Northrop Grumman's second-quarter sales grew 5% to $10.9 billion, while segment operating margin dipped below 10.6% margin in the quarter. The company wrote down increased costs to develop two guided missile programs and an extended solid rocket booster, which hampered profitability in the period.
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.
