Bullish sentimentAI analysisGenerated by AI from underlying data8 posts analyzed · as of 2026-06-18

Elbit Systems was awarded approximately $1.4B in contracts for European customer military modernization, strengthening its defense-technology position. The neckline breakout from 1997, a $30.2B backlog with 1.9 book-to-bill, F-35 sole-source missile-navigation monopoly, and a multi-payload UGV (ROOK) with Roboteam reinforce the fundamentals. One poster expresses 'finally able to get ESLT for less than 100x PE' framing - tone is uniformly long-thesis positive.

AI verdictAI analysisGenerated by AI from underlying data

TickerTalks' own read on what's driving $ESLT — fundamentals, momentum, or an event — and whether it agrees with the X crowd.

Proven numbersAcceleratingAI verdict · as of 2026-10-02

The move is getting stronger, with heavier trading behind it.

Israeli defense-electronics leader with Q1 revenue +15% YoY, $30.2B backlog, 1.9 book-to-bill and ~$1.4B in European military-modernization contracts.

Elbit Systems supplies defense-electronics (electro-optics, UAVs, land systems, command-and-control, F-35 missile navigation sole-source), so revenue scales with multi-year defense-program ramps across Israel, Europe and the US.

  • Q1 FY26 revenue $2.19B, +15.5% YoY with 9.4% operating margin; four consecutive quarters of 11-21% revenue growth, operating margin consistently 8-10%
  • TTM: 64x earnings, 4.6x sales, 14% ROE, 25% gross margin, 8.8% operating margin, FCF yield 1.6%, debt-to-equity 0.21
  • 2026 estimates: $9.11B revenue, $14.70 EPS; 2027 $10.17B, $17.59 EPS — modeling continued double-digit revenue growth and 20% EPS growth
  • YTD +19%, trailing-12m +38% at $695.68 against a $34.4B market cap
  • $30.2B backlog with 1.9 book-to-bill ratio; F-35 sole-source missile-navigation monopoly; ROOK multi-payload UGV with Roboteam
  • ~$1.4B in contracts for European customer military modernization
  • Filed shelf prospectus in Israel

The operating story is the strongest fundamentals signal in defense-electronics (double-digit revenue growth across four quarters, record backlog, 1.9 book-to-bill) and the European defense cycle continues to extend. The 64x TTM multiple reflects the ongoing European defense-spending acceleration.

Agrees with X sentimentX cites the ~$1.4B European military-modernization awards, $30.2B backlog, 1.9 book-to-bill, F-35 missile-navigation monopoly and multi-payload UGV (ROOK), with one poster framing 'finally able to get ESLT for less than 100x PE.' The attention aligns with the operating acceleration and the backlog visibility.

What to watch: Nov 24 Q2 earnings — whether revenue growth sustains above 15% or decelerates as the European defense-spending comp lap tightens.

Fundamentals & catalyst

Profitability, valuation, and the next earnings event — at a glance, with rule-of-thumb signals.

Key ratios

P/E
64.5How much investors are paying per dollar of profit the company actually earned in the last 12 months. Lower means the stock looks cheaper relative to earnings.~15–25 is typical for the S&P 500; high-growth names trade 30+; hyper-growth or speculative can be 100+ or negative.
ROIC
8.7%What percentage return the business earns on every dollar of capital (equity + debt) deployed in operations. The cleanest measure of business quality.Above ~15% is high-quality; consistently above 25% suggests a real moat. Below the company's cost of capital is value-destroying.
Op margin
8.8%Operating profit (after sales, marketing, R&D, and overhead but before interest and taxes) as a percentage of revenue. The clearest view of how well the underlying business is run.Mature business above 20% is healthy; software businesses can run 30%+; commodity / retail businesses operate in single digits.
FCF yield
1.6%Free cash flow (operating cash flow minus capex) divided by the company's market cap. The cash-on-cash return you'd get owning the whole business at today's price.Above ~5% is attractive; below ~2% means you're paying up for growth. Capital-light businesses (software) run higher than capital-heavy ones (utilities).
P/S
4.6Same idea as P/E but per dollar of revenue. Useful for companies that aren't profitable yet, where P/E is meaningless.Under ~2 is cheap; software / SaaS often runs 8–15; well above 20 implies the market is pricing in very high future growth.
ROE
14.5%Net income as a percentage of shareholders' equity. Similar to ROIC but counts only the equity side.Above 20% is strong, but can be inflated by leverage — a heavily indebted company can show high ROE with weak underlying ROIC.
Gross margin
24.7%Revenue minus the direct cost of producing what was sold, as a percentage of revenue. The first read on whether the product is structurally profitable.Software / SaaS is typically 70%+; consumer goods 30–50%; commodity / hardware businesses can be under 20%.
D/E
0.2Total debt divided by shareholders' equity. Measures how much the business runs on borrowed money versus owner capital.Under 1 is conservative; 1–2 is typical for mature businesses; over 2 is leveraged and more sensitive to interest rates.
