Lockheed Martin Corp. (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/lmt#NYSE">LMT</a>) announced that its board of directors approved a 4.8% hike in its quarterly dividend to $3.30 per share, marking the 22nd consecutive annual dividend hike. The revised quarterly dividend is payable on Dec. 27, 2024, to shareholders of record at the close of the business on Dec. 2, 2024.
The company&#39;s new annualized dividend rate is $13.20. The current dividend yield is 2.08%, better than the Zacks S&amp;P 500 composite&#39;s 1.24%.
Along with dividend payments, Lockheed&#39;s management continues to increase shareholder value by repurchasing shares. The board authorized an additional $3 billion for share repurchases, which resulted in a total authorization under the repurchase program of nearly $10 billion.
<h2>Can Lockheed Sustain Dividend Hikes?</h2>
Lockheed has a platform-centric focus and leveraged presence in the Army, Air Force, Navy and IT programs of the U.S. Department of Defense that guarantee a steady inflow of follow-on orders. The company continues to clinch big defense deals from the U.S. government and allied countries. As a consequence, it exited the second quarter of 2024 with a record backlog of $158.3 billion, backed by increasing demand and a rising global defense budget. This shall boost LMT&#39;s sales growth and cash flow in the coming quarters.
Apart from domestic orders, the company also enjoys the advantage of having a wide international customer base. In the second quarter of 2024, 25.8% of total net sales were from international customers. The company is focused on expanding its international footprint, which continues to support earnings.
Lockheed Martin is the largest U.S. defense contractor with a platform-centric focus that guarantees a steady inflow of follow-on orders from its leveraged presence in the Army, Air Force, Navy and IT programs. The F-35 program continues to be a key growth program for Lockheed. The production of F-35 jets is expected to continue for many years ahead, given the U.S. government&#39;s current inventory target of 2,456 aircraft for the Air Force, Marine Corps and Navy. This will support its top line and boost its earnings.
Courtesy of Lockheed&#39;s global presence, strong backlog, F-35 program and contract wins, the company continues to generate strong operating cash flow, which provides assurance that it will be able to sustain shareholder-friendly moves in the future as well.

Curtiss-Wright's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CW#NYSE">CW</a>) short percent of float has fallen 26.51% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 207 thousand shares sold short, which is 0.61% of all regular shares that are available for trading.

<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

<h3>Curtiss-Wright Short Interest Graph (3 Months)</h3>
<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2024/1727466322_0.png" alt="short_fig" />
As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Curtiss-Wright has declined since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to rise in the near-term but traders should be aware that less shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing Curtiss-Wright's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Curtiss-Wright's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 3.21%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.

West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude oil futures, closely followed by the United States Oil Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/USO#NYSE">USO</a>), surged 3.6% to close at $79.60 per barrel on Monday amid rising tensions <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/middle-east">in the Middle East. </a>
This marked the fifth consecutive day of gains and the second-strongest one-day surge year-to-date as the prospect of a war between Israel and Iran has stoked fears of significant disruptions to global oil supplies.
The tensions have been exacerbated by reports that Iran, along with its Lebanese proxy Hezbollah, is considering retaliatory action against Israel following the death of Ismail Haniyeh, a top Hamas leader, in Tehran on July 31.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">US Military Moves To Reinforce Middle East Presence</h3>
In response to the rising risk of a broader regional conflict, the Pentagon has significantly ramped up its military presence in the region. On Monday, <a href="https://edition.cnn.com/2024/08/11/politics/defense-secretary-strike-group-iran/index.html">CNN</a> reported that U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin ordered the deployment of a carrier strike group equipped with F-35 jets and additional forces to deter potential Iranian aggression toward Israel.
On Sunday, the Pentagon disclosed that it had ordered the nuclear-powered submarine USS Georgia, armed with cruise missiles, into Middle Eastern waters. 
The USS Georgia had recently been operating in the Mediterranean Sea, completing training exercises near Italy. The movement of U.S. missile submarines is typically shrouded in secrecy.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Escalating Violence In Gaza</h3>
The situation in Gaza remains dire. On Saturday, Israeli airstrikes targeted a school building in Gaza City, killing hundreds of people, according to Palestinian health authorities.
The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) on its official account on X said the building housed 31 terrorist from Hamas and Islamic Jihad.
LTG Herzi Halevi, IDF chief of the general staff, stressed the importance of maintaining a high level of preparedness for both offensive and defensive operations. 
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">US Defense Stocks Moving On Monday</h3>
Despite the escalating tensions, U.S. defense stocks, tracked by the iShares U.S. Aerospace &amp; Defense ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ITA#NYSE">ITA</a>), closed relatively flat on Monday, but are trading around 3% below record highs.
