Is Lockheed Martin a Buy?

Lockheed Martin (NYSE: LMT) shares have been on a tear: They're up 49% year to date -- 30 percentage points ahead of the S&P 500 -- and up almost 120% over the past five years.

Those gains are attributable in part to an overall bullish run for defense stocks, fueled by spending increases at the Pentagon. But Lockheed has been among the leaders in the sector thanks to a solid track record of beating expectations and a portfolio loaded with products that address some of the Department of Defense's top priorities.
