Investigation of Lockheed Martin Securities
The renowned national securities law firm, Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP, is currently looking into potential claims made by investors against Lockheed Martin Corporation (NYSE: LMT). This inquiry is primarily due to significant financial losses that the company has recently announced, which have raised concerns regarding its financial reporting and internal controls.
Financial Performance and Allegations
Between January 23, 2024, and July 21, 2025, Lockheed Martin faced substantial challenges that prompted this investigation. It is alleged that the company may have violated federal securities laws by making misleading statements or failing to disclose critical information, including:
1. The lack of effective internal controls concerning risk-adjusted contracts.
2. Insufficient procedures for comprehensive program requirement reviews, including technical complexities and associated risks.
3. Exaggerated claims regarding their ability to fulfill contract commitments in relation to costs, quality, and timelines.
4. A significant likelihood of reporting losses due to these oversights.
The repercussions of these allegations became evident when, on October 22, 2024, Lockheed Martin revealed an unexpected loss of $80 million on a classified program in its Aeronautics sector. The news led to an immediate drop in share prices, marking a 6.12% decline. Furthermore, on January 28, 2025, the company reported pre-tax losses reaching $1.7 billion across its classified programs, causing the stock to plummet another 9.2%. The impact of these announcements on public perception and investor confidence has been severe, leading to a dramatic fall in Lockheed's share value.
Legal Rights of Investors
Faruqi & Faruqi urges all who purchased or obtained securities from Lockheed Martin during the specified period to assess their legal options. The firm highlights a key date: September 26, 2025, which acts as a deadline for potential lead plaintiffs in a federal securities class action against the company. Investors are encouraged to reach out to attorney James (Josh) Wilson for a consultation to discuss their rights and the potential for a class action.
