Elbit Systems: War Premium Builds, But Capacity Caps The Upside

Elbit Systems (ESLT) remains a Buy, supported by strong demand, a robust $28.1B backlog, and exposure to conflict-driven defense spending. 2025 results show 16% revenue growth, 34% operating profit increase, and 46% EPS growth, with margin expansion in key land and ISTAR segments. Capacity constraints limit near-term revenue acceleration despite surging backlog; investments in European drone and ammunition production are underway.
