Action:Downgraded
Date:06/25/26
The score is primarily supported by strong financial performance (growth, improving profitability, and low leverage with solid ROE). Offsetting this are expensive valuation (high P/E and low dividend yield) and weak near-term technical momentum (below key moving averages with negative MACD), which together cap the overall rating.
Positive Factors
Conservative leverage
Significantly reduced leverage and a low debt-to-equity (~0.23) improve financial flexibility, lower interest exposure and support bidding on long-term defense contracts. This structural balance-sheet strength helps the company absorb program timing shocks and finance growth without excessive external funding.
Negative Factors
Modest revenue growth
Single-digit (≈3.4%) revenue growth suggests limited organic top-line expansion absent major new program awards. For a systems integrator, slower revenue growth constrains scale benefits, limits margin expansion opportunities and makes returns more dependent on execution and contract renewals.

Elbit Systems Earnings Call Summary
Earnings Call Date:Mar 17, 2026
(Q4-2025)
| % Change Since: |
Next Earnings Date:Aug 18, 2026
Earnings Call Sentiment Positive
The call presented a strongly positive operating and financial performance: double-digit revenue growth, record backlog and free cash flow, expanding margins, sizable contract wins (including advanced directed-energy programs), and a planned CapEx ramp to address capacity. Challenges include a Q4 aerospace revenue decline, near-term capacity and supply-chain pressures, working capital build, and timing uncertainty for some large international opportunities. Overall, the positives (broad-based growth, margin expansion, record backlog and cash generation, and large strategic contract awards) outweigh the lowlights.Positive Updates

Company Guidance
Management's guidance focused on capacity and investment to convert a record $28.1 billion backlog (up ~$5.5 billion year‑over‑year; ~72% from outside Israel; ~54% scheduled for 2026–27) into continued double‑digit growth rather than specific revenue targets: they plan to increase CapEx to ~ $300 million in 2026 (up from $225 million in 2025 and ~ $200 million average over the past five years) to expand factories (including Ramat Beka, with deliveries expected to begin soon) and ammunition and electronics production (some capacity co‑funded by customers); this build‑out is supported by strong cash generation (operating cash flow $778 million in 2025, free cash flow $553 million, +73% YoY) and sustained R&D investment (> $0.5 billion total; net R&D $517 million or 6.5% of revenues), with Europe (27% of 2025 revenues) flagged as a primary growth engine and a $1.00 per‑share dividend declared.Elbit Systems Financial Statement Overview
