Earnings are back in focus on Thursday, with a Benzinga-selected watchlist that spans defense, wireless, life sciences, gold mining and semiconductors. With guidance and segment commentary often moving stocks as much as the headline numbers, options markets are already laying down a roadmap for how volatile each print could be, according to Benzinga Pro.
The marquee name on this list is Intel, but the biggest implied swing is saved for the final section as the countdown runs from the calmest setup to the most volatile.
5. Lockheed Martin Corp. | Mkt Cap: $117B | Implied Move: 4.64%
Lockheed Martin Corp. (NYSE:LMT) reports second quarter of 2026 results before the opening bell. Wall Street is looking for $7.23 in earnings per share on $19.37 billion in revenue, compared with $7.29 on $18.16 billion a year ago.
Benzinga Pro data show options are pricing in a 4.64% move around the report. On a $117 billion market cap, that implies about $5.43 billion of market value at stake as investors weigh defense demand and program execution.
