Analysts just upgraded Lockheed Martin Corporation (LMT) from Hold to Buy. The stock is trading around $520. And it is sitting 24% below its 52-week high of $692. In the past two weeks alone, Lockheed locked in nearly $10 billion in new defense awards. A $4.8 billion PAC-3 missile contract. An $879 million F-35 delivery deal. A $1.5 billion sale of MH-60R Seahawk helicopters to New Zealand. An $842 million air-to-surface missile deal with Denmark. On June 1, Lockheed opened a new Missile Assembly Building in Alabama for the Next Generation Interceptor program. That is not a press release. That is capital deployed to meet a backlog that is not going anywhere. The average analyst price target is $621, implying roughly 19% upside from current levels. The bear case is real: Q1 missed estimates and F-16 and C-130 program margins are still under pressure. But the contract backlog tells a different story than the recent price action.
