Income Statement Key Figures

Revenue and Revenue Growth

Revenue is the starting point of every income statement — it measures the total sales Northrop Grumman generates from its core business. Revenue growth (expressed as year-over-year percentage change) is one of the most important indicators of business momentum. Sustained growth above 10 % annually is generally considered strong, while declining revenue is a serious warning sign that demands investigation.

Gross Margin

Gross margin = (Revenue − Cost of Goods Sold) ÷ Revenue. It reveals what percentage of each dollar of revenue Northrop Grumman retains after direct production costs. High gross margins (above 50 %) are typical of asset-light businesses like software and brands, while capital-intensive industries like manufacturing often operate below 30 %. Compare Northrop Grumman's gross margin to industry peers and track it over time to spot improving or deteriorating pricing power.

EBIT and EBIT Margin

EBIT measures operating profit — what remains after subtracting all operating expenses (including R&D, sales, and administrative costs) from gross profit. The EBIT margin shows this as a percentage of revenue. Because it excludes interest and taxes, EBIT allows fair comparisons between companies with different debt levels and tax jurisdictions. A rising EBIT margin indicates improving operational efficiency.

Net Income and Earnings Per Share (EPS)

Net income is the company's final profit after all expenses, interest, and taxes. Dividing net income by the number of shares outstanding gives you EPS — the single most influential metric in stock valuation. Consistent EPS growth is the primary driver of long-term stock price appreciation. Always check whether EPS growth comes from genuine profit improvement or from share buybacks reducing the share count.

Shares Outstanding

The total number of shares Northrop Grumman has issued. A declining share count (through buybacks) boosts EPS and signals management confidence. A rising share count (through stock issuance) dilutes existing shareholders. Always monitor this number alongside EPS to get the full picture of per-share value creation.

Analyst Estimates

The projected figures represent consensus estimates from professional analysts. Compare these forecasts against Northrop Grumman's historical growth rates to assess whether expectations are realistic. A company that consistently beats consensus estimates tends to see its stock price rewarded over time, while repeated misses erode investor confidence.

Northrop Grumman stock margins

The Northrop Grumman margin analysis displays the gross margin, EBIT margin, as well as the profit margin of Northrop Grumman. The EBIT margin (EBIT/sales) indicates the percentage of sales that remains as operating profit. The profit margin shows the percentage of sales that remains for Northrop Grumman.

Lastly, Northrop Grumman Corp has a strong network of partnerships and collaborations, both within the industry and with government entities. This helps the company access valuable resources, expand its reach, and stay ahead of competitors.

Weaknesses

Despite its strengths, Northrop Grumman Corp also faces certain weaknesses that could potentially hinder its growth and performance. One weakness is the company's dependence on government contracts for a significant portion of its revenue. This makes Northrop Grumman Corp vulnerable to changes in government spending priorities or budget cuts. Additionally, the nature of the defense industry introduces regulatory challenges and compliance requirements for Northrop Grumman Corp. Adhering to these regulations can be costly and time-consuming, potentially impacting the company's operational efficiency. Another weakness is the potential for cost overruns and delays on large-scale projects. The complexity of these projects, coupled with evolving customer requirements and technological advancements, increases the risk of unforeseen challenges that could lead to higher costs and project delays.

Opportunities

Northrop Grumman Corp has identified various opportunities that it can capitalize on to drive future growth. Firstly, the increasing global demand for advanced defense technologies presents the company with opportunities to expand its market share and secure new contracts. Furthermore, the growing interest in autonomous systems and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) provides Northrop Grumman Corp with avenues to develop and offer innovative solutions in this emerging market. As the demand for these technologies continues to rise, the company can leverage its expertise to gain a competitive edge. Additionally, Northrop Grumman Corp can seize opportunities through strategic partnerships and collaborations. By partnering with other industry leaders, the company can access new technologies, enhance its product offerings, and enter new markets. Lastly, the increasing focus on cybersecurity creates opportunities for Northrop Grumman Corp to offer advanced solutions to protect critical infrastructure and combat cyber threats. The company's expertise in this area positions it well to capitalize on the growing demand for secure and resilient systems.

Threats

Northrop Grumman Corp faces several threats that could impact its business and profitability. One major threat is intense competition within the aerospace and defense industry. The company competes with other major players, both domestic and international, for contracts and customers, which can put pressure on pricing and profit margins. Additionally, changes in government policies, regulations, and defense spending priorities pose a threat to Northrop Grumman Corp. Shifting geopolitical landscapes and budget constraints can impact the company's ability to secure contracts and maintain a stable revenue stream. Another potential threat is the rapid advancement of technology, which can quickly render existing products and solutions obsolete. To stay competitive, Northrop Grumman Corp must continuously invest in research and development to keep pace with emerging technologies and evolving customer needs. Lastly, economic downturns and global crises can negatively impact defense spending and demand for the company's products and services. This vulnerability to macroeconomic factors poses a threat to Northrop Grumman Corp's financial performance.

Northrop Grumman Eulerpool Fair Value

Fair Value Estimate

What Is Fair Value?

Fair value is an estimate of what a stock is truly "worth" based on its financial fundamentals, independent of the current market price. If the calculated fair value is above the current share price, the stock may be undervalued — and vice versa. This chart shows three different fair value approaches so you can cross-check them against each other.

Earnings-Based Fair Value

Calculated by multiplying the current earnings per share (EPS) by the average historical P/E ratio over a selected multi-year period. The smoothing over several years filters out temporary spikes or dips. If this fair value exceeds the market price, it suggests the stock is cheap relative to its earning power.

Example: Fair Value (Earnings) 2022 = EPS 2022 × Average P/E 2019–2021

Revenue-Based Fair Value

Derived by multiplying revenue per share by the average historical price-to-sales ratio. This method is particularly useful for companies with volatile or temporarily depressed earnings, as revenue tends to be more stable than profits. It answers: "At what price has the market historically valued each dollar of this company's sales?"

Example: Fair Value (Revenue) 2022 = Revenue per Share 2022 × Average P/S 2019–2021

Dividend-Based Fair Value

Calculated by dividing the dividend per share by the average historical dividend yield. This approach is most relevant for mature, consistently dividend-paying companies. If the resulting fair value is higher than the current price, it implies the stock offers a better yield than its historical average.

Example: Fair Value (Dividend) 2022 = Dividend per Share 2022 ÷ Average Yield 2019–2021

How to Use This Chart

When all three fair value lines converge above the current price, it strengthens the case that the stock is undervalued. When they diverge, investigate why — it may indicate a structural shift in margins, payout policy, or growth rate. The forward estimates on the right extend the analysis using projected fundamentals, helping you assess whether the current price already reflects future growth expectations.

Northrop Grumman annual returns

Details

Annual Return

What This Chart Shows

This chart breaks down 's total annual return into two components: price return (gains or losses from stock price movement) and dividend return (income received from dividend payments). Together, they represent the total return an investor would have earned in each calendar year.

Price Return

Price return measures the percentage change in 's stock price from January 1st to December 31st of each year. Positive bars indicate the stock appreciated; negative bars show a decline. This is the component most investors focus on, but it tells only part of the story — especially for dividend-paying stocks.

Dividend Return

Dividend return represents the income generated from dividends paid during the year, expressed as a percentage of the starting stock price. While it may seem small in any single year (typically 1–4 % for established companies), dividends compound significantly over decades and have historically contributed roughly 40 % of total stock market returns.

What to Look For

Examine how many years showed positive vs. negative returns to gauge consistency. A stock with mostly positive years and small drawdowns suggests lower risk. Also compare 's annual returns to a benchmark index — consistently outperforming the market is a hallmark of a strong investment. Pay attention to the worst years: understanding downside risk is just as important as chasing upside potential.
