What the numbers say
CleaRank Financial AI's reading of LMT's valuation, growth and risks.
LMT trades at 19.63 times trailing earnings, which places its P/E 42.3% below the Industrials median of 34.0. The peer comparison on this page treats that gap as a discount to peers. On sales, the P/S of 1.60 is 60.0% below the sector median of 4.0. The company carries a market value of $127.4B, and its trailing earnings stand at $27.13 per share.
Revenue rose 10.50% in the latest year, leaving it 1.2 percentage points slower than the 11.7% sector median for Industrials. Margins show a net margin of 8.16% and an operating margin of 11.96%. Return on equity stands at 89.17%, above the sector median of 17.8%. Debt-to-equity is 2.34, and the trailing dividend yield is 2.50%, equal to $13.80 per share each year.
LMT's latest report, released on July 23, 2026, showed EPS of $7.94 compared with an estimate of $7.20, a beat of 10.28% over the estimate. Investors responded positively, and the stock climbed 2.46% in the next session.
Over its last 7 reports, LMT topped the estimate 4 times; even so, 2 of those 4 beats were followed by a lower share price the next session. The consensus EPS estimate stands at $30.45 for this fiscal year and $32.74 for next, growth of 41.7% for the current year.
LMT typically moves about 1.48% in a day. The price sits 20.22% below its 52-week high of $692.00. Insider sales over the last 18 months totalled $13.9M, and no insiders bought on the open market. Insider selling is often planned ahead or done to cover taxes on vesting shares, so it is a weaker signal than open-market buying.

- Keep an eye on the two closest levels: the 200-day SMA at $564.63 sits above the price, while the 50-day SMA at $543.16 sits below it.
- The 14-day RSI reads 64.7, in the bullish zone, with the MACD line negative; readings above 70 or below 30 mark stretched momentum.
- Following the July 23, 2026 report, the share price climbed 2.46% in the first session. LMT has beaten estimates in 4 of the last 7 reports.
LMT has a mixed trend. The stock sits above its 50-day average of $543.16 but below its 200-day average of $564.63. A close above the 200-day would flip both signals to up, while a close below the 50-day would flip both to down. For now, the price is wedged between the 50-day SMA ($543.16) beneath it and the 200-day SMA ($564.63) above it.
LMT's RSI is in the bullish band, a reading that backs the current direction without signalling an overstretched move.

Long-term scenarios
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 10-year Monte Carlo simulation projects that a $10,000 investment in LMT today could grow to about $20,408 by 2036 in the base case, with a 90th-percentile outcome near $55,151 and a 10th-percentile outcome around $7,552. The simulation models price only; at today's 2.50% yield, dividends would add to these figures. Projections are statistical simulations, not guarantees.
LMT Stock Price Prediction: 2030
The same simulation in share prices, year by year.
CleaRank's simulation projects a price near $734 for LMT by 2030 in the base case, from $552 today (1.3x over 4 years). The 10th-percentile path ends near $392. 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.
