Investor Notice: Class Action Opportunity for Lockheed Martin
In a recent announcement made by Robbins Geller Rudman & Dowd LLP, investors in Lockheed Martin Corporation (NYSE: LMT) who suffered considerable financial losses are being alerted to an opportunity to lead a securities class action lawsuit. This opportunity is particularly relevant for those who purchased or acquired Lockheed Martin securities within the defined Class Period, which extends from January 23, 2024, through July 21, 2025.
Details of the Lawsuit
The case, titled
Khan v. Lockheed Martin Corporation, brings allegations of significant wrongdoing against both the aerospace giant and some of its top executives, each of whom is charged with violations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Key accusations include misleading statements regarding the company’s operational capacities and the management of its contracts. The firm alleges that Lockheed Martin not only lacked effective internal controls regarding its financial reporting, but also failed to provide a transparent account of its risks associated with various contracts.
According to the lawsuit, Lockheed Martin made several critical errors. These included:
1. Failing to establish proper internal controls concerning risk-adjusted contracts.
2. Inadequate procedures for comprehensive program reviews encompassing technical complexities, delivery schedules, and risks associated with various projects.
3. Overstating its contract commitments' delivery capabilities in relation to cost, quality, and timing.
As a result of these misrepresentations, investors were left vulnerable to substantial financial losses.
Major Financial Impacts
The financial repercussions for Lockheed Martin were underscored in a series of alarming disclosures regarding losses:
- - On October 22, 2024, the company revealed an $80 million loss linked to a classified program in its Aeronautics segment. The announcement cited unexpected costs as a primary factor for these losses, leading to a more than 6% drop in the company’s stock price.
- - On January 28, 2025, the company further disclosed a staggering pre-tax loss of $1.7 billion due to similar issues, resulting in a 9% decline in stock price.
- - Just a few months later, on July 22, 2025, Lockheed Martin admitted to another $1.6 billion in pre-tax losses, which also contributed to a near 11% plunge in stock prices.
With these significant financial losses publicized, affected investors now have a pivotal opportunity to take action.
