- Monday, May 20, 10:22 AM Northrop Grumman (NOC -0.3%) gets upgrades from Drexel Hamilton (Buy from Hold) and CRT Capital (Fairly Valued from Sell) to go with Friday's modest price target hike from JPMorgan. The company said last week it plans to reduce the number of outstanding shares by 25% by 2015. Price targets: Drexel, $90 from $70; CRT, $52 target removed; JPMorgan (last week), $70 from $68. Comment!
- Friday, May 17, 12:43 PM JPMorgan lifts its price target ($70 from $68) on Northrop Grumman (NOC +3.6%) to reflect Thursday's announcement that the company plans to reduce the number of outstanding shares by 25% by 2015. More interesting is the color in the note regarding NOC's position relative to peers: the company "intends to return essentially all cash to shareholders. Besides LMT's nearly 50% payout ratio (which we believe is likely to rise still higher in September), this is the clearest multi-year strategic statement we have seen among large defense companies, and we think the market will reward this," notes analyst Joseph Nadol III. 1 Comment [On the Move]
- Thursday, May 16, 7:48 PM Northrop Grumman (NOC) says its board has approved an additional $4B for share buybacks bringing the total outstanding authorization to $5B.

In a note raising his price target on RTN ($63), Credit Suisse analyst Robert Spinarn summarizes the sector's strong quarterly results: "RTN's Q1 mirrored that of its peers, with a strong EPS beat against consensus, driven by sales and margins [and] in keeping with what we've seen at GD, LMT, and NOC, RTN's FY guidance now incorporates its assessment of the Sequester." On the week: LMT +2.49% , RTN +5% , NOC +4.4% , BA +5.2% , GD +8.89%. Comment!

- Monday, April 15, 3:23 PM 2012 marked the first annual contraction in global defense spending in a decade and a half according to Bloomberg, quoting the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute. Between austerity in Europe and the scaling back of defense expenditures associated with Afghanistan in the U.S., global military expenditures were down 0.5% last year in real terms. China meanwhile, increased its outlays by nearly 8% and may overtake the U.S. in less than 10 years. Comment!
