Pomerantz Law Firm Issues Important Update on Lockheed Martin Class Action Lawsuit for Investors
In a recent development concerning Lockheed Martin Corporation (NYSE: LMT), Pomerantz LLP has revealed that a class action lawsuit has been initiated against the aerospace and defense giant. This legal action draws attention due to significant losses incurred by investors who purchased Lockheed securities during the defined class period, with a deadline rapidly approaching for those wishing to participate as lead plaintiffs in the case.
The Allegations
The class action lawsuit highlights potential securities fraud and other questionable business practices allegedly conducted by Lockheed and some of its officers and/or directors.

Specifically, individuals are encouraged to contact attorney Danielle Peyton at Pomerantz LLP to ensure they are included in the upcoming actions.

Interested investors should provide their contact details and the number of shares acquired to facilitate a swift and comprehensive response.
Timeline of Events
The catalyst for this lawsuit appears to stem from Lockheed's announcement on October 22, 2024, when the company acknowledged recognizing a staggering $80 million loss on a classified program within its Aeronautics segment. This news resulted in a steep decline of 6.12% in Lockheed’s share price, closing at $576.98 that day. Analysts noted that troubling cost overruns for program objectives raised significant red flags about the company's operational integrity.
Further complicating matters, Lockheed’s January 28, 2025, declaration revealed an additional $1.7 billion in pre-tax losses tied to its classified programs within both Aeronautics and Missiles and Fire Control divisions. Herein, the company admitted to conducting a thorough review of their program’s various complexities, inevitably leading to a loss recognition that would heavily impact their financial statements. This announcement triggered another significant plunge in Lockheed's stock, with shares tumbling 9.2% to close at $57.45.
The downward trend didn’t stop there. By July 22, 2025, Lockheed released its second-quarter financial results, revealing ongoing challenges that culminated in a disheartening $1.6 billion loss. The company attributed this outcome partly to unforeseen difficulties in design and integration processes, as well as other operational issues across various program segments. Of particular note was a $950 million loss attributed to their Aeronautics Classified programs, further amplifying investor concerns. Consequently, the stock price fell by 10.8%, closing at $410.74, reflecting deep investor apprehension about the company’s future performance.
