Lockheed Martin (LMT) Stock Price Surpasses $600 for the First Time

As indicated by the Lockheed Martin (LMT) stock chart, after breaking through the psychological barrier of $600, the price has reached an all-time high. Remarkably, it took less than 2.5 months for the stock to climb from $500 to $600.

Demand for Lockheed Martin (LMT) shares is being driven by consistent news of government contracts awarded to the company amid rising geopolitical tensions. These contracts include deals for F-35 Joint Strike Fighter aircraft, Trident II D5 missile production, and supplies for the U.S. missile defence system.

The surge in orders has enabled Lockheed Martin’s board of directors (NYSE: LMT) to announce an increase in dividends for Q4 2024 by $0.15, bringing them to $3.30 per share. It is worth noting that the company has raised its dividends for 22 consecutive years.
