  • Lockheed Martin’s raised outlook and record backlog helped lift defense peers, though no specific overnight catalyst clearly explains ARKX’s full pre-market gain.
  • Industrials were mixed: Graco reported weaker-than-expected results, while higher Treasury yields and oil-related geopolitical concerns remained headwinds.
  • Consumer sentiment is due at 10:00 a.m. ET.
