Better Buy: Lockheed Martin vs. Raytheon Technologies
The defense sector hadn't seen a megamerger since the 1990s, but that all changed last month when the aerospace arm of United Technologies combined with Raytheon to form Raytheon Technologies. The deal vaulted the new company above industry leader Lockheed Martin in terms of revenue, creating a new heavyweight in the aerospace world. Lockheed Martin stock in recent years has been a standout performer among defense primes, and bigger does not always mean better.
