Robust Sales Growth and Strategic Capital Deployment Highlight the Quarter
U.S. weapons maker Lockheed Martin beat Wall Street expectations for first-quarter sales and profit on Tuesday, as simmering geopolitical tensions prompted some countries to boost their defense spending, driving demand for new weapons. Sales in Lockheed's missiles and fire control unit jumped 25.3% to nearly $3 billion, boosted by strong demand for high mobility artillery rocket system (HIMARS) and guided multiple launch rocket system (GMLRS), key weapons used by Ukraine in its conflict with Russia. "These first-quarter results reinforce our confidence in our ability to achieve the full-year financial expectations we set in January," CEO Jim Taiclet said in a statement.
US weapons maker Lockheed Martin on Tuesday reported a near 14% rise in Q1 sales, as simmering geopolitical tensions fuel demand for new weapons.
