A collection of stocks on Wall Street may have recently gotten ahead of themselves. Shares of aerospace and defense contractor Northrop Grumman have advanced roughly 9% in 2024 and 5% in August alone. The company's second-quarter results in July surpassed Wall Street estimates on the top and bottom lines, while Northrop's full-year revenue outlook also beat analysts' expectations. UBS analyst Gavin Parsons recently highlighted Northrop as the bank's top pick among aerospace and defense stocks, citing awards of two of the Pentagon's top three "priority programs" as well as higher defense spending. The deal, at a planned $83.50 per share, is the largest acquisition on Wall Street in 2024 so far.
