Lockheed Martin received a Strong Buy rating as its Q2 sales increased 11% to $20.1 billion, supported by a record backlog of $230.4 billion and strong demand visibility. The company upgraded its free cash flow guidance for 2026 to $7–7.2 billion, driven by missile defense contracts like THAAD and PAC-3 MSE, which boosted the Missiles and Fire Control backlog by 88% in six months.
