Lockheed Martin Reaffirms 2025 Outlook
Image: Lockheed Martin’s shares have been on a wild ride the past few years. During the first quarter, Lockheed paid cash dividends of $796 million while it repurchased 1.7 million shares for $750 million. Looking to all of 2025, management expects sales in the range of $73.75-$74.75 billion, business segment operating profit of $8.1-$8.2 billion, and diluted earnings per share of $27.00-$27.30. For 2025, cash flow from operations is targeted at $8.5-$8.7 billion with capital spending expected at $1.9 billion, resulting in free cash flow in the range of $6.6-$6.8 billion for the year. We continue to like Lockheed Martin as a core idea in the simulated Dividend Growth Newsletter portfolio. Shares yield 2.9% at the time of this writing. Apr 22, 2025
Netflix’s Operating Margin Continues to Delight
Image: Netflix has a long runway of growth given market share opportunities. Looking to the second quarter, Netflix expects revenue growth of 15.4% (17% on a foreign exchange neutral basis) as the company benefits from recent price changes and ongoing strength in membership and advertising sales. The company expects an operating margin of 33.3% in the quarter, roughly 6 percentage points better on a year-over-year basis. Netflix continues to expect 2025 revenue in the range of $43.5-$44.5 billion and an operating margin of 29% based on foreign exchange rate levels at the start of the year. We like Netflx’s market share growth opportunities and view shares as relatively immune to tariff pressures and broader macroeconomic uncertainty. Our fair value estimate stands at $1,060 per share.

UnitedHealth Group Lowers 2025 Outlook
Image: UnitedHealth’s shares were pummeled after it lowered its 2025 earnings outlook. During the first quarter of 2025, UnitedHealth Group’s cash flow from operations came in at $5.5 billion, and the firm returned nearly $5 billion to shareholders through dividends and share repurchases during the quarter. As it relates to the drivers negatively impacting its 2025 guidance, management noted that it “believes these factors to be highly addressable over the course of this year as well as it looks ahead to 2026.” Though we didn’t like the downward revision to its 2025 earnings outlook, UnitedHealth remains a cash cow, and we continue to like shares in the Best Ideas Newsletter portfolio. We value shares north of $600 each. Apr 11, 2025

Trump Tariffs Higher than Expected; What We're Doing
The Trump tariff increases came in larger than what we were expecting, and it remains to be seen how they will flow through the global economy, as we monitor potential retaliatory tariffs from other countries. As it relates to the equity markets, we’re taking a wait and see approach at the moment as we monitor new policy changes related to trade, immigration, fiscal (tax), and regulations. In short, we’re not overreacting to the sell off as we won’t have a great handle on the tariff impact to companies for a few quarters when they report results post-tariff increases. That said, we’re expecting continued market volatility, with meaningful risk to the downside, before trade uncertainty alleviates in the coming months. Apr 4, 2025
