What the numbers say
CleaRank Financial AI's reading of LMT's valuation, growth and risks.
LMT trades at 22.12 times trailing earnings, which places it 34.9% below the Industrials median of 34.0. The peer comparison on this page rates that P/E as a discount to peers. On sales, the P/S of 1.82 sits 54.5% below the sector median of 4.0. The company carries a market value of $143.9B and trailing earnings of $28.16 per share.
Profitability shows a net margin of 8.23% and an operating margin of 11.41%. It generates a return on equity of 80.19%, above the sector median of 17.8%. It also reports debt-to-equity of 2.04 and a trailing dividend yield of 2.22% ($13.80 a share a year).
LMT beat estimates in its latest report, released on October 22, 2026, where EPS came in at $7.97 versus an expected $7.52, a margin of 5.98% above the estimate. Investors responded positively, and the stock climbed 2.42% in the next session.
Over the 7 reports in our data, LMT topped the estimate 5 times; even so, 1 of those 5 beats was followed by a lower share price the next session. The consensus EPS estimate stands at $30.62 for this fiscal year and $33.13 for next, growth of 42.5% for the current year.
LMT's typical daily swing is about 2.10%, and its beta against the S&P 500 is 0.10. Insiders sold $13.9M of stock over the last 18 months and made no open-market purchases. Sales like these are often planned ahead or made to cover taxes on vesting shares, so they carry less weight than open-market buying.

- Keep an eye on the two closest levels: the 52-week high at $692.00 overhead and the 200-day SMA at $567.27 underneath.
- A 14-day RSI of 75.9 places the stock in overbought territory, and the MACD line is positive. Readings above 70 or below 30 point to stretched momentum.
- Following the October 22, 2026 report, the share price climbed 2.42% in the first session. Across the 7 reports in our data, LMT has beaten estimates in 5 of them.
LMT trades above its 50-day and 200-day moving averages ($541.25 and $567.27), which is what makes the trend up; losing the 200-day would be the first warning. The nearest level under the price is the 200-day SMA at $567.27.
The 52-week high at $692.00 is the next level overhead. With the RSI in overbought territory, a pause would not end the trend by itself, but a drop back out of the bullish zone would show momentum fading.

LMT stock price prediction 2030
Thousands of simulated paths from the price history. A range of outcomes, not a forecast.
Monte Carlo projection
Thousands of simulated paths for $10,000 in LMT, from its own past volatility. The shaded area holds 80% of them.
CleaRank's 4-year Monte Carlo simulation, based on 10 years of price history, projects that a $10,000 investment in LMT today could grow to about $13,418 by 2030 in the base case, with a 90th-percentile outcome near $25,205 and a 10th-percentile outcome around $7,143. The simulation models price only; at today's 2.22% yield, dividends would add to these figures. Projections are statistical simulations, not guarantees.
LMT Stock Price Prediction 2030: Simulated Scenarios
The same simulation in share prices, year by year.
CleaRank's simulation projects a price near $836 for LMT by 2030 in the base case, from $623 today (1.3x over 4 years). The 10th-percentile path ends near $445. These are outcomes of a Monte Carlo simulation run on LMT's historical return distribution, not price targets, and they assume no dividends are reinvested.
| Year | 10th percentile | Base case | 90th percentile | range base today |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2027 | $489 | $671 | $919 | |
| 2028 | $462 | $722 | $1,127 | |

| 2030 | $445 | $836 | $1,570 |
