UBS maintained a Hold rating on General Dynamics stock and set a USD 379.00 price target in a report dated September 29, 2026, according to Markets Insider. The call gives investors a defined valuation reference as the aerospace and defense company approaches its next quarterly update.
Second-quarter growth sets the baseline
General Dynamics reported USD 14.09 billion in revenue for the second quarter of 2026, up 8.10 percent from USD 13.04 billion in the year-earlier quarter, according to Markets Insider. Net profit rose to USD 1.16 billion from USD 1.01 billion, while the company reported diluted earnings per share of USD 4.24 for the period.
The quarterly result also exceeded the USD 13.52 billion revenue consensus and the USD 3.96 earnings-per-share consensus, according to MarketBeat. That comparison matters because the reported revenue growth was paired with an earnings beat rather than relying on sales expansion alone.
Guidance and the next date
Management set fiscal 2026 earnings-per-share guidance at USD 16.80 to USD 16.90, according to Yahoo Finance. The same earnings-call transcript states that General Dynamics expects to hold its third-quarter earnings call on October 30, 2026, giving the market a dated checkpoint for the guidance range.
The valuation picture is mixed rather than one-dimensional. UBS's USD 379.00 target is above the USD 330.41 NYSE quote at 10:56 a.m. ET on October 6, 2026, while the stock's USD 306.77 to USD 400.00 52-week range leaves the current level inside the established trading band.
European quote remains dated
The Stuttgart Stock Exchange last quoted General Dynamics at EUR 293.00 on September 28, 2026 at 8:01 p.m. CEST, down EUR 0.50 on the session. The primary listing is on the NYSE, where General Dynamics traded at USD 330.41 on October 6, 2026, and the company carried a USD 89.4 billion market capitalization.
