The FY27 defense budget nearly doubles spending on research and procurement, significantly increasing funding for Lockheed Martin's core programs like the F-35 fighter jet (up 62%), PAC-3/MSE missile interceptors (up 8x), and THAAD systems (up 9x). Lockheed Martin's current backlog stands at $186.4 billion, with $63 billion expected to be recognized within the next 12 months, and international sales growing to 31% of total.

These factors make Lockheed Martin an attractive long-term investment opportunity amid some risks including budget uncertainties and political controversies.
