What recent numbers show

Midyear analyst and consensus view
On Wall Street, Lockheed Martin is still widely covered, with around 20 analysts regularly updating their models, based on data compiled on major financial portals. MarketWatch consensus overview
The current full-year 2024 consensus points to low single-digit sales growth and mid-single-digit EPS growth compared with 2023, reflecting both solid defense demand and constraints from labor and supply chains that limit how quickly output can expand.
Operations and program execution
Operationally, Lockheed Martin is prioritizing its large fighter, missile defense and space programs, where US and allied demand remains robust in light of geopolitical tensions in Europe and the Indo-Pacific region.
Management has highlighted the importance of supply-chain stability and workforce retention to sustain deliveries on flagship systems such as the F-35 fighter jet and PAC-3 missile interceptors, which together represent a material share of the backlog.
How the company makes money
Lockheed Martin generates most of its revenue by designing and manufacturing advanced defense systems, notably the F-35 Lightning II fighter aircraft, missile defense solutions, and space systems for US and allied governments, typically under long-term contracts with multi-year funding profiles.
