$LMT (+2,16%)

The U.S. Navy has awarded Lockheed Martin a $383 million contract to develop the next generation Trident II Strategic Weapons System (SWS) D5 missile to continue the U.S. strategic deterrent at sea.

Under this amendment to an existing contract, Lockheed Martin will develop the upgraded missile, called Trident II D5 Life Extension 2 (D5LE2), the company writes. The integrated, modernized missile will be carried aboard the Columbia-class ballistic missile submarines to keep the strategic weapon system in service until 2084, according to a statement from Lockheed Martin.

"The second life extension of the Trident D5 missile will enable the United States and the United Kingdom to maintain their credibility in deterring evolving threats under the Polaris Distribution Agreement," Jerry Mamrol, Vice President of Fleet Ballistic Missiles at Lockheed Martin, is quoted as saying in the statement

The D5 missile, built and modernized by Lockheed Martin for the Navy, is reportedly the most advanced ballistic missile in the world and is currently aboard the Ohio-class submarines of the United States and the Vanguard-class submarines of the United Kingdom. This year, Lockheed Martin is celebrating 70 years of supporting the Navy in the development and maintenance of missiles that form the backbone of U.S. sea-based deterrence through the company's Fleet Ballistic Missiles (FBM) program.

Lockheed Martin is also beginning construction of an approximately 21,000-square-foot facility in Titusville, Florida, to manufacture components for the D5LE2 submarine-launched ballistic missile. The new facility will expand Lockheed Martin's presence on Florida's Space Coast and is expected to create approximately 300 highly skilled new jobs, according to the company. The facility is expected to be operational in 2027 to meet the Navy's production needs and support the service for the next 60 years, according to the statement.

The first month of the new year is already over. While the first half of January was characterized by Trump euphoria and rising markets, the second half was much more volatile, particularly due to DeepSeek and its impact on the AI sector.

For me personally, the savings rate was unfortunately somewhat lower due to the issue of house building, as already mentioned at the end of 2024. Currently (and probably also for the coming months) it will therefore only be around €500-700.

I am aware that this is of course still a very high savings rate, but it is significantly lower than the ~€2,000 of recent years.

Also very exciting: In November, I withdrew over €20,000 from my custody account to raise the equity for the bank. Just 2 months later, my custody account is back to the same value of almost €300,000.

But now it's finally time to look at the hard figures:

In total, January was +3,9%. This corresponds to price gains of ~11.000€.

The MSCI World (benchmark) was +3.5% and the S&P500 +2.7%

Winners & losers:

A look at the winners and losers shows an unusual picture in January:

The biggest loser by far is NVIDIA! With price losses of almost €3,000, the emergence of DeepSeek caused substantial losses in the portfolio.

The other losers, on the other hand, are only worth a side note. After NVIDIA, Apple has already lost significantly less with ~€400 losses. The remaining loser stocks then only lost around €200.

On the winners' side at the top with a total of almost €2,000 in price gains is the Meta share. Followed by Bitcoin with €1,500 price gains and 2 other tech stocks: Alphabet with €1,200 and Crowdstrike with €1,000. 5th place goes to Starbucks, also with gains of almost €1,000.

The performance-neutral movements were clearly negative in January, as some of the cash was used to buy the property. The property is of course also an asset, but I would rather focus on liquid assets here.

The performance-neutral movements in relation to my portfolio were ~€600

Dividend:

• The dividends in January were 30% above the previous year at ~€166
• TSMC is in the lead with over 30€ (gross) dividend every 3 months.

Buys & Sells:

• I bought in November for significantly reduced ~600€
• As always, my savings plans were executed:
• Blue ChipsMicrosoft $MSFT (-1,57%) Stryker $SYK (-0,56%) Apple $AAPL (+0,26%) Home Depot $HD (-2,25%) Starbucks $SBUX (-0,91%) Texas Instruments $TXN (-0,26%) Nike $NKE (-0,48%) Novo Nordisk $NOVO B (+5,32%) Lockheed Martin $LMT (+2,16%) LVMH $MC (+0,4%)

YouTube:

In mid-January, I uploaded my first video to YouTube. I am particularly proud of a video explaining my dividend strategy. The video has already reached almost 200 views and a playback time of ~10 hours!

Even though I'm still not really sure what exactly I want to do on YouTube, I really enjoy editing videos and talking about shares.

That's why I created my January portfolio update as a video for the first time. Of course I would love to hear your feedback!

Target 2025

Building a house makes it particularly difficult to formulate a goal this year.

A certain savings rate? Difficult if additional costs are suddenly added

A certain deposit value? Also difficult, as I can't really back this up with my savings rate this year.

Nevertheless, I would formulate the following goal for this year:

Current portfolio balance is €300,000. I would estimate additional investments at ~€15,000. With an average market return of ~7%, that would be price gains of ~€21,000.

This would put my portfolio at €330,000 to €340,000 at the end of 2025.

-> I would therefore aim for a portfolio value of well over €300,000, so that a 2% fluctuation does not lead directly back below €300k.

$LMT (+2,16%)

Good day, everyone,

I am currently thinking about selling, I am not so convinced anymore, even if it is a good dividend stock, what is your opinion about Lockheed?

what is a worthy successor in the sector, pretty much the same dividend yield, in your opinion?

I just want to make my decision a little easier.

have a nice day

I have been toying with the idea of selling my $O (+1,37%) as I wanted to focus more on growth rather than dividends.

Now I've taken advantage of the setback at Lockheed and I'm curious to see how the position will develop🦦

$LMT (+2,16%) reported fourth-quarter EPS of $7.67, $1.09 more than analysts' estimate of $6.58

Revenue for the quarter totaled $18.6B, compared to average estimates of $18.84B.

Forecast:

Lockheed Martin expects EPS of $27.00-$27.30 in fiscal 2025. Analysts had expected an average of $27.82.

Lockheed Martin estimates revenue of $73.75B-$74.75B in fiscal 2025. Experts had expected an average of $74.00B.

A lot of time has passed since my introduction over a month ago and the one or other post. I was not satisfied with my smorgasbord and have once again taken a serious and intensive look at the subject of the stock market.

Thoughts, suggestions from some nice people here on GQ and also posts https://getqu.in/WB1phr/ have really helped me here.

Thank you for that. @DonkeyInvestor , @Mister_ultra , @Epi , @Ph1l1pp , @ShrimpTheGimp , @MoneyISnotREAL , @Staatsmann

After the introductory words, now to the presentation of my portfolio.

I have finally decided on a strategy that I find suitable for me. The core-satellite strategy. Investment period 20 years.

I will gradually reallocate my previous investments and save an additional 600 euros per month in the portfolio.

For me, the decisive point here was that I continuously build up the "core" and use the satellites to pursue my "ideas" and also generate dividend income.

The percentage allocation of the investments to my individual satellites was based on the average return over the last 10 years.

Core (60%)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

HSBC MSCI World UCITS ETF - $HMWS (-1,05%) - Share 60.0%

Satellites (40%)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

HSBC MSCI Taiwan Capped UCITS ETF - $HTWN (-0,4%) - Share 4.9%

Xtrackers Euro Stoxx 50 UCITS ETF - $XESX (-0,34%) - Share 2.4%

Invesco Technology S&P US Select Sector UCITS ETF - $XLKS (-2,06%) - Share 7.8%

Xtrackers Artificial Intelligence and Big Data UCITS ETF - $XAIX (-2,35%) - 7,0%

iShares MSCI World Energy Sector ETF - $WENS (-1,71%) - Share 4.2%

Global X Defense Tech UCITS ETF - $ARMG (-0,54%) - Share 3.6%

EUWAX Gold II - $EWG2 (+0%) - Share 3.0%

Bitwise MSCI Digital Assets Select 20 ETP - $DA20 (-3,32%) - Share 7.0%

Notes on the satellites:

An MSCI Emerging Markets would be a suitable addition to the core MSCI World. As most emerging markets ETFs rate China quite highly, but I am not convinced of this, I have picked Taiwan and chosen the MSCI index there. $HTWN (-0,4%)

Technology $XLKS (-2,06%) and AI $XAIX (-2,35%) are still markets which, in my opinion, have a lot of potential. These two areas are also the reason why I invest in energy $WENS (-1,71%) because the energy demand for AI, cloud, etc. is high.

I still see defense as a trend and have finally opted for the Global X Defense Tech $ARMG (-0,54%) final decision. In my previous post on this, I was more interested in the HANetf Future of Defense $ASWC (-2,25%) . As the European investment volume of the two ETFs (HanETF = 29.38%, Global X = 28.08%) is almost the same, but the Global X $ARMG (-0,54%) invests more in the market leaders (Lockheed $LMT (+2,16%) Northrop $NOC (+2,66%)General Dynamics $GD (-0,57%) etc.), it has now been included in the final selection.

I cover the currency sector with EUWAX Gold II $EWG2 (+0%) and Bitwise MSCI Digital Assets Select 20 $DA20 (-3,32%) . As you have seen from my previous posts, I am reluctant to invest in crypto. That's why it's "only" the Bitwise MSCI Digital Assets Select 20 ETP. This ETP tracks the 20 leading investable crypto assets and is therefore effectively the "MSCI World" for the crypto market.

PS: I have adjusted the crypto ETP slightly downwards in the percentage distribution with a minus of 50%.

downwards. If anyone actually looks at the table, -50% in 2022 is inserted by MIR for regulatory purposes 😉

I look forward to your feedback.

Best regards

Daniel
