Karman Lands $218M Seven-Year Lockheed Deal for THAAD Shrouds
KRMN sits 17% above its 52-week low of $29.34.
Summary
Karman Space & Defense won a $218M, seven-year agreement with Lockheed Martin to supply THAAD interceptor shrouds. That is roughly 30% of the $1.32B record backlog Karman reported at the end of Q2 2026, and it lands on top of a business already growing revenue 58% year over year. The award is a direct vote of confidence in Karman's defense production capacity from the prime contractor on THAAD, and it extends revenue visibility well into the next decade. Lockheed is the customer here, not the beneficiary — the financial impact is concentrated on Karman. Watch the Q3 report for whether this contract is booked into backlog and how it affects the run-rate estimates management gave for acquired businesses in September.
