What the Analysts think about Northrop Grumman
Analyst ratings (Buy, Hold, Sell) for Northrop Grumman stock.
Analyst projections of the future price of Northrop Grumman stock.
Bulls say / Bears say
Third-quarter sales rose 7%, and Northrop raised its 2026 adjusted EPS outlook to $29.35–$29.75 from $28.60–$29.10. That stronger earnings outlook supports the case for continued growth. (Northrop Grumman)
A record $109.6 billion backlog and a 1.5-times book-to-bill ratio show that new awards are running ahead of sales, giving the business a substantial pipeline of future work. (Northrop Grumman)
The US Air Force and Northrop have begun building a new final-assembly line to raise B-21 production capacity by 25%. Faster production and the planned 2027 arrival of aircraft at an operational base could support a long runway of programme work. (US Air Force)
Total operating margin narrowed to 11.4% from 11.9%, while operating income grew only 2% against 7% sales growth. That weaker profit conversion could limit the benefit of rising revenue. (Northrop Grumman)
Cost increases on the GEM 63XL motor and SiAW missile programme led to adverse adjustments in the second quarter. GEM 63XL also required a redesign after a launch anomaly, leaving execution and qualification risks to resolve. (Defense Daily, Northrop Grumman)
Northrop plans to put $2.5 billion of its own money into accelerating B-21 production, with most spending on facilities in 2027–2029. That large investment could weigh on cash generation before the higher production rate delivers returns. (Breaking Defense)
