Top Analyst Sees a ‘Compelling Entry Point’ in These 2 Aerospace & Defense Stocks
Bulls Say, Bears Say
Bulls Say
Defense SpendingAnalyst believes DOGE related fears are overblown, as the threat level remains elevated and U.S. Defense/NATO defense spending will continue to rise.
Financial PerformanceNOC raised 2024 EPS guidance by ~$0.75, driven by stronger margin expectations at Aeronautics and Space Systems and a mix of non-operating items.
Program Stability And GrowthNOC's anchor nuclear triad B-21 Raider and Sentinel GBSD programs will provide stability and growth, augmented by robust missile/munition demands.
Bears Say
Defense Budget And SpendingPotential U.S. defense budget cuts or curtailments, and competitive threats from new industry entrants pose downside risks to the rating and price target.
Financial PerformanceOperating cash flow was reported below consensus by 18.7%.
Sales And RevenueSpace Systems faced a significant sales drag from fading contracts, which is expected to continue affecting sales negatively in the near future.
