NEW YORK, January 1, 2026, 11:15 ET — Market closed. Boeing Co won a $2.7 billion Pentagon contract for post-production support on Apache helicopters, the Defense Department said late on Wednesday.

Lockheed Martin stock today dips despite $500 million Pentagon contract flow for Aegis, THAAD work

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 23:22 ET — Market closed Lockheed Martin Corp shares finished slightly lower on Tuesday after the Pentagon disclosed about $500 million in contract modifications tied to the contractor’s naval combat systems and missile-defense work. The new awards matter now because investors are trying to gauge how reliably big defense primes can translate steady government spending into cash flow as 2025 ends and budget debates shift toward 2026. They also highlight the role of foreign military sales and allied demand in Lockheed’s order pipeline. Foreign Military Sales is a U.S. government program that handles government-to-government weapons

Dow Jones today: DJIA slips after Fed minutes; Boeing pops on $8.6B Pentagon deal

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 17:41 ET — After-hours The Dow Jones Industrial Average ended Tuesday slightly lower as investors parsed Federal Reserve minutes and trimmed exposure into year-end. The blue-chip index fell 94.87 points, or 0.2%, to 48,367.06. Reuters The soft finish comes with one more U.S. trading session left in 2025, a period when reduced liquidity can magnify small shifts in positioning. For the Dow, which is price-weighted, moves in higher-priced components can have an outsized impact on the index. Trading stayed subdued in a holiday-thinned market, with many investors already winding down activity for the year, the

Why Karman Holdings Stock Is Down Today: KRMN Slides as Year-End Flows Hit Defense-Space Names

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 14:21 ET — Regular session Karman Holdings Inc. shares were down 3.6% at $74.81 in afternoon trading on Tuesday, after touching $74.21 at the session low. The stock traded as high as $78.55, with about 465,000 shares changing hands. The dip comes in the final week of the year, when thinner liquidity can exaggerate moves in individual stocks. “It’s just a healthy rebalancing of allocations more so than an emotionally driven sell-off,” said Mark Hackett, chief market strategist at Nationwide, in a broader market note on holiday-thin trading.

Boeing stock rises on $8.6 billion Pentagon F-15 deal for Israel as investors weigh defense backlog

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 11:51 ET — Regular session Boeing shares rose about 1.9% to $221.33 in late-morning New York trading on Tuesday, after the Pentagon announced an $8.6 billion contract for fighter jets bound for Israel. Reuters The defense award matters now because investors have been leaning on any sign of steadier, longer-dated revenue as Boeing works through a multi-year operational reset. Big defense programs can help smooth results while the company tries to lift commercial production and deliveries, a key driver of cash.

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 11:23 PM ET — Market closed Lockheed Martin shares rose 1.21% to close at $488.87 on Monday, outperforming a softer U.S. stock market as investors digested fresh Pentagon contract activity tied to the defense contractor. MarketWatch+1 The move matters because Lockheed’s stock tends to trade on visibility into future government-funded work — especially sustainment, which is the maintenance and support that keeps deployed systems operating. Pentagon contract postings can offer a near-term read on allied demand and the pace of option exercises late in the year. U.S. Department of War Monday’s disclosure was small relative

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 23:07 ET — Market closed Honeywell International Inc. shares ended down 0.14% at $197.09 on Monday and eased to $196.89 in after-hours trading, as investors weighed a small U.S. Army contract update against a softer broader market into year-end.

Boeing stock edges up after-hours as Pentagon posts $8.6 billion F-15 deal — what investors watch next

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 19:30 ET — After-hours Boeing stock (BA) was up 0.4% at $217.25 in after-hours trading on Monday after the Pentagon posted an $8.6 billion award for Israel’s F-15 program. Boeing traded between $215.18 and $218.35 during the session. Reuters The headline matters because Boeing’s defense business can add long-dated revenue visibility while investors scrutinize whether the broader turnaround is sticking. New contract wins help support backlog, but they do not settle the near-term debate around execution and cash generation that has dominated trading in the stock. It also lands in thin, year-end markets, when single

Lloyds share price steadies after buyback update and BoE rate jitters — what to watch next week

7 February 2026
LONDON, February 7, 2026, 08:48 GMT — Market closed Lloyds Banking Group shares finished Friday higher after the lender flagged another round of share buybacks, helping to steady the stock at the end of a volatile two-day swing driven by shifting expectations for UK interest rates.
