Rothschild Redburn starts coverage of Northrop Grumman stock at Buy
Published on 10/07/2026 at 14:53 | Editorial responsibility: Rafael Müller, Editor-in-Chief AD HOC NEWS
Northrop Grumman (ISIN US6668071029) was trading at EUR 433.60 at Lang & Schwarz on October 7, 2026 at 2:41 p.m. CEST, plus 0.88 percent versus the prior close of EUR 429.80. Rothschild Redburn initiated coverage at Buy with a USD 680.00 price target on October 6, 2026, according to Investing.com.
New coverage sets a USD 680 target
The new target gives the analyst house a distinct position in a divided valuation picture. The same Investing.com overview lists RBC Capital at Hold with a USD 525.00 target after a downgrade on October 2, 2026, while Bernstein SocGen Group maintained Hold at USD 620.00 on September 23, 2026.
Northrop Grumman's euro quote remains below the USD 680.00 target in separate currencies, so the figures are not combined into a percentage comparison. For investors, the immediate signal is the contrast between a fresh Buy initiation and the more cautious RBC stance.
Second-quarter revenue reached USD 10.88 billion
Northrop Grumman reported USD 10.88 billion of revenue in the second quarter of 2026, up 5.10 percent year over year, while earnings per share reached USD 7.68 against a USD 6.82 consensus estimate, according to MarketBeat. The USD 0.86 earnings-per-share beat and the revenue increase provide the operating context behind the new analyst coverage.
The company reaffirmed fiscal 2026 earnings-per-share guidance of USD 28.60 to USD 29.10 in the same report. That range places the second-quarter result within a year shaped by execution, program costs and demand for defense technology.
Third-quarter results are due October 20
Northrop Grumman has scheduled its third-quarter 2026 results and conference call for October 20, 2026, according to its Investor Relations calendar. The date gives the market a defined next test for revenue growth, earnings per share and execution across its aerospace and defense programs.
