Elbit Systems Poised to Benefit From Rising Global Defense Spending, Morgan Stanley Says

MT Newswires Live12-12

Elbit Systems' (ESLT) broad capability and exposure to high-growth markets position it to benefit from rising global defense spending, Morgan Stanley said in a Thursday note.

The company's "diversified portfolio of battle-tested" offerings provides a solid "proof-point" for clients on product effectiveness, the firm said. It is likely to play an impactful role in Europe's Readiness 2030 initiatives, according to the note.

Elbit's roughly $25.2 billion backlog position at the end of Q3 offers visibility into the company's revenue growth, analysts wrote.

The company also has margin expansion opportunities based on a combination of economies of scale as it continues to ramp its topline, mix shift from growth in high-margin segments, and operational excellence measures, the brokerage stated.

Morgan Stanley said it expects adjusted earnings per share of $12.63, $14.05, and $15.80 in 2025, 2026, and 2027, respectively, for Elbit.

The brokerage said it initiated coverage of the stock with an equalweight rating and a price target of $531 per share.
