"Loheed Martin, of course, we are seeing this stock in the green earlier up as much as about 5.3% now pairing a bit, but this after it struck a deal with the Pentagon to triple production of its Patriot air defense missile, which we know is deployed not only by the United States, but about 17 other countries. So, really critical here. This agreement is really clearing the way for negotiations over a 7-year contract to increase production of this. And this is really just a broader US push to ramp up weapons output. So you are seeing the street clearly liking this stock."

The insight focuses on Lockheed Martin (LMT) showing positive momentum after securing a Pentagon deal that triples production of its Patriot air defense missile. The deal not only supports near-term gains but also paves the way for a potential 7-year production contract, underscoring a long-term catalyst amid a broader defense industry push.
