Lockheed Martin stock price forecast after Iran strikes: what to watch before Monday’s open

Israel claimed the operation killed Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, though Reuters said it was unable to independently confirm that.

Northrop Grumman stock forecast after Iran strikes: what NOC investors should watch into Monday

NEW YORK, Feb 28, 2026, 15:59 — Market closed Northrop Grumman could draw plenty of attention as U.S. markets reopen Monday, following joint U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iran.

RTX stock faces Pentagon payout curb list next week as dividend stays in play

RTX stock faces Pentagon payout curb list next week as dividend stays in play

New York, February 7, 2026, 15:41 EST — The session has ended. RTX shares finished Friday in the green, climbing roughly 1.4% to $198.66, with the sector on edge as the Pentagon gets ready to unveil, early next week, a roster of defense contractors under review. Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, General Dynamics, and L3Harris are all in the spotlight alongside RTX. The backdrop: President Donald Trump’s Jan. 7 order could mean companies flagged as underperformers will face new curbs on dividends and stock buybacks—those being repurchases of their own stock. Data from Morgan Stanley put total payouts to shareholders at about $18 billion for the five largest defense names over the last 12 months. Trump has pointed directly at Raytheon, RTX’s unit, calling it “least responsive” to Pentagon demands. Any firms listed will have a 15-day window to submit remediation plans, signed off by their boards, with contract cancellations among the possible consequences. It’s still unclear whether subcontractors get swept in, and the order also directs the SEC to revisit buyback safe-harbor rules and tie executive compensation more closely to delivery performance.

Defense and space stocks rally, but Trump’s buyback-dividend squeeze is the next test

New York, Feb 7, 2026, 12:51 EST — Market closed. Space and defense names trading in the U.S. finished in the green Friday. The market’s focus, though, has shifted—earnings aren’t the spark this time, nor is fresh demand for missiles. Instead, investors are eyeing an upcoming Pentagon list that threatens to restrict buybacks and dividends for contractors failing to meet delivery targets.
