Consistent EPS Surprises
Elbit Systems (ESLT) has exceeded earnings per share (EPS) estimates in 9 out of the last 12 quarters, with an average positive surprise of 11.55% in the most recent quarters (Q2 2025: 11.74%, Q1 2025: 36.41%).
Improving P/E Ratio Trend
The trailing twelve-month (TTM) P/E ratio is 76.2, which appears high. However, the projected P/E for 2024 is 37.1, and for 2025 (based on Q1 data) is 165.5, indicating a significant forward-looking decrease in valuation, especially when compared to the TTM. The company's growth in revenue and net income suggests the current valuation might be justified by future earnings potential.
High Trailing P/E Ratio
The current trailing P/E ratio of 76.2 (TTM) and 97.0 (2023) is significantly high, suggesting the stock might be overvalued relative to its current earnings. While forward P/E ratios are lower, the premium valuation requires sustained high growth to be justified.
Slowing Revenue Growth Momentum
While revenue has grown year-over-year, the quarterly revenue growth rate shows some deceleration. For instance, Q1 2025 revenue of $1.89 billion represents a growth of approximately 5.6% year-over-year (assuming Q1 2024 was similar to Q4 2023's $1.93 billion annualized), compared to the 16.5% revenue growth seen in FY2024 over FY2023.
