Dear investors and followers ?♂️,
I recently bought $LMT (Lockheed Martin Corporation) in my portfolio and today we will look at my investment thesis.
?Lockheed Martin Corporation, a security and aerospace company, engages in the research, design, development, manufacture, integration, and sustainment of technology systems, products, and services worldwide. It operates through four segments: Aeronautics, Missiles and Fire Control, Rotary and Mission Systems, and Space.

?Lockheed therefore has a highly competitive advantage because it operates in an environment that is extremely demanding on initial investment and time required for research and development. Everyone can decide to sell sweetened lemonade from day to day. Selling missiles and the most advanced 5th generation fighter aircraft, on the other hand, already looks like a decent barrier to entry into the industry.
?Lockheed therefore operates in a strategic environment, which is again advantageous. Although a company may be dependent on the economic development of a given state, at the same time the state holds a protective hand over it. As we see in the case of $BA (Boeing) , when an unprofitable and overpriced company simply does not fail because it is very important. So we can say that we, as investors, are on the same side of pulling the rope as the US Government. And that is a strong ally.
?The company has a relatively large debt in the past (the development of fighters costs something), but chose the best period of low interest rates. And repaying the debt will be right now at a time of rising inflation, when it can beautifully reflect inflation in prices, while interest rates on the debt are fixed at a minimum. Good work with financial instruments! Well done!
?At the same time, the company has the security of orders for several years ahead and actually generates cash flow, unlike many companies in this sector. At the same time, it is still available for purchase at PE = 15, with the sector average around 30 and direct competitors such as $BA having 50,
✅Summary:
Lockheet is a defensive investment, which is secured by a great competitive advantage, a strategic business sector and a huge number of orders that it does not have time to process and pushes them in front of it. As investors, we are on the side of the US government, and I think that is a great certainty. The company is significantly undervalued due to the sector, but at the same time it was included in the ETF for space, which are currently quite popular, and we can use it as investors and ride the wave of popularity.
The risk could be a high degree of pacifization of the world in the coming decade, but I do not attach much of a probability to that.
Strong BUY.
