Northrop Grumman's third-quarter sales grew 7% to $11.1 billion, while segment operating margin rebounded to 12.1%. The company reported a record $110 billion backlog and nudged its near-term guidance for segment operating income upward by $65 million.
Northrop Grumman has won the Sentinel and B-21 bomber programs, both of which should drive material top-line growth over the next few decades.
Northrop Grumman depends on US military funding for its sales, which is an inherently political and thus uncertain process.
