Price vs fair value Price trades at a discount of 32.30% versus the analyst mean target of 337.13. - Citi calls the dip a buying opportunity amid SpaceX-related concerns (Citi, 2026-09-01). - Analysts debate relative value versus General Dynamics (GD or HWM: Which Is the Better Value Stock Right Now?, 2026-09-02). - SpaceX expansion into adjacent sectors cited as a competitive threat (How SpaceX’s Speed and Ambition Are Threatening Legacy Defense and Telecom, 2026-09-01).
Looking forward Forward P/E 51.02 and PEG 3.84 suggest rich valuation despite strong fundamentals. Execution in aerospace cycles and defense diversification will be key to closing the valuation gap.
