Lockheed Martin Corporation (LMT) on Decifer

Why it ranks here

• It earns strong returns on the money it puts to work, around 17% and it turns most of its profit into real cash.
• Revenue is expected to grow about 6% a year, profits are expected to grow 7%, and growth is speeding up, not slowing down.
• It keeps a thin share of every sale as profit, and that has stayed steady over the years, a sign of real pricing power.
• It is riding an active market tailwind and has the balance sheet to fund its growth.
• It is not watering down its owners with new shares and it returns cash to shareholders.

The current read

The evidence on LMT lines up on the pressuring side: the intelligence feed flags this name as connected to what is moving markets now. One signal disagrees: the conviction engine sees moderate supporting evidence, worth watching but not the weight of the evidence.
