Lockheed Martin stock slides after Patriot missile deal, Goldman sticks to $430 sell target

NEW YORK, Jan 7, 2026, 17:02 EST Lockheed Martin has struck a seven-year framework agreement with the U.S. Department of War to more than triple production capacity of its PAC-3 missile interceptors, a key part of the Patriot air-defense system. Output is expected to rise to about 2,000 a year from roughly 600 as demand for air defenses climbs, and the missiles have also been supplied to Ukraine. The U.S. military awarded Lockheed a record $9.8 billion contract in September for 1,970 Patriot missiles.

Auchan sells eight Polish shopping centres to Hungary’s Adventum — and stays as tenant

Warsaw, Jan 7, 2026, 21:38 CET Auchan Polska and property partner Ceetrus have agreed to sell eight shopping centres in Poland to Hungary’s Adventum Penta Fund, a deal that keeps Auchan trading from the same sites. The buyer will take the real estate while Auchan remains the “anchor tenant” — the main store meant to draw shoppers — on long leases. The transaction gives Auchan fresh cash from property without pulling down shutters. It also underlines how big-box retailers are separating store operations from the land and buildings, a shift that can help shore up liquidity when margins get squeezed.

D-Wave Quantum stock dips after $550m Quantum Circuits deal — what QBTS investors watch next

NEW YORK, Jan 7, 2026, 15:17 EST — Regular session Shares of D-Wave Quantum (QBTS) were down about 1.1% at $30.93 on Wednesday afternoon, after the company agreed to acquire Quantum Circuits in a $550 million cash-and-stock deal.

Frontline (FRO) stock jumps as Venezuela tanker seizures stir oil-shipping bets

New York, Jan 7, 2026, 11:12 EST — Regular session Frontline plc (FRO.N) shares rose about 7.7% to $23.27 by 11:12 a.m. EST on Wednesday, after swinging between $21.69 and $23.48 in early trading.

Crackdowns like that can squeeze the pool of “clean” ships available for mainstream cargoes, a setup that can lift spot freight rates quickly. Reuters Venezuela was loading crude only
