Record backlog fuels post-earnings breakout
Lockheed Martin reported Q2 2026 EPS of $7.29, in-line with consensus estimate of $7.22 ($0.07 beat, +0.97% surprise). The stock rallied 2.46% on the day to $582.60, extending a post-earnings breakout driven by record backlog commentary. Management highlighted a strong future revenue pipeline, offsetting near-term EPS weakness. Valuation remains attractive (P/E 21.5 vs sector 39), supporting a constructive stance despite mixed momentum signals.
