If you believe GD can sustain its stronger capital efficiency while narrowing the margin gap to ETN, then GD is attractive as a relative-value long because it trades at much lower earnings and sales multiples with stronger leverage metrics.
GD is valued well below the ETN-based implied price, with the P/E approach suggesting 60.1% upside to $613.86 versus the current $383.42 price. The gap is driven by GD’s lower earnings multiple (24.8x vs 39.7x), lower sales multiple (2.0x vs 5.9x), and lower EV/EBITDA (16.5x vs 28.2x).
