Biggest thing to watch: the price is not yet in a clear uptrend, so timing is the risk more than the business. ## What is the Northrop Grumman share price today? Northrop Grumman Corporation's share price was $550.30 at the close on 3 November 2026. It has been falling for 3 weeks. That is 6.7% below its average price over the last 200 trading days. In the last 52 weeks it traded between $478 and $756, and at that close it sat 26% of the way up from that low. Over the past 13 weeks it has done worse than the S&P 500, and it has been behind for 1 week running. Over the last 10 years the share price moved +148% while the S&P 500 moved +255%, so it is behind the index over that whole period. It was last ahead over 13 weeks in the week of 30 October 2026. The chart above shows the 13-week comparison for every week. This page treats a rise as over when the price closes below its 200-day average on two Fridays in a row. ## What dividend does Northrop Grumman pay?

## Is Northrop Grumman profitable? Northrop Grumman Corporation earned $1.1 B of net profit in the Sep 2026 quarter, +2.2% on the same quarter a year earlier. Full-year FY25 profit was $4.2 B. Over 4 years profit has grown −12.1% a year on average. That is 10.1% of the quarter's revenue. The same quarter a year earlier earned $1.1 B. 1 of the last 12 reported quarters were loss-making. For the full year, FY25 profit was $4.2 B (+0.2% on the year before). Why profit moved: revenue changed +6.7% on a year earlier and the margin moved −0.3 percentage points. Sales did the work, and the margin was about flat. On average over the last four quarters, profit changed +22.6% and revenue +6.5%. Profit is growing faster than sales: fixed costs are spread over more sales, so each extra dollar of revenue adds more to profit. ## How much revenue does Northrop Grumman make, and is it growing? Northrop Grumman Corporation reported $11.1 B of revenue in the Sep 2026 quarter, +6.7% on the same quarter a year earlier. That is the 6th quarter in a row with growth on the year before. Over 4 years it has grown 4.1% a year on average. The last full year, FY25, came in at $42.0 B. The last four reported quarters add to $43.6 B. FY25 revenue was $42.0 B, +2.2% on the year before. Recent pace: the last four quarters grew +6.5% on average, against 4.1% a year over the longer run, so this year is growing faster than its own long-run rate. Is growth speeding up? Revenue over the last 12 months grew +6.5%, against +3.1% a year over the last 8 quarters (accelerating); profit over the last 12 months grew +12.5%, against +38.0% a year (rolling over). ## How much of every $100 of sales does Northrop Grumman keep? Northrop Grumman Corporation's operating margin was 12.9% in the Sep 2026 quarter, 0.3 percentage points lower than the same quarter a year ago. Across 5 years it has been between 6.7% and 21.0%. The latest quarter is within that range. Why the margin moved: operating margin changed −0.3 percentage points on the year while gross margin changed −0.3 points. So the drop came mostly from the gross margin, which means input costs and prices charged. ## Is Northrop Grumman's profit turning into cash? Over the last 3 years, 125% of Northrop Grumman Corporation's reported profit came in as cash from its operations, so the profit is backed by cash. In FY25 it brought in $4.8 B of operating cash against $4.2 B of profit. After $1.4 B of spending on assets, $3.3 B was left over as free cash. Cash-flow figures here are yearly, because quarterly cash statements are not published, so this section changes once a year. Why: the cash figure is clear, but the day counts behind it are not in our data, so we show it without guessing the reason. What to look at next: the main use of cash is spending on assets. The next section checks what that spending is building. ## Where does Northrop Grumman's cash go? Northrop Grumman Corporation does not report the customer, stock and supplier day counts a cash cycle needs, so this section looks at its spending on assets instead. It spent $5.0 B on assets over the last 3 years. Averaged over those years that is 4.0% of FY25 revenue a year. Nothing is estimated in place of the missing day counts, so no cash-cycle chart is drawn. Spending on assets: $5.0 B over the last 3 years. In short: the cash is going into new capacity, not getting stuck in the daily cycle. The question is whether the new capacity earns. ## What is Northrop Grumman's P/E ratio, and how does it compare with its own history? Northrop Grumman Corporation's P/E is 17.4×, in the middle of its own history: higher than 50% of past readings. Its usual P/E (the middle reading) is 17.3×, over 4.6 years of weekly prices. This compares the share price with the company’s own past. It does not say what the business is worth. Why the multiple is where it is: over the past year earnings per share moved +2.6% while the price moved −5.7%. Earnings did better than the price, which pulled the multiple down within its own range. Where the price move came from: over 3 years the price moved +5.4% a year; about +1.3% a year came from earnings growth and about +4.1 percentage points from the multiple (the market paying more). The split is approximate (price return minus earnings growth). It shows how much of the move came from the market paying a different multiple. In short: the multiple is about average against its own past, so the earnings trend underneath matters more than the multiple. ## Is the Northrop Grumman business getting better or worse? Northrop Grumman Corporation's business is slowing from a peak. Profit and EPS growth have slowed sharply (profit growth from +72.6% at its peak to +12.5% now), while ROCE is still 15.4%. This is based on 12 quarters of 4 measures. Why it matters: slowing from a peak is where good stories often end quietly. ## How much does Northrop Grumman earn on its capital? Northrop Grumman Corporation earned a ROE of 25% in FY25. That is up from a low of 14% in FY23. Its return on capital used (ROIC) is 11.8 percentage points above its cost of capital, so growth here adds value, not just size. It comes from a 10.0% net margin and 0.82× asset turnover (sales divided by assets). Why the return is what it is (FY25): a 10.0% net margin × 0.82× asset turnover × 3.08× leverage (assets divided by equity) ≈ 25.3% on equity. The margin does its share; borrowing is a big part of it. The key test, return on capital used minus the cost of capital: 15.4% − 3.6% = +11.8 percentage points. The 3.6% is an estimate of this company's own cost of capital. Read the sign and size of the gap, not the decimals. A gap this wide means each dollar put back into the business creates more than a dollar of value. ## Does Northrop Grumman have too much debt? Northrop Grumman Corporation has total debt of $17.4 B against shareholder equity of $18.7 B as of Sep 2026, so its debt is 0.93× its equity. Year by year, that ratio went from 1.13 in FY21 to 1.07 in FY25. Keep that borrowing in mind when reading the returns on this page. ## What is the Northrop Grumman shareholding pattern? 1.6% of Northrop Grumman Corporation's tradable shares are in short positions, which are bets that the price will fall, so very few traders are betting against this stock. At normal trading volumes, closing those positions would take about 2.3 days. US companies do not publish a quarter-by-quarter list of owners, so this page uses short interest instead. It is a single reading at one point in time; we do not have its history. Why it is at this level: the figure does not say who holds the short positions or why, so we show the level without guessing the story. ## How far is Northrop Grumman from balance-sheet trouble? For Northrop Grumman Corporation, the Z-score is 3.27. A Z-score above about 3 is safe and below about 1.8 signals danger, so this is well clear of danger. It estimates how far the balance sheet is from trouble; it is not a forecast of failure. Why it matters: a Z-score of 3.27 is well clear of the danger zone, so the balance sheet is not the risk here. ## How does Northrop Grumman rank in its industry? 51.0 out of 100, rank 15 of 30 in Aerospace & Defense, with 85% of the evidence available. Northrop Grumman Corporation scores 51.0 out of 100 against the 30 companies it is compared with in Aerospace & Defense, ranking 15. The valuation scores well, but earnings are not improving yet, so the business does not back up the low multiple so far. The four parts add up to the total exactly: 11.9 + 14.9 + 14.5 + 9.7 = 51. This is the same number shown on the industry page; it is worked out once for the whole group and read here. What would change it: The score would fall if profit growth turns negative or margins stop improving while the share price lags its sector. ## Which companies is Northrop Grumman compared with? Northrop Grumman ranks 15 of 30 Aerospace & Defense companies on the 4-Factor Sector Score, with 51.0 out of 100. 1.

Missing figures are not scored as bad. They lower the confidence and pull the final score toward the middle. Relative strength counts only when the company has a reading for this week; with no reading, that factor is left out and its 20 points are shared across the other three in proportion. PEG is not shown when the ratio cannot mean anything: the company must be making a profit, its price-to-earnings must be positive, and its three-year earnings growth must fall between 5% and 60%. Dividing a price multiple by a loss, or by growth measured off a tiny base, produces a number that looks precise and tells you nothing. Under relative strength, one mark per week shows the last 12 weeks: a mark is filled where the company led S&P 500 by 5% or more over the 13 weeks ending that week, which is the same test used everywhere on this site. Price stage places the company on the same six-step path the industry is placed on (basing, turning, breaking out, leader, fading, asleep), read from how many weeks running it has led S&P 500 and whether that lead is growing or shrinking. It describes where the share price stands, not the direction of earnings, and it is not a recommendation; it is left blank for a company whose weekly history is too short or too stale to read. The figures in this ranking come from the industry comparison: results through the Sep 2026 quarter, and the P/E at that quarter's end. The sections above use the latest weekly price, so a P/E or return there can differ a little from the one here. The stage words in this ranking (such as losing its lead or breaking out) describe the lead over the index, not the price phase in the price section.
