Lockheed Martin stock (ISIN US5398301094) closed at USD 524.19 on September 11, 2026, after a 1.12 percent daily decline. The company reported Q2 2026 revenue of USD 20.06 billion and EPS of USD 7.94, while FY 2026 guidance stands at EPS of 29.95 to 30.65.

Q2 figures set the tone

According to MarketBeat on September 14, 2026, Lockheed Martin reported USD 7.94 in quarterly EPS, which beat the consensus estimate of USD 7.22 by USD 0.72. The same report put quarterly revenue at USD 20.06 billion, versus USD 19.34 billion expected, and said revenue rose 10.5 percent from the prior year.

The guidance line matters too. MarketBeat said Lockheed Martin set FY 2026 EPS guidance at 29.95 to 30.65, while analysts on average now model 30.39 EPS for the current fiscal year.

Order flow stays relevant

According to Reuters on September 14, 2026, the defense and space sector is drawing fresh investor attention as contract wins and capital market activity pick up. For Lockheed Martin, that backdrop keeps order execution and program delivery in view for investors.

A separate report from Defence Industry EU on September 14, 2026 said Lockheed Martin secured an USD 826 million U.S. missile contract for JASSM-ER and LRASM, with deliveries through 2030. That kind of backlog support is a useful counterweight to the earnings debate.

Stock level and valuation

Lockheed Martin stock traded at USD 524.19 on September 11, 2026, with after-hours trading at USD 524.37 in the Yahoo Finance snapshot. The same snapshot listed analyst price targets at USD 503.00 on the low end and USD 637.84 on average, with USD 756.00 as the high target.
