However, a mild 0.27% revenue contraction and modest earnings growth forecast of 6.11% per annum temper optimism. Discounted cash flow (DCF) models also indicate a valuation discount. Investors are weighing steady income potential against near-term sales pressure and slower growth prospects in reassessing Unilever's market position.

How to Buy US Shares in Australia Without Getting Ripped Off
January 22, 2026, 12:34 AM EST. Australian investors are increasingly drawn to US shares, attracted by strong performances like the NASDAQ's 30% gain in recent years. However, buying US stocks involves specific challenges: shares are held in custodial brokerage accounts, exposing investors to some insolvency risk, and currency risk can impact returns when converting AUD to USD and back. Australians must also complete the W-8BEN form to benefit from a 15% dividend tax discount. Despite risks, US markets offer opportunities beyond the ASX200's moderate 10-15% gains.

Valuation metrics show the company is slightly undervalued with a price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 32.3x, below the peer average of 38.3x and industry average of 40.9x, signaling potential upside. However, discounted cash flow (DCF) analysis estimates a fair value near $599.47, only 2.2% above the current price, suggesting limited margin for error. Investors should consider risks like shifts in government defense budgets and program disruptions across Lockheed Martin's divisions. Overall, while the valuation offers modest attraction, confidence in future cash flow assumptions remains crucial.
