    Listen to the news

    Lockheed Martin (LMT) just secured a US$694 million U.S. Air Force contract to produce the Air Launched Rapid Response Weapon, which ties fresh funding to its hypersonic munitions build out.

    Lockheed Martin’s share price has been choppy this year, with a 30 day share price return of 11.28%, but a 7 day decline of 11.83% and a 1 day fall of 1.58%. Total shareholder returns of 28.67% over one year and 90.14% over five years point to a stronger longer term payoff profile.

    After a sharp pullback following the latest political shock, and with Lockheed Martin still trading at a discount to both analyst targets and intrinsic estimates, are you looking at remaining upside or a story that has mostly played out already?

    Most Popular Narrative: 28% Undervalued

    On the bullish analyst Narrative on Simply Wall St, Lockheed Martin’s fair value sits at $791.73 against a last close of $567.08. This frames the latest pullback as a valuation gap rather than a completed story.

    Raised 2026 guidance for sales, segment operating profit and free cash flow, alongside reduced near term capex due to munitions build out efficiencies, creates room for Lockheed Martin to convert existing capacity investments into higher incremental margins and earnings if future orders continue to load into the current production footprint.

    See why 16 investors see Lockheed Martin as 28% undervalued.

    Result: Fair Value of $791.73 (UNDERVALUED)

    Still, if U.S. defense budgets tighten or space segment profitability stays under pressure, the bullish Lockheed Martin valuation story could quickly lose momentum.
