Long
NYSE:LMT   Lockheed Martin Corporation
Lockheed Martin is one of the largest companies in the aerospace, defense, security, and technologies industry. Produces aircrafts, such as F-35 and F-22. The main customer is the US government, which provided about 82% of the revenue.

Newsflow:

The shares of the defense corporation Lockheed Martin Corporation are continuing their upward trend. In December 2017, the world's largest supplier of military technology received a $944 million contract for production and delivery of Lockheed Martin Patriot Advanced Capability-3 (PAC-3) and PAC-3 Missile Segment Enhancement (PAC-3 MSE) interceptors.

Additionally, in the same month Lockheed Martin Aeronautics Co, a unit of Lockheed Martin Co, received a $ 7 billion defense order for F-22, the Pentagon said in a statement on Thursday.

The growth may accelerate due to the increased sales on the international market, where Lockheed offers the most demanded defense products.
