SummaryDisclosures

While there are many startups in this industry vying to get a slice of the market share pie, investors may be interested in finding opportunities among established companies that are undervalued and have histories of predictable earnings and revenue growth.

As of Sept. 23, the GuruFocus All-in-One Screener, a Premium feature, found aerospace and defense companies that were significantly undervalued to fairly valued based on the GF Value and had a predictability rank of at least two out of five stars were Northrop Grumman Corp NOC . (NOC, Financial), General Dynamics Corp. (GD, Financial) and Huntington Ingalls Industries Inc HII . (HII, Financial).

The valuation rank of 6 out of 10, however, leans more toward undervaluation since the share price and price-book ratio are both approaching multiyear lows.

GuruFocus rated Northrup Grumman’s financial strength 5 out of 10. Despite having adequate interest coverage, the Altman Z-Score of 2.96 indicates the company is under some pressure since assets are building up at a faster rate than revenue is growing. The return on invested capital, however, overshadows the weighted average cost of capital, suggesting value is being created as the company grows.

The company’s profitability scored a 9 out of 10 rating. Although the operating margin is declining, it is supported by strong returns on equity, assets and capital that outperform a majority of competitors. Northrup Grumman also has a moderate Piotroski F-Score of 6 out of 9, meaning business conditions are typical for a stable company. Consistent earnings and revenue growth contributed to a 4.5-star predictability rank. According to GuruFocus, companies with this rank return an average of 10.6% annually over a 10-year period.

Of the gurus invested in Northrop Grumman, Jim Simons (Trades, Portfolio)’ Renaissance Technologies has the largest position with 0.31% of its outstanding shares.

The valuation rank of 6 out of 10 points to undervaluation even though its share price and price-sales ratio are closing in on multiyear highs.

General Dynamics’ financial strength was rated 5 out of 10 by GuruFocus. In addition to sufficient interest coverage, the Altman Z-Score of 3.03 indicates the company is in good standing despite the fact its assets are building up faster than revenue is growing. The ROIC also slightly eclipses the WACC, indicating value creation is occurring.

The company’s profitability fared better, scoring a 7 out of 10 rating. Even though margins are declining, General Dynamics is supported by returns that outperform a majority of industry peers as well as a moderate Piotroski F-Score of 5. Regardless of a slowdown in revenue per share growth over the past 12 months, the company has a three-star predictability rank. GuruFocus says companies with this rank return, on average, 8.2% annually.

With a 0.88% stake, Barrow, Hanley, Mewhinney & Strauss is the company’s largest guru shareholder. PRIMECAP Management (Trades, Portfolio), Bill Nygren (Trades, Portfolio), Tom Gayner (Trades, Portfolio), Charles Brandes (Trades, Portfolio), First Eagle Investment (Trades, Portfolio), Richard Snow (Trades, Portfolio), Paul Tudor Jones (Trades, Portfolio), Mark Hillman (Trades, Portfolio), Bernard Horn (Trades, Portfolio), Greenblatt, Pioneer Investments, Chuck Royce (Trades, Portfolio) and Fisher also own the stock.
