Lockheed Martin: Why I Still See Attractive Upside
Summary
I am maintaining my STRONG BUY rating on Lockheed Martin. The company's record backlog, improving execution, and raised 2026 guidance reinforce my bullish thesis.
I believe future growth will be driven by missile-defense demand, F-35 production and sustainment, and broader military modernization efforts across the U.S. and allied nations.
Shares trade at roughly 15 to 16x FWD Non-GAAP earnings and around 12 to 13x FWD EV/EBITDA, which I view as reasonable for a company with Lockheed's competitive position and cash-flow profile. But it does not appear to fully reflect the company's backlog strength and earnings visibility.
On December 12th, we will be bringing together investors and long-term thinkers at Fairmont Mt. Kenya Safari Club, Nanyuki for the Annual Henriot Capital Investor’s Summit. A full day of research, markets, meaningful conversations and shared experiences, built around one idea: long-term wealth conversations for future generations. Request an invitation below.
