Lockheed Seen Signing $4 Bil Deal
For More F-35s
Lockheed Martin
(NYSE:LMT) reached a deal with the Pentagon Thursday for an eighth
batch of F-35 fighters, sources told Reuters.
The pact, worth about
$4 billion, is for 43 more jets. The new contract will
lower the cost of the stealth warplane by about 3% and includes
jets to be built for the U.S. military, Britain and other U.S.
allies.
Last week, United Technologies'
(NYSE:UTX) Pratt & Whitney division — which makes the engines
for the F-35 — signed a deal with the Pentagon to provide a seventh
batch of F135 engines.
In September, Pratt & Whitney said
that the seventh and eighth engine batches are expected to be 7%-8%
cheaper than the prior batch.
Also last month, Lockheed said that it
expects per-unit costs for the F-35 to fall to $80 million-$85
million by 2019, down from the current unit cost of
$115 million.
Lockheed shares ticked up 0.6% after
hours.
The Aerospace/Defense group is ranked
No. 79 out of the 197 industry groups that IBD tracks.
