The Quality Score for LMT stands at 6.3 out of 10 as of October 18, 2026, which puts Lockheed Martin Corporation in the solid quality band. This band covers companies that do several things well but not everything, so the pillar detail below matters more than the headline. It rolls Lockheed Martin Corporation’s profitability, solvency, growth, efficiency and predictability into one number, each judged against the norms of its sector.
Among the 270 Industrials companies with a published score, that ranks at the 68th percentile, in the upper half of the group, short of the top quarter. For reference, the middle of the group scores 5.6 and a company needs 6.5 to reach its top quarter, which leaves Lockheed Martin Corporation above the median.
Profitability scores 7.6 out of 10, which reads as strong. The median across 262 Industrials companies is 4.9, so Lockheed Martin Corporation is well above its peers on this pillar and ranks at the 84th percentile. Returns and margins at this level leave room to reinvest, absorb a bad year or return cash to shareholders without straining the business.
Lockheed Martin Corporation’s solvency score is 6.1 out of 10 (average). Against a median of 7.1 among 241 Industrials companies, that is below the group and the 36th percentile. Leverage in the middle of the range is rarely a problem in good years, and it is worth watching how quickly it would tighten in a weak one.
On growth, Lockheed Martin Corporation scores 2.7, a weak reading. Its peers have a median of 5.4 across 216 Industrials companies, which places it well below them, at the 14th percentile. Weak growth means revenue and earnings have been flat or shrinking against peers, which can be cyclical or a sign of a market that is maturing.
Efficiency scores 7.5 out of 10, which reads as strong. The median across 264 Industrials companies is 6.2, so Lockheed Martin Corporation is above its peers on this pillar and ranks at the 81st percentile. High efficiency means assets and earnings are being turned into cash and output better than at most peers, a sign of a well run operation.
On predictability, Lockheed Martin Corporation scores 7.6, a strong reading. Its peers have a median of 5.0 across 267 Industrials companies, which places it well above them, at the 91st percentile. High predictability means the company’s results have moved steadily from year to year, which makes the other pillars more trustworthy as a guide.
The gap between Lockheed Martin Corporation’s best and worst pillar is wide: profitability at 7.6 against growth at 2.7, 4.9 points apart. An average of two readings this different deserves a closer look than the headline number. A profitability lead usually reflects something durable in the business model rather than a good year. Slow growth limits how fast the business can compound, even when everything else is in order.
The pillar with the most room to move the score is growth. If it rose to the median of Industrials companies, 5.4, Lockheed Martin Corporation’s overall score would go from 6.3 to about 6.8. The weights add up to 100 points (profitability 25, solvency 20, growth 20, efficiency 15, predictability 20), and Lockheed Martin Corporation has a reading on every pillar.

Each metric is scored from 0 to 10 against sector-aware benchmarks, where higher is better. Metrics roll up into five pillars, and the pillars combine into the overall score using the weights shown. Sector-sensitive metrics are judged relative to peers in the same sector.
This score is a systematic, backward-looking read of reported fundamentals. It does not judge valuation, management quality, competitive moat, or future prospects, and can be distorted by one-off items or unusual accounting. Treat it as a starting point, not a recommendation.

No. Quality and valuation are separate questions, and a good business at the wrong price is still a bad purchase. Score the business here, then price it with a DCF you control.
