Lockheed Martin is currently trading 24% below its 52-week high despite strong demand signals and a $186.4 billion backlog. The proposed $1.5 trillion U.S. defense budget for 2027 includes a 28% base increase, favoring Lockheed's core programs and munitions growth. The company benefits from 7-year inflation-indexed contracts that reduce growth risks and is moving toward Dividend Aristocrat status with a 2.57% yield and 23 years of dividend increases. While Lockheed trades below peers on earnings multiples, it faces risks related to execution and budget approvals, with potential upside if defense budgets are realized.
