Lockheed Martin

Lockheed Martin is the world's largest defense contractor and has dominated the Western market for high-end fighter aircraft since it won the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter program in 2001. Lockheed's largest segment is aeronautics, which derives upward of two-thirds of its revenue from the F-35. Lockheed's remaining segments are rotary and mission systems, mainly encompassing the Sikorsky helicopter business; missiles and fire control, which creates missiles and missile defense systems; and space systems, which produces satellites and receives equity income from the United Launch Alliance joint venture.

Citigroup Maintains Buy on Lockheed Martin, Lowers Price Target to $600

Vivek Ramaswamy, co-leader of President-elect Donald Trump&#8216;s Department of Government Efficiency, is expected to step down from his position, potentially complicating the administration&#8217;s ambitious federal spending reduction goals. 
What Happened: Ramaswamy, 39, plans to pursue a campaign for Ohio governor by month&#8217;s end, <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/vivek-ramaswamy-expected-to-depart-doge/">reported</a> CBS News citing multiple sources. The departure comes as Ramaswamy&#8217;s DOGE co-leader, Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) CEO Elon Musk, recently scaled back expectations for budget cuts from $2 trillion to a more <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/25/01/43046108/musks-doge-ambitions-shrink-why-2-trillion-budget-cuts-may-be-out-of-reach">modest $1 trillion target</a>.
During a recent interview on X, Musk characterized even this reduced goal as an &#8220;epic outcome&#8221; if achieved.
The leadership shake-up has caught Wall Street&#8217;s attention, though analysts remain optimistic about its impact on the defense sector. 
Truist Securities analyst Michael Ciarmoli initiated coverage of Lockheed Martin Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LMT#NYSE">LMT</a>) and Northrop Grumman Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NOC#NYSE">NOC</a>) with Buy ratings, describing DOGE-related concerns as &#8220;overblown&#8221; given the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/initiation/25/01/43010706/doge-fears-for-defense-contractors-lockheed-martin-northrop-grumman-overblown-analyst-says">advisory nature of the department</a>.
Ramaswamy did not immediately respond to&nbsp;<a href="http://pro.benzinga.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benzinga</a>'s request for comment.

Why It Matters: According to the report, internal dynamics are growing friction between Ramaswamy and incoming DOGE staff, with associates of Musk privately expressing frustration over Ramaswamy&#8217;s limited participation in key initiatives.
The department, while not a full federal agency, is tasked with advising on bureaucracy reduction and federal spending cuts, with a mandate to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/24/11/41927289/trump-appoints-elon-musk-and-vivek-ramaswamy-to-lead-doge-targeting-bureaucracy-and-65-trillion-federal-spending-we-will-not-go-gently">complete its work by July 2026</a>.
Market observers note that previous attempts at significant federal spending reductions have faced congressional resistance, with even modest proposals struggling to gain traction.

Benzinga Bulls And Bears: Tesla, Apple, Meta And Dogecoin Influencers See Pattern For Post-2025 Inauguration Rally

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has postponed a cabinet meeting that was set to vote on a ceasefire agreement with Hamas. The meeting has been delayed due to what Netanyahu has described as &#8220;last minute concession&#8221; <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/43011383/israel-gaza-ceasefire-hostage-exchange">demands from Hamas.</a>
What Happened: The vote, which was expected to take place on Thursday, has been put on hold by Netanyahu, who stated the meeting will only proceed once Hamas withdraws its demands. This development has cast doubt on the possibility of a ceasefire after 15 months of conflict, NPR <a href="https://www.npr.org/2025/01/16/nx-s1-5262339/israel-hamas-netanyahu-ceasefire">reports</a>.
Netanyahu stated the meeting will only proceed once mediators confirm all elements of the agreement have been fully accepted. He did not specify which parts of the deal Hamas had allegedly violated.
Senior Hamas official Sami Abu Zuhri has rejected Netanyahu&#8217;s claims, asserting that there is no foundation to the allegations that Hamas is backing out of parts of the ceasefire agreement.

Netanyahu has been under pressure from right-wing members of his coalition government who oppose any form of deal with Hamas, according to NPR. These members have warned they may exit the coalition if a deal is finalized, a decision that could potentially topple Netanyahu&#8217;s government.
Why It Matters: The conflict between Isreal and Hamas has a long history, with the ceasefire agreement being a significant development. The verbal agreement for a ceasefire in Gaza was reached after months of negotiations and has the potential to bring an end to the ongoing war in the Middle East.
This development has had a significant impact on the stock market, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/25/01/43013312/defense-stocks-fall-on-gaza-ceasefire-while-broader-market-rallies-whats-going-on">with defense stocks</a>, including Lockheed Martin (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LMT#NYSE">LMT</a>), Northrop Grumman (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NOC#NYSE">NOC</a>) and Raytheon Technologies (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RTX#NYSE">RTX</a>), experienced declines on Wednesday as news of a Gaza ceasefire gained traction.

Palantir Technologies Inc.&#8217;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NYSE">PLTR</a>) Chief Technology Officer Shyam Sankar praised Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) and SpaceX&#8217;s manufacturing approaches as models for revitalizing American industrial capabilities during an appearance on The Ben Shapiro Show on Wednesday.
What Happened: &#8220;It&#8217;s not true that we&#8217;re bad at making things in this country. The ability to do that in a modern way is asymmetrically distributed,&#8221; Sankar <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zakFRqSJIpM">said</a>. &#8220;SpaceX makes so much of what they do vertically integrated internally. Tesla is a software-defined production line.&#8221;
His comments come as Palantir&#8217;s stock has surged over 312% in the past year, with the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/01/42938119/lockheed-martin-donates-1m-to-trumps-inaugural-committee-as-speculation-grows-over-elon-musk-led-doge-crackdown-on-traditional-defense-contracts">company&#8217;s market capitalization</a> now exceeding traditional defense contractor Lockheed Martin Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LMT#NYSE">LMT</a>). The data analytics firm has been expanding beyond its government roots, with commercial revenue now representing 50% of its business.
Sankar criticized current manufacturing approaches, particularly in supply chain management. &#8220;When I interact with these companies, their understanding of their supply chain is very shallow. They treat it as a black box,&#8221; he said, contrasting this with Elon Musk&#8216;s comprehensive approach at his companies.

Why It Matters: The CTO&#8217;s remarks align with recent developments in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/12/42356725/alex-karp-supports-doge-as-trump-taps-palantirs-shyam-shankar-for-border-security-role-cannot-have-a-better-person-than-musk">Palantir&#8217;s strategic direction</a>. CEO Alex Karp has emphasized the company&#8217;s evolution into an AI powerhouse, particularly in military applications. The company recently partnered with Amazon Web Services to provide Anthropic&#8217;s Claude AI models to U.S. intelligence agencies.
Addressing defense capabilities, Sankar highlighted concerning gaps in U.S. military readiness. &#8220;If you look at the amount of weapons we have on hand to fight China, war games put it at 8 days. It should be closer to 800 days,&#8221; he warned, citing the Ukraine conflict as evidence of production shortfalls.
Wedbush Securities analyst Dan Ives projects 2025 as a breakthrough year for Palantir&#8217;s AI platform, as the company continues to integrate advanced manufacturing and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/12/42696805/palantir-touted-as-next-oracle-by-dan-ives-here-is-why-the-wedbush-analyst-called-the-company-a-table-pounder">artificial intelligence capabilities</a> across both government and commercial sectors.

According to the WEF report, 23% of respondents named state-based armed conflict as the most pressing risk for 2025. Persistent geopolitical tensions, such as the Russia-Ukraine conflict and the unrest in the Middle East, have shaken global trust.
In such a dire situation, defense ETFs and global security ETFs can save the day for investors. iShares U.S. Aerospace &amp; Defense ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ITA#BATS">ITA</a>) provides exposure to U.S.-based companies in the defense sector, which could benefit from increased government spending on military capabilities. Moreover, an expense ratio of 0.4% makes it a cost-effective option. Also, a beta of 0.97% means it is at slightly lower risk than the broader market during volatility.
In addition, the SPDR S&amp;P Kensho Future Security ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FITE#NYSE">FITE</a>) focuses on innovative companies addressing global security challenges, including cybersecurity and physical defense. A glimpse of its top holdings include Viasat (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VSAT#NASDAQ">VSAT</a>), Lockheed Martin (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LMT#NYSE">LMT</a>) and F5 Networks (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FFIV#NASDAQ">FFIV</a>). The fund boasts an expense ratio of 0.45%.
Extreme Weather
The climate crisis is intensifying the frequency and severity of weather events such as floods, heatwaves, and tornadoes. With environmental risks dominating the 10-year horizon, resilient investment strategies are the need of the hour.
Clean Energy ETFs are well-positioned to capitalize on this global challenge. Invesco Solar ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TAN#NYSE">TAN</a>) has holdings in solar energy companies like Enphase Energy Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ENPH#NYSE">ENPH</a>) and First Solar Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FSLR#NYSE">FSLR</a>), which are poised to benefit from global decarbonization efforts.

Disinformation and Misinformation
For the second consecutive year, the scourge of misinformation and disinformation has been flagged by WEF as a top risk, leading to societal distrust, markets disruption, and heightened polarization. 
Many tech companies are united in their efforts to curb the spread of misinformation as well as disinformation (there is a very thin line of intentions separating the two terms). However, among those most equipped to fight this menace are cybersecurity companies. Naturally, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/42829188/hack-attack-cybercrime-surge-fuels-demand-for-cybersecurity-etfs">ETFs focusing on the cybersecurity sector</a> stand to gain.
First Trust Nasdaq Cybersecurity ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CIBR#NASDAQ">CIBR</a>) focuses on companies addressing cyber threats, which often fan the fire of misinformation. Stocks of companies like Broadcom, Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AVGO#NASDAQ">AVGO</a>), Crowdstrike Holdings (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CRWD#NASDAQ">CRWD</a>) and Cisco Systems (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CSCO#NASDAQ">CSCO</a>), prominent players in the cybersecurity space, are part of this fund&#8217;s holdings. 
Media ETFs like the Communication Services Select Sector SPDR Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLC#NYSE">XLC</a>) can also benefit from media firms, which are increasingly becoming content-conscious. Media firms may benefit from investing in trusted content creation and digital information technologies.
Why ETFs Are Ideal In Turbulent Times
Insights from over 900 global risk experts, policymakers and industry leaders in September and October last year were obtained to compile WEF&#8217;s survey report. Some of the other short-term risks that the WEF's report highlights include societal polarization, cyber espionage, pollution, and inequality.
In these turbulent times, investors seek to hedge their investments instead of holding back from the market. ETFs come into the picture as flexible, cost-efficient and concern-specific instruments that allow investors to diversify their portfolios across sectors and geographies during global uncertainties.
As Carolina Klint of Marsh McLennan Europe told CNBC, "I think we're navigating an era now marked by increasing economic tensions&#8230;And I think we have to recognize the fragmentation is not a theoretical concern. It is something that we need to confront today. So, it has resulted in a more complex and uncertain trading environment." 
Building a resilient portfolio with ETFs aligned to global challenges can help investors power through 2025.

Davos 2025: ETFs To Tackle Geopolitical, Climate, Cyber Risks

Defense stocks are moving slightly lower Wednesday after Israel and Hamas verbally agreed on a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/43011383/israel-gaza-ceasefire-hostage-exchange">ceasefire in Gaza</a>.
What Happened: Hamas accepted a draft agreement on Wednesday for a ceasefire in Gaza that includes the release of several hostages, according to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/43011383/israel-gaza-ceasefire-hostage-exchange">multiple reports</a>. 
The agreement follows months of negotiations and paves the way for a potential end to the ongoing war in the Middle East that began about 15 months ago. The verbal agreement also comes just days before President-elect Donald Trump&#8217;s inauguration. 
&#8220;We have a deal for the hostages in the Middle East. They will be released shortly. Thank you!&#8221; Trump&nbsp;said in a post on Truth Social.
The deal reportedly includes a six-week ceasefire and the release of 33 Israeli hostages in exchange for the release of Palestinian prisoners. Israel still needs to ratify the deal, but a vote is expected by Thursday.

Defense stocks including Lockheed Martin Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LMT#NYSE">LMT</a>), Northrop Grumman Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NOC#NYSE">NOC</a>) and RTX Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RTX#NYSE">RTX</a>) moved lower as the ceasefire reports surfaced despite a strong session from broader indices. The Global X Funds Global X Defense Tech ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SHLD#NYSE">SHLD</a>) and the SPDR S&amp;P Aerospace &amp; Defense ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XAR#NYSE">XAR</a>) also pulled back from highs on the news. 
At the time of writing, Lockheed Martin shares were down about 0.7%, while Northrop Grumman and RTX shares were down about 0.8%. It&#8217;s worth noting that the SPDR S&amp;P 500 (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) was up 1.77% at last check.
Defense stocks have benefitted from the ongoing war in the Middle East with the Global X Funds Defense ETF having gained more than 35% over the past year, according to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro</a>. Defense stocks tend to rally in periods of elevated conflict given their heavy reliance on government contracts. 
Energy stocks including BP P.L.C (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BP#NYSE">BP</a>), Chevron Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CVX#NYSE">CVX</a>) and ConocoPhillips (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COP#NYSE">COP</a>) also pulled back slightly on the ceasefire news, but bounced back pretty quickly. 
The United States Oil Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/USO#NYSE">USO</a>) hit new 52-week highs on Wednesday on continued momentum from last week after the U.S. announced its most extensive sanctions on Russian oil exports to date.

Defense Stocks Fall On Gaza Ceasefire While Broader Market Rallies: What's Going On?

Wall Street is anticipating the inauguration of President-elect Donald Trump and contemplating what potential impacts the Department of Government Efficiency, led by Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy, may<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/01/42938119/lockheed-martin-donates-1m-to-trumps-inaugural-committee-as-speculation-grows-over-elon-musk-led-doge-crackdown-on-traditional-defense-contracts"> have on defense contractors.&nbsp;</a>
Truist Securities analyst Michael Ciarmoli is optimistic on the defense sector and initiated coverage on Lockheed Martin Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LMT#NYSE">LMT</a>) and Northrop Grumman Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NOC#NYSE">NOC</a>) with Buy ratings and price targets of $579 and $544, respectively.

DOGE-related fears are "overblown," Ciarmoli said, adding that the recent pullbacks in both defense contractors' stocks have led to attractive entry points at current levels.
Ciarmoli highlighted DOGE's role as only an advisory board and noted that lawmakers and the appropriations committee still "call the shots" on budget and spending decisions. He also said Truist sees U.S. and NATO defense budgets increasing in 2026.&nbsp;
The Truist analyst sees Northrup Grumman's anchor nuclear triad B-21 Raider and Sentinel GBSD programs providing stability and growth. Ciarmoli also said U.S. and NATO defense spending will continue to grow and demand for missiles and munitions will be robust.
LMT, NOC Price Action: According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/?gspk=YWRhbWVja2VydDUzMzY&amp;gsxid=zBMR4PKmcgBw">Benzinga Pro</a>, Lockheed Martin shares are down 2.2% over the past month and Northrup Grumman shares are down 2.3% over the same period.

Truist Securities Initiates Coverage On Lockheed Martin with Buy Rating, Announces Price Target of $579

Donald Trump's economic planning is often referred to as "Maganomics," a phrase based on his campaign slogan, "Make <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/donald-trump">America Great Again.&#8221; </a> Trump&#8217;s policy ideas have led to divided opinions between economists and investors, according to a <a href="https://www.ft.com/content/cbdcf6f1-16d5-4ce9-aa94-5d3098cc19b8">report </a>by the Financial Times. The former worry about the potential shortcomings of protectionist policies such as tariffs and immigration curbs, while investors are focusing on the brighter side, especially for U.S. manufacturing. And here's where things get interesting— certain ETFs might gain from these dynamics.
See Also: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/42948649/goldman-sachs-warns-of-90-oil-risk-trump-may-not-ease-sanctions-once-he-takes-office">Oil Could Hit $90, Goldman Sachs Says: &#8216;Trump May Not Ease Sanctions&#8217; On Russia</a>
Trump's targeted tariffs and pro-business standpoint is designed to increase domestic manufacturing and attract investment into sectors like industrials and materials. The idea is simple: by imposing tariffs on imports, U.S.-made goods become more competitive and encourage domestic manufacturers to up their production. For investors, this shift can push economic growth, despite warnings from experts.
This optimism among investors makes ETFs heavy on manufacturing and industrial growth particularly appealing. Funds like the iShares U.S. Industrials ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IYJ#BATS">IYJ</a>) or the SPDR S&amp;P Metals and Mining ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XME#NYSE">XME</a>) could gain directly from increased investment in American factories and infrastructure. These ETFs provide exposure to companies that are likely to thrive under policies encouraging domestic production.
The iShares U.S. Industrials ETF has an expense ratio of 0.39% and includes some big names in the industrials sector, like GE Aerospace (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GE#NYSE">GE</a>), Honeywell International (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HON#NYSE">HON</a>) and Lockheed Martin (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LMT#NYSE">LMT</a>) in its holdings.
Meanwhile, the SPDR S&amp;P Metals and Mining ETF, with an even lower expense ratio of 0.35%, is exposed to the steel industry by 51.04%, coal and consumable fuels by 13.31%, aluminum by 7.18% and diversified metal and mining by 5.58%, among others.
An analyst at T. Rowe Price, cited by the Financial Times, suggests that Trump&#8217;s pro-business policies could encourage companies previously hesitant under past administrations to boost their spending.
This could also help funds like the Vanguard Industrials ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VIS#NYSE">VIS</a>), which invests in a broader range of industrial sectors.
Ultimately, the appeal of "Maganomics" for investors lies in how likely it is to create short-term winners, especially in manufacturing and industrials. ETFs that play with these themes could allow investors to ride the wave of optimism while diversifying risk.

How Trump's 'Maganomics' Could Power Industrials-Focused ETFs

President-elect Donald Trump's cabinet picks are set to begin the confirmation process with several appearing before Senate committees this week. Former Fox News host Pete Hegseth and former Georgia Congressman Doug Collins <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/01/42936887/trumps-treasury-pick-scott-bessent-reveals-up-to-500000-bitcoin-stake-via-blackrocks-etf">are up first on Tuesday.</a>
Hegseth: Hegseth, an Iraq and Afghanistan War veteran <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/11/41952962/trumps-surprise-defense-secretary-pick-pete-hegseth-jolts-wall-street">who has not</a> held a government position, is Trump's pick for Defense Secretary and will face questions from the Senate Armed Forces Committee on Tuesday. 
Critics have blasted Hegseth for his lack of leadership experience and past allegations of financial mismanagement and sexual misconduct. However, Senate Majority Leader John Thune has told Trump that he thinks Hegseth will have the votes to be confirmed as Secretary of Defense, according to three sources <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/pete-hegseth-votes-confirmation-defense-secretary-john-thune-donald-trump/">as reported </a>by CBS News.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Collins: Collins, who served in Congress from 2013 to 2021 and is an Air Force Reserve chaplain and Iraq War veteran, is set to appear before the Senate Veterans' Affairs Committee on Tuesday for consideration as the next Veterans Affairs Secretary.&nbsp;
Collins is widely anticipated to receive Senate confirmation due to the combination of his military and political experience.&nbsp;
Why It Matters: Both of Trump's picks appearing before the Senate on Tuesday would have implications for the military if confirmed and therefore, aerospace and defense stocks should be watched.&nbsp;The iShares US Aerospace &amp; Defense ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ITA#NYSE">ITA</a>) rose following Trump's election win but has since retreated from all-time highs reached in November.&nbsp;
Defense contractors, including General Dynamics Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GD#NYSE">GD</a>), Lockheed Martin Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LMT#NYSE">LMT</a>) and RTX Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RTX#NYSE">RTX</a>), also spiked around the election and could move again as the Senate confirmation process begins.

Trump Cabinet Confirmation Hearings Begin Tuesday: Pete Hegseth, Doug Collins Up First

Defense giant Lockheed Martin Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LMT#NYSE">LMT</a>) has donated $1 million to President-elect Donald Trump&#8217;s inaugural committee, maintaining its tradition of inaugural support amid rising competition from technology companies in the defense sector.
What Happened: The donation, made Dec. 2, mirrors Lockheed&#8217;s previous contributions to both Trump&#8217;s 2017 and President Joe Biden&#8216;s 2020 inaugurations, CBS News <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/lockheed-martin-donates-1-million-inaugural-committee/">reported</a> on Friday. The aerospace firm, valued at over $110 billion, reported $67.6 billion in net sales for 2023 under CEO Jim Taiclet.
This contribution comes as Palantir Technologies Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NYSE">PLTR</a>) and Anduril Industries <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/12/42640010/palantir-and-anduril-reportedly-lead-consortium-partner-with-spacex-and-openai-to-compete-against-traditional-defense-contractors-in-850-billion-us-military-market">reportedly lead a new tech consortium</a>, challenging traditional defense contractors&#8217; grip on the $850 billion U.S. military market. The group, which may include SpaceX and OpenAI, plans to announce formal agreements in January.
Palantir&#8217;s market capitalization has surged to $155 billion, surpassing Lockheed Martin&#8217;s valuation. The data analytics company&#8217;s shares soared more than 50% following Trump&#8217;s election victory, despite a recent 11.78% year-to-date decline.

Why It Matters: Adding pressure on traditional contractors, Trump&#8217;s appointed Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) co-lead, Elon Musk, recently criticized Lockheed&#8217;s F-35 fighter program, advocating for drone warfare over the $1.8 trillion <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/11/42157649/trumps-doge-co-lead-elon-musk-slams-lockheed-martins-f-35-fighter-jets-advocates-drone-warfare-as-pentagon-defends-1-8-trillion-program">manned aircraft initiative</a>.

Lockheed Martin Donates $1M To Trump's Inaugural Committee As Speculation Grows Over Elon Musk-Led DOGE Crackdown On Traditional Defense Contracts

Benzinga examined the prospects for <a href="http://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas">many investors&#8217; favorite stocks</a> over the last week — here&#8217;s a look at some of our top stories.
The major indices experienced consecutive weekly losses, with the S&amp;P 500 falling 1.9%, the Nasdaq Composite dropping 2.3%, and the Dow sliding nearly 1.9% this week.

The aerospace and defense sector is set to soar due to rising global defense budgets, strong demand for aerospace products, and increased private sector focus on space innovation. Therefore, investors may want to consider top aerospace and defense stocks like TransDigm Group (TDG), RTX (RTX), and Lockheed Martin (LMT) to capitalize on this trend. Keep reading... The aerospace and defense sector is set to soar, fueled by robust demand for commercial and defense aerospace products. Likewise, rising defense budgets in Europe, Australia, South Korea, and the U.S. are boosting demand for advanced defense capabilities, further strengthening this momentum.
With these strong tailwinds, investing in aerospace and defense stocks such as TransDigm Group Incorporated (<a href="https://stocknews.com/stock/TDG/">TDG</a>), RTX Corporation (<a href="https://stocknews.com/stock/RTX/">RTX</a>), and Lockheed Martin Corporation (<a href="https://stocknews.com/stock/LMT/">LMT</a>) presents a strategic opportunity.
This year, strategic joint ventures are favored for innovation and risk mitigation, with fewer regulatory hurdles than acquisitions. The aerospace sector is seeing a surge in M&amp;A activity, driven by demand for satellite communications, defense capabilities, and LEO infrastructure. Meanwhile, intensifying competition is prompting smaller firms to merge while larger players focus on scaling and securing supply chain capabilities.
Furthermore, the U.S. Air Force's FY 2025 budget request stands at <a href="https://www.saffm.hq.af.mil/FM-Resources/Budget/Air-Force-Presidents-Budget-FY25/#:~:text=The%20U.S.%20Air%20Force%20FY,the%20FY%202024%20budget%20request.">$188.10 billion</a>, reflecting a $3 billion increase from FY 2024. Meanwhile, the growing influence of the private sector on policy is expected to prioritize space as a strategic asset, driving further growth and innovation. As a result, the U.S. aerospace and defense market is projected to reach <a href="https://www.mordorintelligence.com/industry-reports/us-aerospace-and-defense-market">$656.93 billion by 2029</a>, with a CAGR of 5.76%.
