Lockheed Martin Stock Rides A 5-Day Winning Streak To A 16% Gain
Lockheed Martin (LMT) stock has risen for 5 consecutive trading days, gaining 15.9% over that stretch. That added about $20.0 billion to the company's market value, which now stands at about $146.4 billion. The stock closed at $635.20 on Monday, October 26, 4.9% below its 52-week high of $668.17 and 47.2% above its low of $431.38.
The Streak Next To The S&P 500
Returns for LMT and the S&P 500 over the streak and the periods around it, all ending Monday, October 26 and including dividends:
| Return Period | LMT | S&P 500 |
|---|---|---|
| 1 Day | 5.1% | 0.7% |
| 5 Days (Current Streak) | 15.9% | -0.2% |
| 1 Month (21 Trading Days) | 22.3% | -0.8% |
| 3 Months (63 Trading Days) | 9.9% | 3.6% |
| Year To Date | 33.7% | 13.2% |
| 1 Year (252 Trading Days) | 33.5% | 15.3% |
How The Streak Compares With The Market
The market explains little of this: the S&P 500 lost 0.2% over the same 5 sessions, including dividends, against Lockheed Martin's +15.9%. 12 other S&P 500 stocks are currently on winning streaks of 5 days or longer. Over the past three months the stock is up 9.9%, a window that includes the streak; over the other 58 sessions of that window it was down 5.1%.
Do The Fundamentals Support The Run?
On the fundamentals, revenue grew 7.9% over the last twelve months, against a median of 7.8% for S&P 500 Industrials stocks; its operating margin is 11.8%, versus a median of 17.6%; and the stock trades at 22.5 times trailing earnings against a median of 26.5. The read is mixed: revenue growth above the median and a multiple below the median on one side, margins below the median on the other.
If you are looking for strength with more behind it than a hot tape, our Guidance Momentum screen surfaces the names where management raised its own outlook.
Prefer the theme to the single name? An aerospace and defense ETF like ITA holds the whole group, not just this stock. It is still a concentrated bet on one theme, which is the gap the portfolio below is built to close.
Streaks End. Discipline Compounds
A run like this is genuinely useful information: something about this business has the market's full attention. But streaks are where discipline gets tested, because the urge to chase strength is strongest right before it pauses.
The Trefis High Quality (HQ) Portfolio channels that urge into a system: roughly 30 businesses selected for consistent cash generation, strong margins, and resilient balance sheets, sized and rebalanced with rules rather than excitement. It has a track record of outpacing a benchmark that combines the S&P 500, the S&P MidCap 400, and the Russell 2000. Enjoy the streak; own the process.
