Lockheed Martin rated buy on $230B backlog and strong growth in missile, air defense, and F-35 programs.

Lockheed Martin received a buy rating driven by its record $230 billion backlog and strong growth across multiple business segments, including missile and air defense programs like PAC-3 and THAAD. The F-35 program continues to be a major revenue and sustainment source. The company’s valuation is attractive, trading at a discount to peers with a forward P/E of 17.44x and EV/EBITDA of 12.37x, despite robust growth prospects. This positions Lockheed Martin well for long-term revenue visibility and expansion.
