How To Trade LMT Stock Ahead Of Earnings?
Lockheed Martin is scheduled to release its quarterly earnings on Tuesday, April 22, 2025. The defense contractor currently holds a market capitalization of $113 billion and has posted $71 billion in revenue over the past twelve months. The company continues to be profitable, with $7.0 billion in operating income and $5.3 billion in net income.
Wall Street analysts anticipate earnings of $6.30 per share on revenue of $17.8 billion, compared to $6.33 per share on $17.2 billion in revenue during the same quarter last year. While most business segments are expected to contribute to revenue growth, the Space division may experience a decline due to reduced volume in the Next-Generation Overhead Persistent Infrared program.
For event-driven investors, historical trends can offer useful insights. Traders may choose to position themselves ahead of the report based on past trends or respond after the release by evaluating correlations between short-term and medium-term performance. Looking at LMT's five-year trend, the stock posted negative one-day returns 60% of the time, with a median single-day drop of 3.2% and a maximum one-day decline of 11.8%. If you're aiming for upside potential with less volatility than individual stocks, the Trefis High-Quality portfolio offers an alternative — outperforming the S&P 500 with returns above 91% since inception.

A potentially less risky approach (provided correlations are strong) is to examine relationships between short-term and medium-term returns following earnings and act accordingly. For instance, if 1D and 5D have the highest correlation, traders could go 'long' for the 5-day period after a positive 1D return. Below is correlation data based on both five-year and three-year performance. Note that 1D_5D indicates the correlation between 1D and 5D post-earnings returns.

Elon Musk loses $15 billion in net worth after Tesla stock sinks
Tesla CEO Elon Musk formally launched his new political organization over the weekend — the " America Party" — and on Monday morning the markets reacted. Tesla shares fell nearly 7% and shed roughly $21 per share as of market closing at 4 p.m. ET. The launching of his political party was just another move in Musk's very public feud with President Donald Trump, whom the SpaceX CEO donated at least $277 million to support during the 2024 presidential campaign. As a result, the world's richest man's net worth is $15 billion less than it was on Sunday, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, though he still leads in wealth. The sell-off came on a dampened day for markets due to the prospect of more tariffs and deepened an already brutal stretch for Tesla investors. Tesla stocks are down 31% since Trump's inauguration in January, while the S&P 500 gained around 4% over the same period. Tesla has also posted back-to-back quarterly declines in vehicle deliveries in 2025, marking the EV maker's worst performance since 2022. Tesla and Musk did not immediately respond to requests for comments. Recent notes from analysts show investors disapprove of Musk's latest political moves across the board. " Elon Musk diving deeper into politics and now trying to take on the Beltway establishment is exactly the opposite direction that Tesla investors/shareholders want him to take," Wedbush Securities analyst and Tesla Bull Dan Ives wrote in a note on Sunday. William Blair analysts Jed Dorsheimer and Mark Shooter wrote in a note on Monday that " investors are growing tired of the distraction" and that shareholders would "prefer this effort to be channeled towards the robotaxi rollout." William Blair also downgraded Tesla from "buy" to "hold" based on regulatory headwinds from Trump's "Big Beautiful Bill," which would eliminate tax credits for electric vehicles. According to Silver Bulletin's composite average of public opinion polls, the share of Americans with an unfavorable view of Musk has now risen to 55% from 45% at the end of 2024, and the trend is present across party lines. Philip Bell, political strategist and CEO of Tower K Group, told Business Insider on Monday that as a Tesla investor himself, he doesn't think it would be disastrous for Tesla if Musk leaves the company entirely to pursue politics. "I think it could be beneficial to Tesla because you'll have that belief of founder risk finally go away," said Bell, "And number two, the DNA that he has infused in Tesla will allow it to succeed for quite some time — there are a lot of people there who are able to innovate and obviously able to do the nuts and bolts of putting cars together."

JPMorgan delivers blunt warning on S&P 500
Wall Street loves a great comeback. The S&P 500 marked its 10th record close recently, and investors feel invincible again. Don't miss the move: Subscribe to TheStreet's free daily newsletter However, beneath the cheers, one major variable could rattle what has been a welcome rally. A heavyweight analyst just sounded the alarm on what's lurking in the background, which might hit harder than traders think. Image source: Triballeau/AFP via Getty Images Tariffs stole the spotlight this year, gutting stocks in April before bulls came out with a vengeance. It all started with President Trump's infamous "Liberation Day" tariffs on April 2. A fresh 10% levy on all imports and steep reciprocal duties on key partners led to a four-day slide, shaving a frightening 3.2% off the S&P 500. The plunge resulted in over a $3 trillion erosion in market value. By April 8, the benchmark was down roughly 1.6%, marking its worst four-day stretch since the Covid fiasco. Tariffs effectively function as a tax on businesses and consumers alike. Higher import costs eat into the already thin margins for manufacturers, retailers, and companies that rely on global supply chains. Related: Big Wall Street call flips script on S&P 500 'Goldilocks' rally That uncertainty typically leads to delayed expansions, inflationary pressures, and hiring freezes, while chilling broader growth. For markets, the sudden tariff hikes bring a shock, hitting earnings forecasts and sending stocks lower. Fortunately, the damage didn't last for long. Markets started to rebound through May, hoping for a White House pause on more tariff hikes, along with positive signs of progress with China. After a mid-June trade truce, the U.S. slapped a China 55% tariff on key imports, while Beijing countered with a 10% duty. Moreover, the Trump tariff deadline was moved from July 9 to August 1, a fresh catalyst that led to eventual stock market highs. More Stock Market News: Google's quiet AI win spells trouble for AmazonTop analyst revamps Nvidia price target for one surprising reasonVeteran Tesla analyst drops 4-word call From its mid-April lows, the S&P soared nearly 20% higher by early June, pulling back into the green for the year. By late June, with a 90-day freeze on new tariffs in place, the S&P climbed to fresh all-time highs. Nevertheless, the risk is far from over at this point. Tariffs remain a key wild card that could shake up Wall Street's cautious rally. President Trump's 90-day pause on new reciprocal tariffs runs out soon, and the S&P 500 could soon feel the effects. Morgan Stanley says the base case is for modest tariff bumps, but warns new "noise" could spark investor fear if negotiations stall. Treasury Secretary Bessent talked about how Tariffs could snap back to April 2 levels for countries without a deal. Strategist Michael Zezas feels that the White House could stretch the pause for allies, citing "progress" with countries like Vietnam. For some countries, the threat of future hikes is well and truly alive, including the EU and Japan. Related: Housing market update spells more trouble Any sharp hike could dent consumers and growth fast. Morgan Stanley feels an aggressive tariff reset might drag the U.S. GDP down to 1% year-over-year by year-end, as sticky inflation and rich stock valuations test investor nerves. Despite plenty of bumps, U.S. stocks are still in the green halfway through 2025. The S&P 500 is up 6.8% year to date, while the Nasdaq Composite, boosted by Nvidia's massive 19% YTD surge, is tracking a 6.7% gain. Similarly, the Dow Jones Industrial Average, with a more cyclical-heavy makeup, is up a steady 5.4% YTD. The DJIA's performance highlights robust earnings from industrials and financials, even as rate-sensitive sectors lag. June, in particular, was strong for bulls. The S&P jumped almost 5% last month, its best monthly move since late 2023. Nonetheless, the rally has pushed valuations above historical averages, with some analysts cautioning that the S&P trades near 24.5× forward earnings, leaving little room for disappointment.

GreenMine 2.0 is launched: APT Miner leads the green mining revolution
London, UK, July 07, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Cloud mining is growing explosively, and APT Miner is taking the pulse of the market Advertisement Bitcoin recently broke through the $109,000 mark, just one step away from its all-time high. According to Bloomberg data, BlackRock's IBIT and other spot ETFs have attracted funds for several consecutive weeks, and the speed of capital return has far exceeded expectations. The market's confidence in long-term allocation of cryptocurrencies is gradually recovering. Jason Leaf, CEO of APT Miner, said: 'The release of GreenMine 2.0 is not only a reflection of our technical capabilities , but also a conceptual innovation.

The system makes intelligent judgments based on on-chain data, market fluctuations, and currency popularity, and dynamically allocates user computing power to assets with the highest return rates (such as BTC, DOGE, LTC, ETH, XRP, etc.) without manual operation. Supported by 100% green energy and practicing the carbon neutrality commitment, the platform has deployed multiple solar and wind power data centers in Northern Europe, Southeast Asia, South America and other regions. All mining activities do not rely on traditional power grids, truly achieving environmental protection, high efficiency and low carbon.

Investor behavior is changing, APT Miner becomes the first choice for 'new school' users In this highly volatile and increasingly regulated crypto market, more and more long-term holders (such as ETH and XRP investors) are moving away from high-frequency trading and turning their attention to more robust ways to increase their asset value.

Users only need to select the appropriate contract, and the system will automatically run the mining task and distribute the income on a daily basis.

Some ETH investors reported that after participating in medium-term contracts through APT Miner, their daily income has stabilized at more than US$3,000, and they do not need to pay attention to currency price fluctuations every day.
