NOC Northrop Grumman Corp.

$NOC $BA this drop is dumb..I work for one of these corporations.. Half the work will be sub contracted out to Northrop and lockheed anyways...

$NOC I don't think the governments selection was the best option for the American defense industry. My guess is Boeing had better lobbyists.

$NOC should be bouncing between 700 and 800 but since AI is the total market now we're stuck here.

$NOC same mkt cap as $ALAB and they have 700 employess and a 200 PE. Makes total sense to me.

NOC Stock Heads For Second Red Week: BofA Calls Northrop Attractive Despite Losing Navy Contract To Boeing $NOC $BA $SHLD $PPA https://stocktwits.com/news/equity/markets/noc-stock-heads-for-second-red-week-bof-a-calls-northrop-attractive-despite-losing-navy-contract-to-boeing/cZDiCVlRBig

$NOC is trading current margin for a future lock. Backlog is $105B. The B-21 has absorbed about $2B in cumulative losses. Q2 operating margin fell to 10.1% from 13.8%. Fixed-price lots are the cost of multi-decade sustainment. It is one of two U.S. solid rocket motor producers. GaN radars and captive packaging IP raise the barrier. This is not an open-market multiple. #NOC #Defense #B21 #Aerospace

$NOC Rothschild & Co Redburn started coverage this week with a Buy and a 680 target, roughly 43% above where the stock is trading. Bold call for a name sitting right near its 52-week low of 470. The pitch is that B-21 Raider and Sentinel are turning from development spend into production cash flow, with revenue compounding about 6.8% and EPS about 8.3% a year through 2030. RBC read it the other way just days earlier, cutting to sector perform with a 525 target.

$NOC if you are this lost about a stock, about something this simple, you should probably not be investing in individual stocks

$NOC bounced to about 483 this morning after closing Monday at 476.11, its lowest close since May 2025, following heavy selling last week (Friday traded about 3.5x normal volume). It's still well under a falling 50-day near 537 and a falling 200-day near 598. A bounce isn't a turn to me, so I'm not interested until it gets back above that 50-day.

$NOC is steady and the momentum appears stable and supportive, with $GRML quietly strengthening and positioning for a move.

Northrop Grumman Downgraded To ‘Sector Perform’ – RBC Says 6% Sales Growth From 2026 Through 2028 Could Be Best-Case Scenario $NOC $BA https://stocktwits.com/news/equity/markets/northrop-grumman-downgraded-to-sector-perform-rbc-says-6-sales-growth-from-2026-through-2028-could-be-best-case-scenario/cZDjLo7RBKX

RBC Capital Markets downgraded Northrop Grumman to Sector Perform from Outperform and cut its price target to $525 from $640, citing more limited upside to defense spending and growth prospects beyond fiscal 2027. Analyst Ken Herbert said roughly 6% annual revenue growth from 2026 through 2028, in line with peers, represents a best-case scenario. RBC believes Northrop is less exposed to international sales and expects slower defense-budget growth after FY2027 to constrain upside. Its model assumes low-single-digit real growth in defense spending from FY2028 through 2031, with increasing crowding-out risk. Following Boeing's F/A-XX fighter win, RBC sees Northrop's main growth opportunities shifting toward the B-21 bomber, space portfolio and potentially solid-fuel rocket motors, although each would require additional investment. RBC expects the B-21 program's production target to eventually reach at least 150 aircraft as its mission expands. $NOC

$NOC options flow lesson: volume and open interest answer different questions. Volume counts contracts traded during the session. Open interest is the standing balance from the prior settle. The two should not be treated as interchangeable. The alert snapshot shows $1.5M in the Jan 21 $530 calls. Volume was 9.1x standing open interest at capture. Intraday volume does not establish whether a position was opened or held; the next settled open interest is the check.
