Lockheed Martin (ISIN US5398301094) was trading at USD 506.13 on the NYSE on October 5, 2026, up 0.14 percent, giving the company a market capitalization of USD 116.8 billion. The stock's key near-term checkpoint is the analyst view, while third-quarter results are scheduled for October 22.

Hold consensus sets the tone

MarketBeat reports a Hold consensus from 19 analysts as of October 5, 2026. The group includes 1 Sell, 10 Hold, 7 Buy and 1 Strong Buy rating, with an average twelve-month price target of USD 637.56, a high of USD 735.00 and a low of USD 517.00.

The average target is USD 131.43 above the October 5 trading price. That spread puts the consensus above the current quotation, but the Hold label shows that the rating mix is less positive than the target range alone suggests.

Q2 delivered double-digit growth

Lockheed Martin reported USD 20.06 billion in second-quarter 2026 revenue, up 10.5 percent from the same period a year earlier, according to Fortune. Diluted EPS reached USD 7.94, compared with a consensus estimate of USD 7.22, a beat of USD 0.72.

The same Q2 update lifted the 2026 sales outlook to USD 79.75 billion-USD 81.75 billion and EPS guidance to USD 29.95-USD 30.65, while free cash flow guidance stood at USD 7.0 billion-USD 7.2 billion, Fortune reports.

Q3 results arrive October 22

Lockheed Martin will publish third-quarter 2026 results before the market opens on October 22, 2026, followed by an 8:30 a.m. ET conference call, according to StockTitan. The release will test whether the Q2 revenue growth and raised full-year guidance are carrying into the next reporting period.
