Northrop Grumman Q3 FY2026: sales up 7.0%, EPS $7.89, guidance raised
Northrop Grumman beat the $7.253 consensus EPS with $7.89 and lifted full-year guidance across sales, segment income, EPS and free cash flow, so the quarter reads bullish on demand. Note what did the work, though: a 13.4% tax rate, a larger pension credit and a 1.5x book-to-bill — not a fattening operating margin, which slipped to 11.4%. Read the scorecard for growth, then guidance, then cash.
