Executive Summary
Lockheed Martin secures a $353.8M sole-source NASA contract for Hubble Space Telescope operations through June 2026, providing strong revenue visibility in engineering services. High subawards of $750.5M across 82 recipients erode prime margins, while absence of follow-on plans signals potential revenue cliff post-2026. Investors should monitor option exercises worth $12.3M and HST mission extensions for upside.
