Deep Analysis

NOC’s EV/EBITDA of 13.5x means investors are paying 13.5 times the company’s earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization for the whole business, a common gauge of valuation.

This matches the sector median of 13.5x, placing NOC at the 50th percentile among peers — exactly in the middle of the pack. The metric has been increasing, but year-over-year change is not available; quarter-over-quarter it rose 1.7%. A level that sits at the sector median combined with a rising trend suggests moderate valuation pressure with no clear edge over peers, but also no marked discount. This mix points to average risk and average opportunity, as the rising multiple is offset by its neutral standing. Overall, the metric supports the NEUTRAL verdict on the stock.
