Based on the analysis of recent news and technical indicators, the price of Lockheed Martin (L. T. M. T. (LMT)) is expected to drop in the next trading week. The loss of the U.S. Air Force fighter jet contract to Boeing, along with the technical indicators showing a downtrend, suggests a bearish outlook.
Price Prediction: 430.00
Recommendation: Sell
The stock is expected to drop to approximately 430.00 in the next trading week. The technical indicators, including a low RSI and a downtrend in the price, support this prediction. The loss of the significant contract further supports the negative outlook.
Thus, the recommendation is to sell Lockheed Martin (LMT) at this time.
The price of LMT is predicted to go up 6%, based on the high correlation periods with MGRB. The similarity of these two price pattern on the periods is 96.1%.

Lockheed Martin's prime contractor role on the F-35, the largest weapon program in history, should deliver stable revenue for decades through procurement and maintenance.
Geopolitical tensions have increased considerably due to the Russia-Ukraine war. Defense budgets are partially a function of geopolitical conflict, and we expect the US will increase defense spending to deter further conflict.
Defense prime contractors operate in an acyclical business, which could offer some protection if the US enters a recession.
