NOC (Northrop Grumman) Valuation Breakdown: Trading Near 52-Week Lows Despite Record Backlog - Deep Value or Value Trap?
NOC trades at 16–17.5x forward P/E, below its historical 5-year average, while holding a record $85B+ order backlog backed by long-term, defensible programs like the B-21 Raider and Sentinel ICBM modernization. The combination of valuation compression and multi-year revenue visibility suggests the pullback toward $480–$485 represents an attractive accumulation opportunity for patient capital.
