War/Defence Stocks: Macro Fib SchematicsThis handcrafted idea using Advanced Fibonacci Tools beholds 6 of the largest War Mongering "Defence" contractors. ( Raytheon, Boeing, Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, General Dynamics, L3 Harris Tech ) These Fibonacci Schematics show all price manipulation of Support and Resistance. I've started the timeline at 1999 for many reasons. One being the already conceived and "soon to be" conflicts of the Middle East with the "war of terror." (Give me a break) 2001 kickstarted another HUGE flow of stimulus into these defence contractors to fund the West's newest war to keep people "proud to be an American". Solely by continuing the collective punishment of millions of people in the Middle East region. This had already been going on for about 2 decades at least before 9/11. The American Government killed hundreds of thousands to millions of Iraqis and Afghanistan people through this collective punishment. They needed a way to continue their genocidal intent and ethnic cleansing with a false flag terror attack to get the American People back on their side. 9/11 brought out the worst in our country and the "PatRioTiC" US citizens green lit their leaders to dish out more collective punishment even though their leaders had been lying though their teeth for countless years.... I need give only one example with "weapons of mass destruction" Obviously this matters because these Defence Contractors have blood all over their hands that they are basically swimming in it. Anyways, this is just a Macro Analysis. These lines represent death and destruction so investing in them is a moral dilemma which I obviously advice against. by MichaelBsul2
NOC - strong seasonal opportunityWe’re in a seasonally strong time of the year for the defense sector. NYSE:NOC NOC tends to perform well in the first half of the year. It recently hit its first target in this measured range from the breakout of a descending wedge. A move to ~495 would align to the full range and match the seasonal performance in Jan/Feb. Companies in the defense sector experience geopolitical news driven swings in sentiment. Any unfavorable news could see price test the $468-475 range of volume weighted prices below that are anchored to the 10/28/22 high, the 10/6/23 formation of the current descending wedge, and the 11/20/23 breakout from the descending wedge. Note that analyst consensus 12 month price target is $510, which aligns closely to the $507 fib level of the retrace from the 10/28/22 high and the retrace that formed the descending wedge.

NOC Stock Rises As Northrop Grumman Rounds Out Defense Earnings.Defense stocks were mixed early Thursday as Northrop Grumman (NOC) announced quarterly results. General Dynamics (GD) reported above-forecast third-quarter results Wednesday. RTX stock spiked on Tuesday after a Q3 earnings beat. Rapidly evolving circumstances in Israel and Palestine sparked greater interest in defense companies going into the earnings season. Northrop Grumman specializes in advanced missiles, missile components, defense systems and sensor technology. The company's various manned aircraft include the A-10 Thunderbolt, B-2 Stealth Bomber, B-21 Raider, F-35 and the F/A-18 Super Hornet. Northrop's third-quarter earnings rose about 5% to $6.18 per share on 9% revenue growth to $9.78 billion. We expect Northrop earnings to fall for the first time in three quarters, sliding 1.4% to $5.81 per share. Revenue views targeted a 6.8% rise to $9.58 billion. The company reported that defense system sales rose 6% to $1.42 billion and mission systems revenue increased 7% to $2.63 billion. Northrop's space systems division reported an 11% revenue increase to $3.5 billion. Aeronautics revenue rose 9% to $2.77 billion. It lifted its full-year sales guidance to $39 billion, from the previous range of $38.4 billion to $38.8 billion. Northrop maintained its earnings forecast, expecting EPS between $22.45 and $22.85. Analysts polled by FactSet see full-year earnings of $22.74 on $38.79 billion in revenue. Northrop is well positioned thanks to its "high priority" long-term growth programs including the B-21 and Sentential Ground Based Strategic Deterrent (GBSD), an intercontinental ballistic missile system, UBS wrote in an Oct. 10 research note. The programs provide greater visibility and should drive overperformance. UBS initiated coverage of NOC stock with a buy rating and $555 price target. NOC stock gained 0.6% early Thursday, adding to Wednesday's 1% gain. Shares slid below their 10-day moving average early in the week. NOC stock is trading around mid-January levels and down 11.3% this year. We can see the Trend line in sync with the Relative Strength Index indicating Bullish Trend on Northrop. Longby DEXWireNews2

War Giants Greed: Secret Military Industrial Complex TechnologyThe War on Terror: A Cash Infusion: "The global War on Terror" Massive air quotes , initiated in 2001 following the 9/11 terrorist attacks, led to a substantial surge in defense spending, especially by the U.S. This created an economic windfall for defense companies, fuelling their research and development initiatives. Black Budget Projects: Part of the military's classified "black budget" is allocated to defense companies for top-secret projects. This could include advanced propulsion systems, stealth technology, energy weapons, and yes, even so-called anti-gravity technology. Alien Technology Reverse-Engineering: Some conspiracy theories propose that defense companies have recovered crashed extraterrestrial spacecraft and are reverse-engineering their technology for military purposes. This narrative often ties back to the infamous Roswell incident in 1947, where it's suggested that debris from an alien spacecraft was collected and studied. UFOs as Military Aircraft: Another common theory suggests that some UFO sightings are actually sightings of advanced, top-secret military aircraft developed by defense companies. In this theory, the strange movements and high speeds of these UFOs can be explained by undisclosed technological advancements. Government and Corporate Secrecy: Conspiracy theories often hinge on the idea of widespread secrecy among governments and corporations. Theorists suggest that these entities possess advanced technology (possibly of extraterrestrial origin) but keep it secret for reasons of national security, profit, or control. Area 51 and Skunk Works: Area 51, a classified remote detachment of Edwards Air Force Base, is often mentioned in conspiracy theories. Lockheed Martin's Skunk Works, known for developing groundbreaking aircraft like the SR-71 Blackbird and the F-117 Nighthawk, is also rumored to test new technologies there. These rumors fuel theories of secret advanced technology development. Advanced Technology Suppression: Some theories suggest that highly advanced technologies, such as zero-point energy or anti-gravity, have been discovered and are being suppressed by defense companies, the military, or powerful elites. The rationale behind these theories varies, but common themes include maintaining control over the populace and protecting established industries. 1. Lockheed Martin Corp (LMT): $95 billion 2. Boeing Co (BA): $132 billion 3. Raytheon Technologies Corp (RTX): $134 billion 4. Northrop Grumman Corp (NOC): $57 billion 5. General Dynamics Corp (GD): $44 billion 6. L3Harris Technologies Inc (LHX): $42 billion The U.S. Department of Defense only represents a portion of these companies' business, as they may also have contracts with other parts of the government, as well as with foreign governments and private entities. For example, in 2020, Lockheed Martin reportedly received $75 billion in contract obligations from the U.S. government, --Boeing received about $28 billion --Raytheon about $27 billion --Northrop Grumman about $19 billion --General Dynamics about $15 billion --L3Harris about $9 billion. These figures are for one single year and only for U.S. government contracts.by MichaelBsul116
NOC WCA - Head and Shoulders PatternCompany: Northrop Grumman Ticker: NOC Exchange: NYSE Sector: Defense Introduction: Hello, and thank you for reading this analysis. Today, we focus on Northrop Grumman (NOC) on the NYSE. The weekly chart shows a potentially significant head and shoulders pattern that deserves our attention. Head and Shoulders Pattern: The head and shoulders pattern is a classic chart formation that can indicate either a bullish continuation or bearish reversal, depending on its orientation and the preceding trend. In this case, the pattern has formed over 441 days, making it noteworthy. Analysis: The NOC chart shows a clear uptrend, as demonstrated by the green upward sloping line and the position of the price above the 200 EMA. Both of these factors contribute to a bullish sentiment. However, the formation of the head and shoulders pattern introduces an element of uncertainty. The neckline of this pattern, which currently acts as support, is at 431.61. A break below this level could signal a bearish reversal, offering a potential shorting opportunity. On the other hand, a break above the right shoulder could indicate a continuation of the bullish trend. Given the existing uptrend and the position above the 200 EMA, the probabilities currently favor a continuation. Conclusion: In summary, Northrop Grumman's weekly chart presents a head and shoulders pattern within an uptrend, offering potential trading opportunities in both directions. Therefore, this is a chart to watch closely in the coming days. As always, it's important to manage your risk appropriately and ensure that any trading decisions align with your overall investment strategy. Please note that this analysis does not constitute financial advice. Always conduct your own research before making investment decisions.

NOC swing trade ideaNYSE:NOC reports on Thursday. It's still 15% off of its ATH. It's been in an uptrend and putting in HL and HH's this year. They beat on revenue and EPS last quarter. There have been a lot of down revisions to estimates, while NOC has a strong history of beating estimates. I'm setting up for a short term trade that assumes a beat. Entry at $472. Targeting overhead resistance at the 200SMA and the top of the gap from the Jan 12 drop to take profit. Setting a stop at $462, which is 1 20 period ATR below the 0.382 of the current extension.

Defence stocks ideas: $NOCNOC is one of the best performing large cap investments of the last decade but has gotten expensive with a PE (fwd) of 21.45x. Despite the optically rich valuation, worries over limited returns in future are not warranted as the business is positioned to continue growing revenues and earnings. NOC is investing in future growth by doubling down its investments in space and ramping up capex to stay competitive through initiatives such as in-house chip fabrication. It has used its strong cash generation to grow dividends for 17 straight years and has also made use of buybacks to reduce its share count and boost EPS. Investors waiting for it to get cheaper might miss the long-term opportunityLongby IlyaKolos4
Symmetrical TriangleRectangle noted that NOC was in before breaking up to form a symmetrical triangle only to break down from the triangle.

The support line is broken today but a clear downtrend is not noted.by lauralea5

Northrop Grumman (NOC)Transfer of ABRAMS and LEOPARD 2 tanks to Ukraine has become unblocked. Ukraine would have requested, so it seems, over 300 tanks, deemed necessary to replace the losses suffered especially in recent months, to increase firepower and move on the most difficult terrains. Tanks will necessarily need air cover. Tanks are always dangerous, because in fact we pass from a positional/artillery war to an offensive one. The tanks are the real "boots on the groud" and I don't think they will be only for the defense of the Ukrainian territory. It is rapidly moving to a new level of confrontation.Longby mgiuliani111

NOC sustain its bullish momentumDespite all the uncertainty this year, NOC’s stock continues forward on its long-term uptrend. As long price holds above 470, there are many reasons to be bullish in 2023. Strong momentum and the bullish patterns reflect optimism in the market. In short-term price is likely to remain volatile in a range between 480 and 560, however long-term momentum points to the higher levels between 700 and 770 by the end of 2023.
