Lockheed Martin (LMT) bought back no shares in the nine months to September 27, according to its third-quarter 2026 report on Form 10-Q filed October 22. In the same period a year earlier it paid $2.25 billion for 5.0 million shares.
In plain terms
Lockheed Martin did not buy back any of its own shares this year through September. In the same months last year it spent $2.25 billion doing so. It is still paying dividends to shareholders, and it raised the year-end dividend slightly.
