诺斯罗普·格鲁曼公司因2025年销售指导未能达成共识而下滑

Northrop Grumman (NYSE:NOC) -1.4% in early trading Thursday after reporting mixed Q4 results, with adjusted earnings coming in slightly above consensus expectations but missing on revenues, while issuing below-consensus guidance for FY 2025 revenues.

Northrop (NOC) swung to a Q4 profit of $1.26B from a loss of $535M in the year-earlier quarter when it took a $1.2B charge against the new B-21 Raider bomber it was building for the U.S. Air Force, while revenues were roughly flat at $10.69B compared with $10.64B a year ago and below Wall Street projections.

Sales at the aeronautic business jumped 11% Y/Y to $3.22B, the defense systems segment climbed 5% to $2.33B, and mission systems sales rose 3% to $3.14B, but revenues at the space systems business fell 13% Y/Y to $2.71B, after the segment's sales took a $231M hit from the winding down of its work on restricted space and Next Generation Interceptor projects.

For FY 2025, Northrop (NOC) guided for adjusted earnings of $27.85-$28.25/share, in line with $28.12 analyst consensus estimate, and revenues of $42B-$42.5B, below $42.77 consensus; in FY 2024, the company hit EPS of $28.34 on revenues of $41.03B.
