Shares of Elbit Systems on Tuesday rose after the company logged a jump in profit in the third quarter, after seeing growth across all regions.
The stock was up 6.4% to $250.20 in morning trading. Shares have jumped 23% over the past 12 months.
The high technology defense company posted a net income of $79.1 million, or $1.77 a share, compared with $60.7 million, or $1.36 a share, for the same period a year earlier.
Revenue rose to $1.72 billion, up from $1.5 billion in the prior-year quarter.
Chief Executive Bezhalel Machlis said the results were marked by substantial growth across key performance measures exceeding its internal goals.
"The company's order backlog, which hit a record high of over $22 billion, provides stability and resilience for the Company for years to come, as our investments in research and development create strong foundations for long-term growth and development," Machlis said.
