Hegseth publicly pushed Congress to approve a $1.5 trillion Pentagon FY2027 budget, reviving the headline case for bigger defense spending and contract wins. Bigger budgets obviously matter to primes like LMT because they scale procurement and replenish munitions stocks. That said the market has already priced a lot in. LMT’s RSI is 75.81 and the name rallied earlier on the proposal; the stock is slightly down today (-0.94%), so buyers aren’t charging blindly. Bottom line: novelty is limited and upside looks crowded. We lean neutral — wait for clearer legislative progress or sharper price action before leaning bullish here.
