Lockheed Martin stock pops in US premarket as Trump touts $1.5 trillion military budget, buyback ban looms

New York, January 8, 2026, 06:00 EST — Premarket Lockheed Martin shares jumped about 7% in premarket trading on Thursday after President Donald Trump called for a $1.5 trillion U.S. military budget for 2027, lifting defense contractors even as broader stock index futures edged lower ahead of key U.S. labor data. “A move toward more government intervention would create uncertainty,” said Mohit Kumar, an economist at Jefferies.
