NORTHROP GRUMMAN CORP /DE/ Financial Overview 2021–2025

Updated Jul 10, 2026

Northrop Grumman ended FY2025 sitting on a $95.7 billiona backlog, providing immense visibility into future U.S. defense spending. Despite absorbing heavy loss provisions on the B-21 Raider program, the contractor's entrenched position across space and mission systems is driving steady top-line expansion and resilient cash generation.

Total revenue grew from $35.7 billion in FY2021 to $41.95 billionb in FY2025. This multi-year expansion included sharp profitability swings. In FY2023, a $1.56 billion charge on the B-21 program compressed margins and pushed earnings down to $13.53 per share. The core business rebounded in FY2024, delivering a 72% surge in operating income to $4.37 billion. Northrop Grumman further proved its cash-generation capability in FY2025, increasing free cash flow by 26% to $3.31 billion even after absorbing another $477 million B-21 loss provision in the first quarter. This liquidity fueled consistent shareholder returns, with management deploying $2.9 billion toward dividends and share repurchases during the final year of the period.

At the close of FY2025, the market valued the defense prime at an $81.0 billionc market cap. The stock closed at $570.21 and traded at 19.6x earnings, reflecting a steady premium for its highly concentrated U.S. government revenue stream, which represented 84% of all sales for the year.

Recent Developments (Q4 2025 and Q1 2026)

Northrop Grumman entered Q1 2026 by securing an agreement to expand B-21 Raider production capacity. First-quarter sales grew 4% year-over-year to $9.88 billiond. Operating income surged 73% to $989 million, expanding operating margins to 10.0% from 6.1%. Net earnings jumped 82% to $875 million, or $6.14 per share. The firm ended Q1 2026 with a $95.6 billion backlog. During Q4 2025, the company divested its Immersive Mission Solutions unit for $333 million, netting a $231 million pre-tax gain. In February 2026, the board expanded to 13 members with the election of Admiral Christopher W. Grady.

Bulls view the B-21 capacity expansion and stabilized 10.0% margins as proof that programmatic headwinds are fading. Bears warn that $1.66 billione in Q1 2026 operating cash usage reflects lingering working capital pressures. Trading at 21.0x earnings as of April 21, 2026, the stock's premium valuation demands flawless manufacturing execution.

What to watch: margin sustainability in Aeronautics Systems; progress on reversing operating cash outflows.
