Defense Sector: Overbought or Resilient?

Northrop Grumman is poised to benefit from rising global defense spending, driven by geopolitical instability and increased military budgets in NATO countries. NOC's strong Q2 results, including a 7% revenue increase and 80% growth in free cash flow, highlight its robust financial performance. The company's expanding order book and potential strategic acquisitions in cybersecurity and space position it for sustained revenue and profit growth.

Growing Cash Flows, Strong Defense Demand Position Northrop Grumman For Long-Term Success

We believe that Northrop Grumman stock is currently a better pick than its industry peer – Lockheed Martin stock (NYSE: LMT), given its better valuation and robust prospects. NOC stock trades at a slightly higher multiple of 1.9x trailing revenues, versus 1.7x for LMT.

Should You Pick Northrop Grumman Over Lockheed Martin?

Northrop Grumman Q2 earnings show modest margin expansion, with 10% revenue growth and 5% segment operating income growth.
