Lockheed's F-35 Isn't Stealthy Enough To Avoid Trump's Latest Attack

Investors.Com JASON MA, 2016-12-12 11:54 AM ET

Lockheed Martin (LMT) became the latest company to come under attack by President-elect Donald Trump, who criticized the defense giant's F-35 stealth fighter program for having "out of control" costs.

It came a week after he vowed to cancel Boeing's (BA) Air Force One replacement planes, citing the cost.

The cost to develop and build the F-35 is about $400 billion, and the program is perennially under fire for cost overruns and delays. The Pentagon is buying more than 2,400 F-35s for the Air Fore, Navy and Marine Corps, and U.S. allies will buy hundreds more.

In a tweet Monday, Trump was hammered to program for escalating expenses.

In an appearance on Fox News Sunday, Trump reiterated his attack on Boeing and said the F-35's cost is "out of control."

"We welcome the opportunity to address any questions the president-elect has about the program," said Jeff Babione, Lockheed's F-35 general manager, on Monday.

TRUMP is part of the uncertainty making the market “skittish.”

He added that the company has reduced the price by more than 70% and predicted it will reach $85 million per plane by 2019-2020. In addition to the acquisition cost, Lockheed is also working on reducing the F-35's operating and sustainment costs, he said.

Shares of Lockheed tumbled 5% to 246.22 in midday trading on the stock market today, diving below their 50-day average. Northrop Grumman (NOC), which is a major subcontractor on the F-35, was down 4.3%, also tumbling through its 50-day line. United Technologies (UTX), whose Pratt & Whitney unit makes the F-35's engines, reversed earlier losses to edge up 0.1%. Boeing seesawed between gains and losses and was down 0.2%.



Last Wednesday, Cowen & Co. warned that while Trump's Air Force One criticism likely won't hurt Boeing much, his habit of using Twitter (TWTR) as a bully pulpit could pose a bigger risk for Lockheed and Northrop.

"This is in line with his campaign comment that he wants to boost defense spending but feels DoD could 'buy smarter,' " Cowen said. "Presumably he won't comment on all defense contracts but will focus on high profile programs. However, given his power as president, this can have an impact on specific programs."

But even if Trump restricts himself to a "bombastic Twitter shoutout," a tougher stance could still affect defense stocks, Cowen added.

Among other defense giants, Raytheon (RTN) was down 3% Monday, trying to regain support at its 50-day. General Dynamics (GD) fell 2.3%.

Trump has already taken on Ford (F) and United Tech's Carrier unit for moving production to Mexico. And on Wednesday, he is due to meet executives from Apple (AAPL), Facebook (FB), Alphabet (GOOGL) and Tesla (TSLA), among other tech leaders, in New York.

The tech industry largely supported Hillary Clinton in the election, and Trump has attacked the sector for relying on overseas production.

'Adjusting To The Trump Era': Fed Raises Interest Rates By 25 Basis Points, Sees 3 Hikes In 2017

Following a two-day meeting, the U.S. Federal Reserve announced Wednesday it has decided to raise its benchmark short-term interest rate by 0.25 percent, effective Thursday, after one year with no changes. [And ten years after a second change]

The decision was unanimous, as Federal Open Market Committee officials cited “realized and expected [strong] labor market conditions and inflation.”

The document indicated that Fed officials … expect to boost interest rates by 0.75 percent next year, through three separate 0.25 percent hikes, reaching 1.4 percent by the end of the year. …

The Fed now envisions a rate of 2.1 percent by the end of 2018, and a 2.9 percent rate by year-end 2019.

Moreover, the group updated its economic growth projections for 2016 and 2016, boosting them slightly, to 1.9 percent and 2.1 percent, respectively. The inflation estimate was also raised, from 1.3 percent in September, to 1.5 percent in the current report.

It's expected that inflation hits 1.9 percent in 2017, reaching the target of 2 percent by 2018.

After the announcement, RSM Chief Economist Joe Brusuelas commented, “[The] Fed took [the] first tentative steps of adjusting policy to the Trump era by signaling a quicker pace of rate hikes in 2017. …”
