Greenskeeper Asset Management stated the following regarding Lockheed Martin Corporation (NYSE:LMT) in its Q2 2026 investor letter:

"Lockheed Martin Corporation (NYSE:LMT) was our second-largest detractor during the quarter, declining 15.7%. The sell-off was primarily driven by execution challenges within its Aeronautics division, which delayed aircraft deliveries and required additional rework on certain fixed-price contracts. These issues weighed on near-term profitability and raised concerns about the company's ability to meet its production targets.

We view these operational headwinds as temporary. Global demand for defence capabilities remains exceptionally strong as governments replenish depleted inventories and navigate an increasingly complex geopolitical backdrop. Anchored by leading positions across critical defence programs, Lockheed Martin remains well-positioned to drive long-term cash generation as execution normalizes and order backlogs convert into deliveries."
