What are Wall Street analysts saying about Lockheed Martin stock?
Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about Lockheed Martin stock:
- 1. According to Zacks Investment Research, "Lockheed Martin, being the largest defense contractor in the world, experiences strong demand for high-end military equipments in both domestic as well as overseas markets. The Sikorsky takeover has proved to be beneficial for the company, in terms of substantial contract wins for production of newly designed choppers as well as maintenance of the existing one. In fact, strong order growth has been a primary growth driver for this company. Lockheed Martin continues to be a strong cash generator, helping it to take important cash deployment decisions. However, the F-35 program, despite being a prime defense project for the U.S. government, has been facing criticism for being overtly expensive, for past few years. The company also faces intense competition for its broad portfolio of products and services in both domestic and international markets. Due to such reasons, the company may have underperformed its broader industry in the last one year." (3/13/2018)
- 2. Cowen Inc analysts commented, "While order timing is an issue and Rev Rec" will impact 2017-18 GAAP EPS." (9/14/2017)
