Lockheed Martin reported a strong quarter with 7% underlying sales growth and a record $230 billion backlog, leading to raised guidance. The Missiles & Fire Control segment drives growth through new multi-year contracts, though margin expansion remains limited and production scaling risks persist. The analyst downgraded the stock from strong buy to buy due to moderated upside potential, setting a price target of $643.33 and expecting share repurchases to resume after the Ultra Maritime acquisition.
