If you believe NOC can sustain its margin advantage while re-accelerating growth and managing leverage, then the stock looks reasonable to own because the P/E discount and 18.4% implied upside leave room for re-rating.
On a P/E basis, NOC trades at 18.5x versus GD at 22.0x, which supports a relative valuation discount for NOC. However, that discount is partially offset by NOC’s weaker revenue growth and lower ROIC, while the provided implied price still sits above the current price by 18.4%.
