With a market cap of $113 billion, Lockheed Martin Corporation (LMT)  is the world’s largest defense contractor, serving the U.S. government, international allies, and commercial clients with advanced technology systems and services. It specializes in research, design, development, integration, and sustainment of cutting-edge aerospace, defense, and intelligence technologies.

Companies valued at $10 billion or more are generally classified as “large-cap” stocks, and Lockheed Martin fits this criterion perfectly. Operating through four key segments - Aeronautics; Missiles and Fire Control (MFC); Rotary and Mission Systems (RMS); and Space, the company delivers a wide range of products including the F-35 fighter jet, missile defense systems like PAC-3, naval combat systems, satellites, and cyber solutions.
