Advisors' Opinion:

• [By Jon C. Ogg]

  Lockheed Martin Corporation (NYSE: LMT) is down 1.5% at $123.25 in late Tuesday trading against a 52-week trading range of $85.88 to $126.73. According to Thomson Reuters, its consensus analyst target is $127.13 and the highest target is $149.00. The issue to consider is that the median price target is actually $125, so the value concern at $123 or $124 is more pressing.

  Lockheed Martin (NYSE: LMT  )
  This defense specialist has managed to boost its dividend at a 25% annual clip over the past decade, currently yielding 4.6%. The stock doesn't come without current risk, though, as the defense contractor's F-35 fighter program has created huge cost overruns, leading to concerns among budget-conscious governments about the long-term viability of the project. Yet even defense-budget cuts didn't stop the company from boosting its payout 15% in November, and Lockheed earns roughly double what it pays out as dividends, giving it a margin of safety against any challenges to earnings.

• [By Tannor Pilatzke]

  How many of the 28 companies had over 15% annual E.P.S growth for the last twenty years? Buffetts wager was that fewer than 10 had done so. I used net income as a proxy for E.P.S.
  
  Lockheed Martin (LMT) had the largest CAGR of the bunch, making the earnings cut with 2 Million 1990 earnings compared to 2.745 Billion in 2013 or 36.29% CAGR over the last 23 years.
