Q2 revenue reaches USD 10.88 billion

The quarterly result combined sales growth with an earnings beat. Diluted EPS came in at USD 7.68, compared with the USD 6.82 consensus estimate, a difference of USD 0.86.

MarketBeat reported that revenue reached USD 10.88 billion in the quarter and that EPS exceeded consensus by USD 0.86. The comparison is important because the prior-year quarter produced EPS of USD 8.15, placing the current result 5.77 percent lower despite higher sales.

Fiscal guidance stays at USD 28.60 to USD 29.10

Northrop Grumman reaffirmed fiscal 2026 diluted EPS guidance of USD 28.60 to USD 29.10, according to MarketBeat. The midpoint of that range is USD 28.85, so the Q2 annualized EPS figure is not a substitute for management guidance.

A separate program milestone adds operational context. On September 14, 2026, Northrop Grumman and the U.S. Air Force fully assembled the Sentinel missile in its operational orientation, as MarketScreener reported. The event links the company to a major modernization program while the earnings data show pressure on per-share profit.
