Possible LMT Entrance Point
The entire defense industry has been underbought in the post-Covid market, particularly Lockheed Martin.
Although LMT's predominant customer is the United States, Lockheed maintains relationships with over 40 countries around the globe. The F-35 program is guaranteed to provide the company with a significant stream of revenue for the coming decades, and the US government is already conceptualizing a 6th generation fighter to supersede/compliment the F-35 program - a project which LMT is sure to take part of. LMT also maintains a diversity of other products that are regularly sold and require maintenance.
Military expenditures have only risen globally, and the United States still maintains a $707 billion military budget for 2021 amid a global economic recession. Biden has made it clear that he does not plan on drastically reducing the military budget, and even if he does, he will face pushback and it will likely be increased in the next administration. Ratios seem to be less relevant in the current market, but LMT is currently operating at a PE ratio of 14.31 - below the SPY. As tech gets more expensive, investors will likely rotate into more reasonably priced industries such as defense.
LMT seems to be holding at the 200 EMA on the 5-year window - a pretty good entrance point. If you believe that it will break through support, the trend line might be a potential area for a reversal.
Let me know if I missed anything.
