Why Lockheed Martin Stock Popped Today
UBS upgraded Lockheed Martin to buy, citing strong growth prospects from its F-35 fighter jet franchise and missile sales. With a book-to-bill ratio of 3.2x, UBS forecasts 9% annual sales growth and double-digit earnings growth over the next 2-3 years. At 19.2x earnings and less than 14x free cash flow with a 2.6% dividend yield, analysts see Lockheed as an attractive defense stock with earnings growth expected to exceed 19% over five years.
Lockheed Martin shares are trading higher after reports suggesting that the EU will purchase more Patriot missiles to transfer to Ukraine for that country to protect its airspace from an expected increase in Russian attacks during the winter months.
