly dividend, but idc. I will not invest in anything that involves them. From a financial investing standpoint, this was a horrible decision. From a moral standpoint, it was a great decision. … As I maintain some investments into Tesla and LMT. Either way, I don’t hate Elon as much as I do Peter Thiel.

Hacking_the_Gibson

PLTR has a market cap nearly greater than LMT, RTX, and BA combined. Government contracts, even military contracts, are not super high margin.

crazier_ed

would somebody think of poor LMT? they are gonna be hungry now!

Historical_Low4458

If you are talking stocks like LMT, then it's because the military imdustrial complex is still going to get paid regardless if everybody is homeless and starving. If you're talking about stocks like KR, then people still got to eat whether they are unemployed or not.

chrisdudelydude

No, LMT is the much better option, u/spence_ECU20 got it right here. LMT is not only more successful, but their valuation is much stronger following a big loss on a $1b contract they didn’t get, but they’ll bounce right back. LMT is WAYYYYY too integrated w the govt. I wouldn’t put chips w Northrop but OP is correct, LMT is an easy and screaming buy at these levels.

$LMT, $RTX, $NOC, $LDOS, Maybe $SAIC I'm currently a fan of the leveraged ETF $DFEN, I only see defense spending increase as it always have, and while Palantir is well positioned, their valuation is too ludacris. Russia's economic situation seems to suggest it won't stop at Ukraine, China has been eyeing Taiwan, I imagine since the strikes on Iran that won't be the last we hear from them, United States seems to be isolating itself more and more and losing the good will of allies internationally, suggesting a stronger reliance on hard power instead of soft power. international defense companies are a good bet too IMO. And if we don't engineer ourselves out of the climate crisis, resource scarcity is likely to cause more tension. That's reason alone for me, but if you're really looking for that X-factor to beat the market: [https://x.com/UFOB\_/status/1746144076385132829?t=jvX54tjV1HaKtRkUEIMLgw&s=19](https://x.com/UFOB_/status/1746144076385132829?t=jvX54tjV1HaKtRkUEIMLgw&s=19) [https://www.askapoluaps.com/p/exclusive-nancy-mace-says-on-contractors](https://www.askapoluaps.com/p/exclusive-nancy-mace-says-on-contractors) [https://www.democrats.senate.gov/newsroom/press-releases/majority-leader-schumer-and-republican-senator-mike-rounds-floor-colloquy-on-unidentified-anomalous-phenomena-provisions-in-the-ndaa-and-future-legislation-on-uaps](https://www.democrats.senate.gov/newsroom/press-releases/majority-leader-schumer-and-republican-senator-mike-rounds-floor-colloquy-on-unidentified-anomalous-phenomena-provisions-in-the-ndaa-and-future-legislation-on-uaps)

MidwayTrades

If you don’t own the shares, you’ll need a really big account (likely with portfolio margin) for a broker to allow you to naked short an underlying this big. The issue is assignment. If you were assigned, you’d be short 1000 shares which is very risky. Of course if LMT stays below your strike at expiration you could keep the $900 of premium which is all well and good but your broker is more worried about your ability to be short that many shares of a high priced stock. That’s going to take a 6, maybe even 7 figure account depending on how much margin they will want you to put up for that kind of risk. Any decent broker is going to vet you before allowing you to naked short anything, but especially something as big as LMT. Is $900 of premium at most worth the amount of capital you’d have to put up to do this trade?

Still learning options but I am looking to see if I understand the concept of selling a call option. If I sell a 10x AUG1 LMT 435 Calls at 0.90 Limit when the market opens on Monday, JUL28. 1. As long as LMT stays below 435 strike price by market close on AUG1, and I hold on to this option, and do nothing else I will be given the credit of ~$900.00 to my account? Is that correct? 2. If it exceeds 435 strike prior to AUG 1st I will have to buy the call options and suffer a loss? Am I correct? Or am I looking at this incorrectly. Assuming they are naked calls and I do not own the underlying security.

Medium_Cod6579

I'll never understand Reddit's obsession with long options. They've got their place (in spreads lol) but CSPs and CCs are much lower risk & generally turn out consistent, reliable gains. 0DTEs aren't much better than driving to Primm and picking a slot machine you like. The worst part here is that the strikes here are at good support levels, and the LMT strikes are what I'd personally have chosen.. but 25-45 days out, not 0DTEs. Also if you're going to play around earnings, look into straddles & strangles

Difficult-Tea-9103

Hi everyone, I just started investing earlier this week and I’m really new to this whole market. I intend to invest long term for safe passive income, not looking for any risky insane quick returns. I’m investing in the S&P 500 through VOO but I also want to put some money in an international index fund, VTX seems to be at all time high so is it worth investing in consistently? I’ll be riding out the S&P 500 until retirement but do international index funds also provide the same security or is it more volatile? If not VTX what would be better to invest in? Also I do want to buy long term stocks, is it still worth buying Nvidia? What are some other safe giant stocks I should be aware of that will always be part of society? (My current portfolio is VOO, VTX, NVDA, and LMT. Also not sure what the best percentage split is)

I knew or rather bet that Japanese tariffs would be rolled back so when first tariffs got announced and Japanese stocks dropped I bought the dip.

Japan is investing heavily, there is a historic monumental return to semiconductors in Japan where all big corporations united to put together Rapidus. Toyota, Sony etc all benefit from this initiative.  Fujifilm is not listed among main founders of Rapidus but Fujifilm produces important materials used in semiconductor manufacturing and are expanding their production to meet this new historic demand.
