Northrop Grumman has a strong focus on producing hardware for classified programs and currently enjoys exposure to some hefty military development programs that are early in their life cycle.
Northrop Grumman has won the Ground Based Strategic Deterrent and B-21 bomber programs, both of which should drive material top-line growth over the next few decades.
Northrop Grumman depends on U.S. military funding for its sales, which is an inherently political and thus uncertain process.
