Frequently asked questions
What is Northrop Grumman Corporation's revenue?
Northrop Grumman Corporation's trailing twelve-month revenue is $42.37B, and consensus projects about $56.20B by 2030. Revenue is the top line the whole model builds on, and at this scale the question shifts from how fast it grows to whether margins hold as it compounds.
How profitable is NOC?
In its most recent fiscal year, NOC ran a gross margin of 19.81%, an operating margin of 10.20%, and a net margin of 9.97%. Margins this high mean most of each extra dollar of revenue drops through to profit, which is the signature of real pricing power.
How much free cash flow does NOC generate?
NOC produced $3.31B in free cash flow in its most recent fiscal year. Free cash flow is what is left after running and reinvesting in the business, and it is the cash that actually funds buybacks, dividends, and a stronger balance sheet.
Is NOC's balance sheet healthy?
NOC holds $4.40B in cash and equivalents against $15.16B in long-term debt, on $16.67B of shareholder equity. That debt is best read against the cash flow the business throws off each year.
