Greenskeeper Asset Management discussed Lockheed Martin Corporation (NYSE:LMT) in its Q1 2026 investor letter:
“Rounding out our top performers in the first quarter were our defense holdings: Lockheed Martin Corporation (NYSE:LMT) +25% and General Dynamics (GD) +2%. Ongoing global conflicts and the fraying of the NATO alliance continue to underscore the critical need for sustained investment in national defense. Beyond their defense segments, both companies reached a historic milestone this quarter with the successful Artemis II mission—the first crewed flight around the moon since 1972. Lockheed Martin was responsible for the Orion crew module and the spacecraft’s complex flight software, while General Dynamics provided the essential emergency radios and transponders that linked the astronauts to mission control. With the crew now safely home, we can officially declare: ‘mission accomplished.’”
