Sentiment · FY2026 Q2
Sales of $18 billion were in line with the prior year as F-16 and C-130 program losses pressured Aeronautics margins, while EPS of $6.44 declined 12% against tough prior-year comparisons. Munitions production ramp accelerated with $7 billion in PAC-3 contract awards, and F-35 combat performance in active theaters validated the platform's franchise value.
