Northrop Grumman builds the strategic bomber and space systems — programmes with no civilian equivalent.
The flagship programme is the B-21 bomber: development and serial production for decades ahead. Such contracts give exceptional revenue visibility, but the initial lots are fixed-price, and the company has already recognised a charge for overruns on them.
Other lines are spacecraft, electronic warfare, munitions and mission systems. Demand comes from the defence budget and geopolitics rather than the economic cycle, which makes revenue resilient in downturns.
The constraint is the industry's: growth depends on one customer's decisions and on the ability to hire cleared engineers. The company pays a dividend and buys back stock actively.
