With Geopolitical Tensions Running Hot, Buy This Dividend Stock
Global geopolitical tensions have eased somewhat after the fragile ceasefire between Iran and Israel. While global markets breathed a sigh of relief, some defense stocks understandably fell. That said, I believe global geopolitical tensions are now a structural story, with the U.S. continuing to closely watch Russia and China. Given the expectations, I find Lockheed Martin (LMT) stock a good buy. The stock is a play on rising global defense spending, trades at reasonable valuations, and its dividend yield has risen to almost 3% after the drawdown in the stock. Let's discuss in detail. With Geopolitical Tensions Running Hot, Buy This Dividend Stock Markets move fast. Keep up by reading our FREE midday Barchart Brief newsletter for exclusive charts, analysis, and headlines. Global defense spending is expected to rise significantly over the next decade, with NATO members (with the exception of Spain) committing to invest 5% of their respective GDPs in defense over the next 10 years. While nine NATO members did not meet the 2% target that the alliance set in 2014, there could be a sense of urgency now, given the rising threat from Russia. While the collective 5% target might still be missed, we can be reasonably sure that the alliance's defense spending will be significantly higher in the next 10 years than it was in the preceding. It is still early to say how much of the higher spend will be directed to U.S. companies, but it's nonetheless an opportunity for players like Lockheed Martin. U.S. allies in the Middle East are also ramping up defense spending. Elsewhere, India, which is among the major arms importers globally, might also bump up its defense spending following the recent clashes with rival Pakistan. The country's defense spending as a percentage of GDP has fallen below 2% and it might need to increase spending as it faces threats from both China and Pakistan. Historically, the country has bought the bulk of its defense equipment from Russia (and its predecessor the Soviet Union), but has been pivoting to Western suppliers. While the country does not buy a lot of defense equipment from the U.S. yet, President Donald Trump might push it to do so to address its trade surplus. Looking stateside, while Lockheed Martin missed out on the U.S. Air Force's Next Generation Air Dominance (NGAD) program, which was awarded to Boeing (BA), the company is a strong contender for the Golden Dome missile defense program. The company is positioning its portfolio for new-age warfare, and in February, it unveiled a system to counter unmanned aerial systems. Lockheed Martin's book-to-bill ratio was below 1 in Q1, which means it booked fewer orders than it billed during the quarter. However, the company had an order backlog worth $173 billion, which is more than two times its annual revenue. Lockheed Martin is expected to post mid-single-digit top-line growth in 2025 and 2026. Its earnings per share (EPS) is expected to fall around 4% this year, in part due to higher costs. Notably, 60% of LMT's contracts are fixed-price contracts, which means that the company cannot pass on higher costs to buyers. Its earnings are, however, expected to rise over 9% in 2026. Lockheed Martin stock trades at a forward price-earnings (P/E) of 16.8x, which looks reasonable. While there are headwinds, including from tariffs, and sentiment toward defense stocks has been subdued of late, I believe higher geopolitical tensions are here to stay, which will bolster the earnings of defense companies like Lockheed Martin. Wall Street analysts, however, have a mixed opinion on LMT, and it has 11 'Strong Buy' and 11 'Hold' ratings. One analyst rates the stock as a 'Strong Sell,' and its mean target price of $525.50 is 12.5% higher than its current price. Lockheed Martin has a dividend yield of 2.85% which is higher than other defense companies like RTX (RTX), General Dynamics (GD), and Northrop Grumman (NOC). At the same time, its current valuations are below these companies. LMT stock might fit into the portfolios of investors who want to play the rising global defense spending story with a high dividend stock. The stock's risk-return looks reasonably attractive, as while the valuations are not mouthwatering, they are good enough to make an entry into this defense stock.

New supply management law won't save the system from Trump, experts say
OTTAWA - A new law meant to protect supply management might not be enough to shield the system in trade talks with a Trump administration bent on eliminating it, trade experts say. 'It's certainly more difficult to strike a deal with the United States now with the passage of this bill that basically forces Canada to negotiate with one hand tied behind its back,' said William Pellerin, a trade lawyer and partner at the firm McMillan LLP. 'Now that we've removed the digital service tax, dairy and supply management is probably the number 1 trade irritant that we have with the United States. That remains very much unresolved.' When Trump briefly paused trade talks with Canada on June 27 over the digital services tax — shortly before Ottawa capitulated by dropping the tax — he zeroed in on Canada's system of supply management. In a social media post, Trump called Canada a 'very difficult country to TRADE with, including the fact that they have charged our Farmers as much as 400% Tariffs, for years, on Dairy Products.' Canada can charge about 250 per cent tariffs on U.S. dairy imports over a set quota established by the Canada-U.S.-Mexico Agreement. The International Dairy Foods Association, which represents the U.S. dairy industry, said in March the U.S. has never come close to reaching those quotas, though the association also said that's because of other barriers Canada has erected. When Bill C-202 passed through Parliament last month, Bloc Québécois MPs hailed it as a clear win protecting Quebec farmers from American trade demands. The Bloc's bill, which received royal assent on June 26, prevents the foreign affairs minister from making commitments in trade negotiations to either increase the tariff rate quota or reduce tariffs for imports over a set threshold. On its face, that rule would prevent Canadian trade negotiators from offering to drop the import barriers that shield dairy and egg producers in Canada from price shocks. But while the law appears to rule out using supply management as a bargaining chip in trade talks with the U.S., it doesn't completely constrain the government. Pellerin said that if Prime Minister Mark Carney is seeking a way around C-202, he might start by looking into conducting the trade talks personally, instead of leaving them to Foreign Affairs Minister Anita Anand. Carney dismissed the need for the new law during the recent election but vowed to keep supply management off the table in negotiations with the U.S. Pellerin said the government could also address the trade irritant by expanding the number of players who can access dairy quotas beyond 'processors.' '(C-202) doesn't expressly talk about changing or modifying who would be able to access the quota,' he said. Expanding access to quota, he said, would likely 'lead to companies like grocery stores being able to import U.S. cheeses, and that would probably please the United States to a significant degree.' Carleton University associate professor Philippe Lagassé, an expert on Parliament and the Crown, said the new law doesn't extend past something called the 'royal prerogative' — the ability of the executive branch of government to carry out certain actions in, for example, the conduct of foreign affairs. That suggests the government isn't constrained by the law, he said. 'I have doubts that the royal prerogative has been displaced by the law. There is no specific language binding the Crown and it would appear to run contrary to the wider intent of the (law that it modifies),' he said by email. 'That said, if the government believes that the law is binding, then it effectively is. As defenders of the bill insisted, it gives the government leverage in negotiation by giving the impression that Parliament has bound it on this issue.' He said a trade treaty requires enabling legislation, so a new bill could remove the supply management constraints. 'The bill adds an extra step and some constraints, but doesn't prevent supply management from eventually being removed or weakened,' he said. Trade lawyer Mark Warner, principal at MAAW Law, said Canada could simply dispense with the law through Parliament if it decides it needs to make concessions to, for example, preserve the auto industry. 'The argument for me that the government of Canada sits down with another country, particularly the United States, and says we can't negotiate that because Parliament has passed a bill — I have to tell you, I've never met an American trade official or lawyer who would take that seriously,' Warner said. 'My sense of this is it would just go through Parliament, unless you think other opposition parties would bring down the government over it.' While supply management has long been a target for U.S. trade negotiators, the idea of killing it has been a non-starter in Canadian politics for at least as long. Warner said any attempt to do away with it would be swiftly met with litigation, Charter challenges and provinces stepping up to fill a federal void. 'The real cost of that sort of thing is political, so if you try to take it away, people are screaming and they're blocking the highways and they are calling you names and the Bloc is blocking anything through Parliament — you pay a cost that way,' he said. But a compromise on supply management might not be that far-fetched. 'The system itself won't be dismantled. I don't think that's anywhere near happening in the coming years and even decades,' said Pellerin. 'But I think that there are changes that could be made, particularly through the trade agreements, including by way of kind of further quotas. Further reduction in the tariffs for outside quota amounts and also in terms of who can actually bring in product.' The United States trade representative raised specific concerns about supply management in the spring, citing quota rules established under the CUSMA trade pact that are not being applied as the U.S. expected and ongoing frustration with the pricing of certain types of milk products. Former Canadian diplomat Louise Blais said that if Canada were to 'respect the spirit' of CUSMA as the Americans understand it, the problem might actually solve itself. 'We jump to the conclusion that it's dismantlement or nothing else, but in fact there's a middle ground,' she said. This report by The Canadian Press was first published July 3, 2025.
