Palantir vs. Lockheed Martin: Which is the smarter defense play for the next five years? Palantir, the AI powerhouse, has surged past Lockheed in market value, fueled by explosive growth in data-driven military tech like its Maven system for NATO. Its earnings are projected to soar, and its commercial expansion is accelerating — but at a steep price: investors are betting big on relentless, perfect growth, making it volatile if momentum falters. Lockheed, the traditional defense titan, trades at a much lower multiple, pays a dividend, and boasts a massive, secure order backlog from the F-35 and missile defense. With global defense spending rising, it offers steady, government-backed returns. For risk-adjusted gains now, Lockheed looks like the safer, smarter bet — unless you’re willing to gamble on AI’s dominance and Palantir’s runaway growth.
