Chief Operating Officer

@ $491.04
Significance 6/10

COO Frank St John sold entire 7,792-share LMT position for $3,826,166.25 in 3 transactions at blended $491.04

St John Frank A, Chief Operating Officer of Lockheed Martin, executed 3 separate sales on 2025-10-23 totaling 7,792 shares for $3,826,166.25, completely liquidating his shareholding. The blended average sale price of $491.04 sits 0.9% above the current price of $486.91 and 15.0% below the 52-week high of $576.98, placing the exit in the middle-to-lower portion of recent trading range. His prior three sales at LMT (all on 2024-03-01) generated positive 30-day returns averaging 6.7% and positive 90-day returns averaging 8.1%, indicating those earlier exits preceded stock strength rather than declines. This complete liquidation by a senior executive, combined with the historical pattern of his prior sales being followed by positive returns, warrants examination of whether this represents a material portfolio shift or reflects evolving strategic positioning by company leadership.

Pres. Rotary & Mission Systems
4,791 shares

@ $442.51
Significance 4/10

Lockheed Martin president Stephanie Hill sells 4,791 shares at $442.51 for $2.1M; stock down 14.9% in 90 days

Hill Stephanie C., President of Rotary & Mission Systems, executed a sale of 4,791 shares at $442.51 on 2025-02-26, reducing her holdings by 33.9% from 14,123 to 9,332 shares. This sale occurred as LMT is trading 26.7% below its 52-week high of $614.61 and has declined 14.9% over the past 90 days. Her prior five trades at LMT (all in 2024) show a mixed pattern: while four of five were followed by near-term 30-day gains of 4.0–5.5%, only one of five achieved a 90-day positive return (8.6% on the March 2024 trade), indicating that her historical timing at this specific ticker is not consistently predictive. Against this backdrop of recent negative price momentum in a $106.0B company with solid fundamentals (P/E 20.11, $17.1B quarterly revenue), the magnitude of this sale and the timing relative to recent weakness merit monitoring for context around capital allocation decisions at the executive level.

President Space
3,213 shares

@ $442.42
Significance 6/10

LMT President (Space) Robert Lightfoot sold 3,213 shares at $442.42; holdings reduced 61.6% to 2,000 shares

Robert M Lightfoot JR, President of Space at Lockheed Martin, sold 3,213 shares on 2025-02-26 at $442.42, reducing his holdings by 61.6% from 5,213 to 2,000 shares and realizing $1,421,506.06 in proceeds. The sale occurred with LMT trading at a significant discount to its 52-week high—26.7% below the $614.61 peak—and following a 14.9% decline over the prior 90 days, suggesting the executive chose to exit a material position during a period of weakness. The magnitude of the reduction (eliminating roughly three-fifths of his holdings) in conjunction with the stock's recent underperformance and proximity to its 52-week lows warrants investor attention to determine whether the transaction reflects routine portfolio management or signals a shift in executive conviction regarding the company's near-term trajectory.

Pres. Rotary & Mission Systems
3,272 shares
$1,775,771
@ $542.72
Significance 5/10

President of Lockheed Martin's Rotary & Mission Systems sold 3,272 shares for $1,775,771.47 on 2024-08-01

Hill Stephanie C., President of Rotary & Mission Systems, executed four separate sales totaling 3,272 shares for $1,775,771.47 at a blended average price of $542.72. The sale reduced her holdings by 26.0%, from 12,604 shares to 9,332 shares. The timing of this sale occurred near the 52-week high (current price $545.38 is -0.6% from the $548.86 high), and the stock has seen strong recent momentum with +18.0% 30-day and +16.9% 90-day gains. Her cross-ticker track record shows mixed execution—2 prior sells with an average 90-day return of +0.3% and a 50.00% well-timed rate—while at LMT specifically, her prior two sells were split (2024-03-06 showed +8.6% 90-day return; 2023-04-20 showed -8.0% 90-day return). Without a 10b5-1 plan notation, this appears discretionary, though the absence of a scheduled trading plan flag prevents definitive timing characterization. The transaction is material but represents a moderate portfolio adjustment for a senior executive in a large-cap defense contractor ($130.0B market cap, 19.72 P/E).

Pres. Missiles & Fire Control

@ $515.36
Significance 5/10

Cahill (Pres. Missiles & Fire Control) sold 3,975 shares for $2,048,562.59 on 2024-07-24 at blended avg $515.36.

Cahill executed 4 separate sales totaling 3,975 shares for $2,048,562.59, reducing his holdings by 30.9% from 12,852 to 8,877 shares. The transactions occurred at prices ranging from $514.60 to $517.71 on a single day (2024-07-24), with the blended average price of $515.36 occurring just $5.04 below the current price of $521.40 and well above the 52-week low of $397.35. The stock is near its 52-week high and has appreciated +11.4% over 30 days and +13.0% over 90 days. While the transaction represents a material reduction in his stake at elevated valuation levels, the absence of prior trade history and the concentrated timing of all sales in a single day prevent characterization of execution pattern or strategic intent.
