Lockheed Martin has declared a quarterly dividend of $3.45 per share for the second quarter of 2026. The payment will occur on June 26 to shareholders of record as of June 1, according to the companys announcement.
This maintains the same dividend level as the prior quarter. The ex-dividend date is June 2. At a recent stock price around $521, the move aligns with the companys current yield of approximately 2.05% to 2.83%, based on trailing twelve-month data and annual payouts near $13.80 per share.
The defense contractor, which specializes in aeronautic systems, missiles, helicopters, and space technologies, generates most revenue from U.S. government contracts. Net sales break down into aeronautics (40.3%), mission systems (23.1%), fire control (19.3%), and space (17.3%).
Recent shares closed at $512.25, with analysts targeting an average of $637.60. However, dividend payouts face potential near-term uncertainty from political pressures on defense contractors, including threats to halt payments until production accelerates amid a proposed $1.5 trillion defense budget.
Lockheed Martin employs 123,000 people and reported 2025 dividends totaling $13.35 per share across four quarterly payments.
