On October 23, Northrop Grumman saw an Intraday Rise of 3.09% in Regular Trading, with shares trading at $555.98 and turnover reaching $346 million.
The move followed a wave of post-earnings analyst updates after the company reported third-quarter adjusted EPS of $7.89, above the $7.18 consensus estimate, and raised full-year adjusted EPS guidance to $29.35-$29.75 from a market expectation of $28.93.
Recent follow-up revisions reinforced that backdrop: Baird upgraded the stock to Outperform with a $675 price target on October 21, while Barclays on October 22 lifted its target to $430 from $419. The company also guided for full-year sales of $43.75 billion-$44.25 billion, versus a $44.07 billion consensus, while management pointed to next-year sales growth of 5% to 7%.
