Lockheed Martin stock rises today as Pentagon contract update keeps defense demand in view

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. The stock traded between $196.24 and $197.60 during the session and remains within a 52-week range of $168.99 to $227.71.

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

As of 1:47 p.m. in New York on Friday, December 26, 2025, U.S. markets are open, but the tape is behaving like a post-holiday hallway: quieter than usual, with sudden echoes when a small-cap name trips an algorithm.
