The structural read

What price action says about LMT.

LMT qualifies for the Red List on decline depth — down -24.8% from its rolling 252-day high. Past 30% with the high set inside the last four months — the recency clause that often precedes further breakdown.

Cross-confirmation: decline sigma also reads 9.1σ over 20 bars.

Alongside that decline, our proprietary engine has flagged a confirmed bullish structural signal on one or more time frames — moderate or strong time-frame-continuity (TFC) alignment — so the ticker also carries a Recovering badge. The two readings coexist: the tier tells you how deep the damage is, the Recovering badge tells you whether momentum may be turning. Recovering is not a buy signal; it's a structural read.

Upstream TFC read: moderate alignment, current phase daily. Last bar types — daily 2U (red), weekly 1 (green), monthly 2D (green).

Earnings on file: 2026-04-23. Tiering is unaffected by earnings dates — listings reflect price structure only.

Questions about LMT

What people ask.

Why is LMT on Broken Stocks?

LMT qualifies for the Red List on decline depth. It is down -24.8% from its rolling 252-day high of $692.00, set on 2026-03-02 — 73d ago. It additionally carries a Recovering badge — see below.

What does the Recovering badge mean for LMT?

Recovering means our proprietary engine has flagged a confirmed bullish structural signal on one or more time frames (moderate or strong time-frame continuity). It coexists with the decline tier — LMT is still Red List because the rolling-252-day decline hasn't healed, but a bullish setup has formed inside that decline. The two readings answer different questions: the tier tells you how deep the damage is; the Recovering badge tells you whether momentum may be turning. It's not a buy recommendation.

Is LMT a falling knife?

No. The falling-knife label usually implies a steep, severe drop — typically 30% or more from a fresh high. LMT is down -24.8% from its 52-week high, which qualifies for the Watch tier but is shallower than the falling-knife pattern. It's an early-stage decline rather than a sharp breakdown.

Is LMT a buy?

Broken Stocks does not issue buy or sell recommendations. The list is a rules-based technical warning system. It tracks structural decline depth and recency — not company quality, management, fundamentals, or news. Always do your own research and consult a licensed advisor.

Where is LMT trading inside its 52-week range?

At $520.41, LMT sits 39.1% of the way from its 52-week low ($410.11) to its 52-week high ($692.00). A reading below 25% indicates price is hugging the bottom of the range; above 75%, the top.

How fast has LMT been declining?

The current 24.8% decline accrued over 73d, which annualizes to roughly -124.0% per year. Annualized pace is a sanity check — a 30% decline in three months is a different signal than a 30% decline over two years.

How does LMT compare to its sector?

There are 119 other Industrials tickers on Broken Stocks: 60 Red, 22 Amber, 37 Watch, with 22 showing recovering structural signals. Median sector decline is -32.6% — LMT's decline is shallower than the sector median.

Does LMT's earnings date affect its tier?

No. Tiering is decided purely by decline depth and recency of the rolling-high date. The earnings date on file (2026-04-23) is shown for reference only — listings can move tier between scans based on closing prices, regardless of fundamentals or news events.
