Lockheed Martin's Earnings Drop, But Future's Bright

Lockheed Martins stock plummeted 14.3% in April due to disappointing Q1 2026 earnings, with flat sales and a significant drop in earnings per share.

Despite cooling tensions in the Iran conflict, investors pulled back, causing shares to drop 23% from all-time highs.
