what happened
General Dynamics will publish its third-quarter earnings before the market opens on Friday, according to StockStory. Last quarter the company posted revenue of $14.09 billion, up 8.1% from a year earlier, beating analyst revenue forecasts, and its earnings per share also topped expectations.
The market expects revenue to grow 6.6% year on year, slower than the 10.6% gain recorded in the same quarter last year. Analysts have broadly kept their estimates unchanged over the past 30 days. The publication notes that the company rarely misses revenue forecasts.
Peers have already reported: RTX grew revenue 11.1% and beat expectations by 3.3%, while Parsons revenue rose 1.8%, topping estimates by 2%. Over the last month General Dynamics shares gained 7.8%, while defense contractor stocks fell 2.6% on average.
why it matters
Defense stocks have competed for investor attention in recent months with AI, geopolitics and interest rates. The General Dynamics and RTX reports will show how contractors are handling revenue growth and could set the tone for the whole sector.
