Barclays analyst David Strauss lowered the firm’s price target on Northrop Grumman (NOC) to $500 from $550 and keeps an Equal Weight rating on the shares. Barclays sees aerospace generating positive relative earnings growth and further outperformance in 2025.

While defense has underperformed, the setup “remains difficult” with more budget risk than thought given fiscal realities along with Department of Government Efficiency uncertainty, the analyst tells investors in a research note.
