01:35 PM EST, 11/05/2025 (MT Newswires) -- CFRA, an independent research provider, has provided MT Newswires with the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:
We increase our 12-month target price by $41 to $319, which is 25.0x our 2026 EPS estimate, a premium to LHX's three-year average forward P/E of 17.8x but in line with the peer average forward P/E of 24.5x. We raise our 2025 EPS estimate by $0.02 to $10.72 and our 2026 EPS forecast by $0.16 to $12.78. LHX delivered strong Q3 results, with 10% organic growth, and raised 2025 guidance across key metrics. The company achieved its eighth consecutive quarter of margin expansion, reaching 15.9% adjusted segment operating margin. Aerojet Rocketdyne continues exceeding expectations, with 15% organic growth and record $8.3B backlog. The $2.2B Korea award and robust international demand support our revised estimates. Our Hold rating reflects balanced risk/reward at current levels. While LHX benefits from strong defense spending tailwinds and excellent execution, shares trade at premium valuations. Positive catalysts include potential Golden Dome awards and accelerating missile defense spending.
