Stock Track11-18

Shares of Elbit Systems Ltd (ESLT) jumped 5.16% in pre-market trading on Tuesday following the release of its impressive third-quarter 2025 financial results. The Israeli defense technology company reported earnings that significantly exceeded analyst expectations, despite a slight miss on revenue projections.

Elbit Systems posted adjusted earnings per share of $3.35, surpassing the analyst consensus estimate of $2.78 by 20.68%. This represents a substantial 51.58% increase from the $2.21 per share reported in the same quarter last year. The company's quarterly revenue reached $1.922 billion, up 11.85% year-over-year, although slightly below the anticipated $2.017 billion.

Investors appear particularly encouraged by Elbit's record-breaking order backlog, which hit $25.2 billion at the end of the quarter. This robust backlog, driven largely by new European orders, provides strong visibility for future growth. The company also reported increased demand for its products and solutions from the Israel Ministry of Defense, attributed to ongoing conflicts in the Middle East. Additionally, Elbit's Board of Directors declared a dividend of $0.75 per share, further boosting shareholder confidence. With these positive indicators and the company's strategic positioning in the defense sector, the market's enthusiastic response in pre-market trading suggests optimism about Elbit Systems' future performance and growth prospects.
