Why LMT's build rate re-rates it

LMT
Delayed

The thesis

Book-to-bill above one for several quarters is the tell here.

Defence budgets provide a floor under the order book regardless of macro.

What I'm watching

  • margin incrementals
  • build-rate guidance
  • A clean move through the level I flag below

Positioning

Long on LMT, 3-18 months horizon. Conviction: Low. Supply-chain hiccups delay the margin story; sized accordingly.

This lines up with what I'm seeing in the LMT tape.

Reasonable thesis but I think LMT is priced for most of this already.
