Comparison with peers
Northrop Grumman: up 1.25 percent, price-to-earnings ratio 17.62, market capitalization USD 79.3 billion.
Lockheed Martin (NYSE, USD): up 3.25 percent, price-to-earnings ratio 22.16, market capitalization USD 144.1 billion.

What matters for the stock
The latest figures combine 7.00 percent sales growth with a 15.00 percent backlog increase and higher full-year adjusted earnings guidance. Investors are therefore weighing stronger contract coverage against the lower quarterly operating margin and the wide gap between the USD 675 Baird target and the current US quotation.
