Target rises to USD 850.00

The analyst action places the target 12.63 percent above the USD 754.66 primary-market price supplied for October 20, 2026 at 10:41 a.m. ET. The target change was modest at 0.59 percent, but it remains the latest named-bank adjustment in the coverage reviewed. Morgan Stanley also described aerospace and defense demand as supportive ahead of third-quarter results, according to the same dated report.

Second-quarter revenue reached USD 2.29 billion

Elbit Systems reported USD 2.287 billion in second-quarter 2026 revenue and a 9.60 percent GAAP operating margin, according to TradingView on October 19, 2026. The company also had a USD 32.00 billion backlog in that report, giving investors a second operating measure beyond quarterly sales.

Valuation and reporting date

Elbit Systems had a USD 35.4 billion market capitalization and a trailing P/E ratio of 56.46 as of October 20, 2026. Its primary listing is Nasdaq under ticker ESLT, while the quoted euro price serves German-market investors.

The quoted USD 754.66 price sat between a 52-week low of USD 453.00 and a high of USD 1,016.06 on October 20, 2026. The next scheduled reporting date is November 24, 2026, when Elbit Systems is expected to report third-quarter 2026 results, according to Barrons.

What does the target imply?

Morgan Stanley's USD 850.00 target is above the primary-market price, but the comparison uses different currencies from the euro quote and is therefore not combined with the Lang & Schwarz level. The more direct German-market takeaway is the current EUR 670.25 quotation, while the latest operating figures point to USD 2.29 billion in quarterly revenue and a 9.60 percent margin.

Trading level and next date

Elbit Systems was trading at EUR 670.25 at Lang & Schwarz on October 20, 2026 at 4:32 p.m. CEST. The next scheduled earnings date is November 24, 2026.
