Northrop Grumman's stock dropped 16%, prompting an upgrade to Strong Buy as it now trades below intrinsic value. The company reported strong Q1 2026 results with double-digit organic sales growth but limited margin expansion due to inefficiencies and development programs. Despite the positive earnings beat, the 2026 guidance remains steady with sales expected between $43.5–$44 billion and EPS at $27.40–$27.90, reflecting a year of ramp-up rather than breakout growth. The valuation gap with peers and stable long-term outlook support a price target of $711.67, suggesting 21% upside potential.
