Analysts updated the price target for Lockheed Martin Corp LMT after it reported better than–expected Q4 results.
- UBS analyst Myles Walton raised the price target to $425 (an upside of 8.7%) from $410 and kept a Buy rating on the shares.
- The analyst says the company's Q4 results were "solid," reversing the softer Q3 print.
- Walton adds that Lockheed's better-than-expected Q4 free cash flow, lack of additional negatives, forward-leaning posture on capital return, the unfavorable FTC decision on the Aerojet Rocketdyne Holdings Inc AJRD deal, and a lower research amortization rule impact all combined for a "nice bounce" in the stock.
