1 Defense Stock That Could Benefit in Times of Global Tension
Defense stocks are attracting investor interest in a world marked by rising geopolitical instability, intensifying military activity and a renewed emphasis on national security. Among the numerous defense companies, Lockheed Martin Corporation (LMT) stands out as a top defense stock, with both strategic relevance and long-term growth potential. As one of the world's largest defense contractors and a key U.S. Department of Defense supplier, Lockheed Martin is at the forefront of developing cutting-edge fighter jets, missile systems, and space technology. Its extensive defense portfolio and long-term government contracts make it a dependable and potentially rewarding stock for investors seeking stability and growth in the face of geopolitical uncertainty. This New ETF Promises to Help You Invest Like Warren Buffett and Yields 15% Target Just Raised Its Dividend. Should You Buy TGT Stock Here? 6 Stocks to Buy to Give Your Portfolio the Perfect Mix of Growth, Value, and Defense Tired of missing midday reversals? The FREE Barchart Brief newsletter keeps you in the know. Sign up now! Lockheed Martin stock has returned nearly 150% in the last 10 years. So far this year, the stock is down 5.3% compared to the broader market's 3.8% gain, making now an excellent time to buy this exceptional stock on the dip. Valued at $107.8 billion, Lockheed Martin is consistently regarded as one of the world's largest defense contractors and the leading recipient of U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) contracts. The company operates in four primary business segments: Aeronautics: It is the company's largest and most iconic division, accounting for nearly 40% of total revenue. The segment is divided into four business lines: tactical aircraft, airlift, sustainment, and aeronautical research and development. Missiles and Fire Control (MFC): This division creates advanced weapons, precision strike systems, close combat weapon systems, and air and missile defense systems. Rotary and Mission Systems (RMS): This category includes naval and radar systems, integrated defense solutions, and helicopters. RMS supports a variety of mission types in the air, sea, and cyber domains. Space: The space division is responsible for satellite systems, space exploration vehicles, and missile warning systems. One of the most obvious consequences of rising global tensions is an increase in defense spending, which is working to Lockheed Martin's advantage. The company started 2025 on a strong note, with a 4% increase in sales in the first quarter to $17.9 billion, extending a two-year growth trend in sales. Net earnings increased 14% to $7.28 per share. Lockheed's MFC segment is emerging as a significant growth driver. Q1 sales increased 13% year-on-year, with a 50% increase in operating profit. The company received more than $2 billion in orders for systems such as the JASSM-LRASM, which is expected to produce 1,100 units per year by 2027. PAC-3, GMLRS, PrSM, and the long-running Fleet Ballistic Missile (FBM) program all contributed to the momentum. The company does not rely solely on the U.S. government. It has a large and growing international customer base, which accounts for 25%-30% of its total revenue. In aerospace, Singapore increased its F-35 commitment to 20 jets, demonstrating international demand resilience and resulting in a 3% increase in segment sales. Sales in the RMS segment increased by 6%, with radar systems, integrated warfare systems, and BLACK HAWK helicopter volumes driving the growth. However, in the Space segment, sales declined by 2% YoY due to lower OPIR volumes. In the first quarter, free cash flow of $955 million supported nearly $850 million in R&D investments and capital expenditures to stay ahead of the competition. In the Q1 earnings call, management highlighted that Lockheed's 21st-century security strategy uses digital technologies to integrate aircraft, satellites, missile systems, and ground assets, with artificial intelligence (AI), 5G, distributed cloud, and open C2 systems at its core. Lockheed also has one of the most shareholder-friendly policies in the defense sector. It distributed $1.5 billion to shareholders in dividends and buybacks. Lockheed intends to invest more than $10 billion in R&D and capex by 2027, returning at least $18 billion to shareholders. The company pays an attractive dividend that yields 2.9% and has a 22-year track record of increasing dividends. This makes LMT a good choice for both growth and income investors. Despite the imposition of new Chinese export controls on rare earth elements, management implied that Lockheed is relatively unaffected. The company is legally prohibited from sourcing Chinese materials for U.S. defense products, and it has long-standing contracts with non-Chinese suppliers. Furthermore, U.S. stockpiles and internal sourcing initiatives provide short-term protection, supporting Lockheed's 'anti-fragility strategy' of reducing reliance on adversarial nations for critical raw materials. CFO Evan Scott confirmed the company's full-year outlook remains intact, with tariff-related risks mitigated by cost recovery clauses in fixed-price contracts and cost-type structures that adjust for input price shifts. The guidance includes mid-single-digit sales growth, solid 11% segment margins, and around $6.7 billion in free cash flow. The company emphasized that its $173 billion backlog, equivalent to over two years of sales, supports long-term visibility and growth. Overall, LMT stock remains a 'Moderate Buy' on Wall Street. Of the 23 analysts that cover the stock, 11 rate it a 'Strong Buy,' 11 rate it a 'Hold' and one says it is a 'Strong Sell.' The average analyst target price of $525.50 suggests the stock can rebound and climb by 14.1% from current levels. Plus, the Street-high estimate of $670 implies the stock can rally as much 45.6% over the next 12 months. Lockheed Martin enters the remainder of 2025 with clear momentum. Its growing missile portfolio, long-term sustainment opportunities, and value-oriented modernization strategy form a compelling blueprint for durable growth, making it an attractive buy amid rising global tensions. Defense spending is often non-cyclical and tends to rise even during economic downturns. Unlike consumer goods or discretionary sectors, military programs are funded through long-term government budgets. This resilience makes LMT a defensive stock.

Make GST registration easier using technology, risk-based parameters: Nirmala Sitharaman
NEW DELHI: Union finance minister Nirmala Sitharaman on Friday told taxmen to make the Goods and Services Tax registration process easier, seamless, and more transparent with the use of technology and risk-based parameters. Union finance minister Nirmala Sitharaman asked CBIC to make the GST registration easier, seamless, and more transparent for taxpayers (PIB) Addressing a conclave of the Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs (CBIC), Sitharaman told officials to prepare an action plan to improve various parameters such as GST registration, processing of refunds, and handling taxpayers' grievances. The conclave was attended by principal chief commissioners, chief commissioners and director generals and field formations of the CBIC in New Delhi. During the conclave, CBIC highlighted the performance of customs and CGST zones on key indicators such as grievance redressal, refunds, audit and enforcement. The average time for grievance disposal has been reduced to just nine days, significantly better than the stipulated 21-day timeline, the finance ministry said in a statement. On refunds, 85% of claims were processed within the statutory 60-day limit, it said. GST audit coverage went up from 62.21% in 2022–23 to 88.74% in 2024–25. Detection of GST evasion had improved to ₹ 2,23,170 crore in 2024–25, with voluntary payments totalling ₹ 28,909 crore. The number of taxpayers repeated for audit more than once in three years is zero, it said. In the area of enhanced trade facilitation, facilitation of cargo through the risk management system (RMS) has steadily increased, with 86% of cargo being facilitated in 2025, up from 82% in 2022. Similarly, in 2024-25, 2140.35 kgs of seized gold were disposed of by handing it over to SPMCIL, it said. The finance minister also directed the Central GST (CGST) formations to launch targeted awareness campaigns among taxpayers, trade associations, and industry bodies regarding the mandatory documentation required for GST registration, particularly those related to the principal place of business, it said. This would help reduce rejections and delays in registration and enable faster processing of applications, she said. The minister also directed CGST zonal heads to have a dedicated helpdesk for GST registrations to facilitate the taxpayers in the application process. Sitharaman highlighted the need to ensure that GST 'seva kendras' and customs 'turant suvidha kendras' are well-staffed, accessible, and properly maintained, so that taxpayers receive timely and quality assistance. Emphasising taxpayer trust, she called for a targeted and sustained focus on grievance redressal, ensuring the timely resolution of queries and complaints through improved systems and accountability. Sitharaman also called for the speedy closure of investigations for Customs and CGST cases, and stressed the need to seek solutions to reduce the gap between detection and recovery. At the same time, the minister emphasised the need for preventing tax evasion and wrongful Input Tax Credits (ITC) claims. NTRS 2025 Sitharaman also released the fifth edition of the National Time Release Study -- NTRS 2025. According to the report, India has seen significant improvement in the average cargo release time in all four categories -- seaports, inland container depots (ICDs), integrated check posts (ICPs) and air cargo complexes (ACCs). The time release study (TRS) is a performance measurement tool that provides a quantitative assessment of the time taken for cargo release, helping to evaluate the efficiency of the clearance process. Since 2019, TRS has been conducted at 15 major locations, including seaports, ACCs, ICDs, and ICPs. In the import segment, average release time (ART) has declined between 2023 and 2025 across seaports by about six hours, ACCs by about five hours, and ICPs by approximately 18 hours. There has been an increase of about 12 hours in the case of ICDs, a finance ministry statement said, citing the report. A key strength of India's TRS lies in its use of accurate and reliable data sourced directly from the customs automated system, operated by the Directorate General of Systems and Data Management in the CBIC, the statement said. Over the years, the scope of TRS has significantly expanded. What began as a report measuring release time across select gateway ports now includes other areas of considerable importance, such as transit cargo, courier shipments, and commodity-specific assessments, it added. The fifth edition also adopted advanced methodologies to enable stage-wise and process-specific evaluations. This edition marked another milestone by widening its geographical coverage to three additional ports -- Kochi seaport, Garhi Harsaru ICD and Jaigaon land customs station (LCS).
