Lockheed Martin
The world's largest defense contractor — maker of the F-35, missiles and missile defense, and Orion spacecraft.
Coverage of Lockheed Martin is holding steady : 5 signals on the latest tracked day, up 67% from its three-week baseline of 3, across 3 domains (down from 8 a week ago). That makes it the #111 most-covered of the 337 concerns we track.
What’s changed
7 of the last 7 tracked days ran above the three-week baseline — a sustained move, not a one-day spike.
