This week's news centers on the F-35 program. The U.S. Navy awarded Lockheed Martin an $871 million contract modification for F-35 Lightning II support equipment and sustainment, covering the Air Force, Marine Corps, Navy and international partners. Alongside this, Germany received its first F-35A fighter jet, a milestone in its Air Force modernization, and reports point to a potential U.S. government sale of up to 48 F-35 jets to Saudi Arabia. Separately, Lockheed Martin was upgraded to Buy, while comparative coverage weighed the stock against RTX on risk exposure to fixed-price contracts and against Howmet on valuation.
Looking ahead, the next earnings report is set for 20 October 2026, 30 days away and outside a typical 20-trading-day holding window; the prior quarter saw EPS of $7.94 against an estimate of $7.22 and a 13.3% reaction. No insider, Congress, or unusual options activity appears in the current windows. Seasonally, the next 20 trading days have averaged a 4% gain over 5 years, with gains in 4 of those years. Analyst consensus target sits at $640.22, implying 20% upside per that consensus.
