How this is calculated: We use a Growth Decay Model: starting with analyst consensus growth (adjusted above) and gradually slowing it down to a long-term terminal rate (4%) by Year 5. This provides a more realistic valuation than assuming constant hyper-growth. We then apply a 24.0x Exit PE.
In-depth Analysis How we analyze
Valuation Analysis: LHX is currently trading at $266.73, which is considered oversold relative to its 30-day fair value range of $276.59 to $295.07. From a valuation perspective, the stock is trading at a discount (Forward PE: 19.8) compared to its historical average (24.0). Remarkably, the market is currently pricing in an annual earnings decline of 6.2% over the next few years. This aligns with recent fundamental challenges.
Technical Outlook: Technically, LHX is in a strong downtrend. The price is currently testing key support at $266.43. A bounce from this level would confirm strength, while a break below could signal further downside.
Market Sentiment: LHX scores 32/100 on our bottoming-setup gauge. Note this measures entry quality, not trend direction — a low score can mean the chart is extended after a strong run (don't chase) or still falling without stabilization; better entries typically come after a pullback toward the 20-day average. Wall Street analysts see significant upside, with an average price target of $341.73 (+28.1%). Current signals suggest waiting for a better entry point before initiating new positions.
