23/06/25 - Companies To Watch: Is Lockheed Martin a ‘buy’ amid an escalation of the Iran-Israel war?What started as a promise to be a ‘peacemaker’ progressed to an escalation of the war between Iran and Israel, in which America is now an active participant. In a dramatic turn of events, US President Trump made the bold decision to insert the US into the fraught conflict, striking three nuclear sites in Iran over the weekend. That’s putting the strategic value of defense stocks in the spotlight.
Join Dan Koh and Ryan Huang as they analyse the investment case of Lockheed Martin, one of many defense stocks that defied the bearish movement in the broad equities market amid the widening of conflict in the Middle East.
