Revenue was $10.9 billion, just above the $10.8 billion consensus. Compared with Q2 2025, EPS fell about 6% from $8.15, while revenue rose about 5% from $10.4 billion.
The longer record shows modest growth with one uneven quarter. Annual EPS dipped from $25.55 in 2022 to $23.29 in 2023, then rose to $26.07 in 2024 and $26.37 in 2025. Q1 2025 was the low in the table at $3.32 per share, missing the estimate by 46.82%. Partly because of that weak base, the first two quarters of 2026 add up to $13.82, about 20% more than the same period a year earlier. Q2 2025 set the EPS high here at $8.15, and Q4 2025 set the revenue high at $11.7 billion. Over the last 20 quarters, Northrop Grumman topped the EPS estimate 17 times.
Northrop Grumman reported Q3 between October 21 and October 28 in each of the past five years. That points to late October 2026 for the next report. It will show how the third quarter compares with Q3 2025's $7.67 per share.
