NASA’s Moon Nuclear Reactor Push Meets DOE Safety Rule Shake-Up — What Space and Nuclear Stocks Are Watching

NASA’s Moon Nuclear Reactor Push Meets DOE Safety Rule Shake-Up — What Space and Nuclear Stocks Are Watching

WASHINGTON, January 14, 2026, 03:25 EST NASA and the U.S. Department of Energy announced plans to develop a nuclear reactor for the Moon’s surface by 2030, reviving a partnership that places fission power at the heart of America’s lunar ambitions. Why it matters now: a reactor could provide a reliable power source during the Moon’s long periods of darkness, a key challenge for bases dependent on solar panels and batteries. This comes as the Energy Department revises sections of its nuclear regulations, a move that could change the timeline and expenses for projects dealing with radioactive materials — ranging from

Lockheed Martin stock nears a fresh high after Jefferies target hike as earnings loom

New York, Jan 13, 2026, 13:55 ET — Regular session Shares of Lockheed Martin Corp climbed roughly 1% on Tuesday, reaching $556.55 in afternoon trading and earlier hitting a high of $564.00. Jefferies raised its price target to $540 from $500 but maintained a “Hold” rating, cautioning that 2026 revenue and EPS guidance may “slightly disappoint.” (TipRanks) Timing is crucial. Defense stocks are moving based on policy signals and whether major contractors can boost production without sacrificing margins. Investors have been swift to punish any setbacks or delays.

Lockheed Martin stock steadies near highs after Jefferies lifts target — here’s what Wall Street watches next

New York, Jan 12, 2026, 19:24 EST — After-hours Lockheed Martin Corp shares gained 1.5% Monday, closing at $551.24. The defense giant remains close to a new 52-week peak following a series of policy-fueled moves in the sector. (Reuters) Why it matters now: traders face a dual challenge—gauging a White House capable of shifting the sector on a single headline, while also sizing up a company approaching earnings amid investors already favoring defense. Some are quick to adapt, others just buy the dips. The sector’s vulnerability was clear last week: Lockheed shares dropped roughly 7% late Wednesday after U.S. President

Lockheed Martin stock today: LMT edges up as defense names catch a safety bid

New York, Jan 12, 2026, 13:40 EST — Regular session Lockheed Martin Corp shares climbed $2.70, roughly 0.5%, to $545.62 on Monday, tracking gains across major defense contractors as broader markets showed volatility. RTX advanced around 1.6%, Northrop Grumman added 1.5%, and General Dynamics rose 1.3%. Investors are shifting toward defense, searching for a “safe-haven” as uncertainty builds ahead of Tuesday’s CPI inflation report. U.S. stocks turned volatile after the Trump administration threatened to indict Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, while President Trump’s call for a one-year cap on credit card interest rates dragged down financial shares, Reuters noted. “We

Trump’s payout curb keeps space and defense stocks in play ahead of Monday

Trump’s payout curb keeps space and defense stocks in play ahead of Monday

New York, Jan 11, 2026, 12:55 EST — Market closed Defense contractors are scrambling for legal counsel after President Donald Trump signed an executive order tying share buybacks, dividends, and executive pay to weapons delivery timelines, three sources familiar with the issue said. The sector handed back around $8 billion in dividends and about $10 billion in buybacks over the past year, according to Morgan Stanley data. Despite the move, aerospace-and-defense stocks ended the week higher: the iShares U.S. Aerospace & Defense ETF (ITA) jumped 2.4% on Friday, the SPDR S&P Aerospace & Defense ETF (XAR) gained 2.9%, Lockheed Martin

GE Aerospace stock: $1.42 billion Navy engine deal hits tape as earnings near

New York, Jan 11, 2026, 10:27 EST — Market closed. GE Aerospace shares are set to draw attention once U.S. markets reopen, following the Pentagon’s announcement of a $1.42 billion contract modification for engines powering the U.S. Marine Corps’ CH-53K heavy-lift helicopter. (U.S. Department of War) Timing is key here. The award lands as investors gear up for GE’s quarterly report later this month, where questions will focus on growth in its defense segment and how quickly engine deliveries and services are ramping up. The contract is firm-fixed-price, so GE takes on more cost risk if expenses climb. It extends

RTX stock set for Monday test after Trump order puts buybacks, dividends in play

New York, January 10, 2026, 15:25 EST — Market closed Defense contractors are scrambling for legal counsel after President Donald Trump signed an executive order linking share buybacks, dividends, and executive pay to weapons delivery timelines—putting RTX (NYSE: RTX) under the spotlight ahead of tomorrow’s session. The order gives the Secretary of War 30 days to identify contractors lagging on schedules and demands board-approved plans to fix delays. Franklin Turner, an attorney at McCarter & English, said the real kicker is the threat of payment freezes and contract cancellations. Big players like RTX, Lockheed Martin, and Northrop Grumman have dished

Lockheed Martin stock jumps on defense-budget headlines and a Truist upgrade — what matters next

NEW YORK, Jan 10, 2026, 13:34 EST — Market closed Lockheed Martin shares closed Friday up 4.72% at $542.92, reclaiming their spot at the top of the industrials sector after a volatile start to 2026. (MarketWatch) The trigger came from Washington. President Donald Trump proposed a $1.5 trillion U.S. military budget for 2027, sending Lockheed’s stock higher after it had dipped earlier in the week on worries over limits on shareholder payouts. RBC Capital Markets analysts, led by Ken Herbert, said that the budget boost might “offset” the potential blow from tighter capital return rules, though they warned of “significant

Lockheed Martin stock jumps near a 52-week high as Truist upgrades LMT and Trump targets defense payouts

NEW YORK, January 10, 2026, 06:38 (ET) — Market closed Lockheed Martin (LMT.N) closed up 4.7% on Friday at $542.92 after Truist analyst Michael Ciarmoli upgraded the stock to “buy” and raised his price target to $605 from $500. (Barron’s) The jump comes after U.S. President Donald Trump called for a $1.5 trillion U.S. military budget in fiscal 2027, far above the $901 billion Congress approved for 2026, a move that would still need lawmakers to sign off. Lockheed was up 6.2% in after-hours trade after the post, with peers General Dynamics and RTX also higher, Reuters reported. (Reuters) Defense

Lockheed Martin stock jumps on Truist upgrade as Trump payout order keeps defense names volatile

New York, January 9, 2026, 18:50 (EST) — After-hours Lockheed Martin Corp (LMT) shares rose 4.7% to $542.92 on Friday, extending a rebound in U.S. defense stocks after Truist upgraded the company to “Buy.” (Wall Street Journal) The move matters now because Washington has put shareholder payouts in the firing line. President Donald Trump has pledged to block dividends and share buybacks — where companies repurchase their own stock — at defense contractors until they speed up weapons production, a stance that can reshape how investors value the group. (Reuters) Defense names have swung sharply as traders try to net

Rocket Lab stock rebounds, holds after-hours bid as RKLB traders weigh insider sales and earnings clock

NEW YORK, Jan 9, 2026, 17:36 EST — After-hours Rocket Lab Corp shares closed up 2.1% on Friday and were modestly higher in after-hours trading, as the space launch and satellite builder steadied after a choppy run. The stock ended the session at $84.85 and was around $85.12 in extended trade. (MarketBeat) The move matters because Rocket Lab’s rally has pulled more short-term money into the name, and the tape has started reacting to filings and calendar risk rather than new contracts. Rocket Lab stock is up about 200% over the past 12 months, Barron’s reported this week, putting execution
