Turning to the Portfolio's shares of Lockheed Martin (LMT), the aerospace giant remains on our shopping list because of the prospect for greater global defense spending ahead.
Bloomberg Intelligence finds the 15 largest European members of NATO will need to nearly double their annual military investment to $720 billion to bolster capacity against Russia and offset the possibility of less U.S. support under a Donald Trump presidency. In terms of the president elect’s defense spending plans, the growing expectation is that military spending will likely remain on its low-single-digit annual percentage gain increase trajectory. However, how that will be impacted by the Department of Government Efficiency remains to be seen. When we have more clarity on that, we’ll assess our next move with LMT shares.
