Pattern Detected

Earnings and related filings have generally coincided with positive single-digit moves, suggesting the stock often reacts constructively to financial updates and backlog growth.

Recent Company History

Over the past year, ESLT’s earnings releases have consistently highlighted rising revenues, expanding order backlog, and growing demand tied to regional conflicts. Q1–Q3 2025 results all showed strong top-line gains and record backlogs, with mostly positive next-day moves. The 2024 annual results also produced a double‑digit gain following robust growth and a large backlog. Today’s FY 2025 release, featuring higher revenues, EPS and a $28.1B backlog, fits this pattern of strengthening fundamentals.

Average Historical Move earnings

In the last five earnings/annual updates, ESLT’s average next‑day move was about 3.47%. Today’s pre‑news gain of 0.39% was smaller than typical reactions to similar earnings catalysts.

Across Q1–Q3 2025 and the 2024 annual results, ESLT repeatedly reported double‑digit revenue growth and rising backlog levels, showing a steady progression of demand that this FY 2025 report extends with higher sales, EPS, and a larger order backlog.

Analysis

The stock surged +16.0% in the session following this news. A strong positive reaction aligns with ESLT’s history of upbeat responses to earnings, where revenue growth, margin expansion and backlog gains have often driven solid moves. With backlog at $28.1B and 2025 revenues of $7.9B, enthusiasm could build quickly, but past patterns suggest gains may moderate as contract awards and conflict-related demand are digested and investors reassess execution and geopolitical risks.

Key Terms

gaap, non-gaap, free cash flow, capex, +2 more

6 terms

gaap financial

"the Company is providing US-GAAP results as well as additional non-GAAP financial data"

GAAP, or Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, are a set of standardized rules and guidelines that companies follow when preparing their financial statements. They ensure consistency, transparency, and comparability across different companies, making it easier for investors to understand and compare financial information accurately. This helps investors make informed decisions based on trustworthy and uniform financial reports.

non-gaap financial

"US-GAAP results as well as additional non-GAAP financial data"

Non-GAAP refers to financial measures that companies use to show their earnings or performance without including certain expenses or income that are often added back to give a different picture. It matters because it can make a company's results look better or more favorable, but it may also hide important costs, so investors need to look at both GAAP (official rules) and non-GAAP numbers to get a full understanding.

free cash flow financial

"We also generated record Free Cash Flow of more than $550 million"

Free cash flow is the amount of money a company has left over after paying all its expenses and investing in its business, like buying equipment or updating facilities. It shows how much cash is available to reward shareholders, pay down debt, or save for future growth. This helps investors understand if a company is financially healthy and able to grow.

capex financial

"significant strategic CAPEX investments to address growing global capacity constraints"

Capex, short for capital expenditures, refers to the money a company spends to buy, upgrade, or maintain physical assets such as buildings, equipment, or technology. It matters to investors because these investments can help a company grow and improve its long-term performance, but they also represent significant costs that can impact profitability and cash flow.

c4i technical

"C4I and Cyber revenues increased by 19%, mainly due to sales of radio systems"

C4I stands for Command, Control, Communications, Computers and Intelligence — a set of systems that let military or security organizations collect information, share it quickly, and make coordinated decisions. For investors, C4I capability signals demand for specialized hardware, software and services from defense contractors; it's like the nervous system of an organization, and stronger systems can mean steadier government contracts and recurring revenue.

dircm technical

"including its Direct Infra-Red Counter-Measure (DIRCM) system, to a country in the Asia-Pacific"

Directed infrared countermeasures (DIRCM) are defensive systems that point a focused infrared beam at incoming heat-seeking missiles or sensors to confuse or blind their guidance, causing them to miss their target. For investors, DIRCM matters because sales, certifications, or export approvals for these high-tech systems can drive revenue, signal technological leadership, and affect risk in defense-related companies — think of it like a laser pointer that makes a tracking camera lose its lock.

Impact of the recent conflicts in the Middle East on the Company.

The war which began on October 7, 2023, continued throughout most of 2025, with ceasefires agreed to between Israel and Lebanon involving the conflict with Hezbollah in November 2024, and, after an intensified period of conflict that lasted 12 days, a ceasefire was declared with Iran in June 2025. A ceasefire with Hamas was agreed to in January 2025, and a subsequent ceasefire with Hamas was agreed to in October 2025. On February 28, 2026, Israel and the U.S. launched a joint attack on Iran named "Operation Roaring Lion" by Israel and "Operation Epic Fury" by the U.S., targeting key Iranian officials and targets. Iran launched attacks against Israel and at U.S. military bases across the region, including strikes in Bahrain, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Jordan. On March 2, 2026 Hezbollah launched an attack on Israel. The current situation remains uncertain.

Since the commencement of the war and the escalation of conflicts in the Middle East, Elbit Systems has experienced a continued material increase in the demand for its products and solutions from the Israel Ministry of Defense (IMOD) compared to the demand levels prior to the war. Such increased demand may continue and could generate material additional orders to the Company.

As a result of the war and the other conflicts in the Middle East, some of Elbit Systems' operations have experienced disruptions due to supply chain and operational constraints, including among others increases in transportation costs and delays due to factors such as the Houthi movement attacks on shipping in the Red Sea, material and component shortages and elevated prices, employee call-ups for reserve duty, limitations imposed by some countries on engagement with Israel and attacks on some of Elbit Systems' global facilities by anti-Israeli organizations.

Elbit Systems has taken various steps to protect its employees worldwide, to support increased production, to increase raw material and component inventories, to mitigate supply chain disruptions and to maintain business continuity. Following the ceasefire agreements described above, these operational effects on the Company have been reduced, however, in light of the recent escalation of conflicts involving Iran and Hezbollah, such effects on the Company's performance could increase again, depending on future developments that are difficult to predict at this time, including the duration and scope of these conflicts.

* Non-GAAP financial data:

The following non-GAAP financial data, including adjusted gross profit, adjusted operating income, adjusted net income, and adjusted diluted earnings per share, is presented to enable investors to have additional information on our business performance as well as a further basis for periodical comparisons and trends relating to our financial results. We believe such data provides useful information to investors and analysts by facilitating more meaningful comparisons of our financial results over time. The non-GAAP adjustments exclude amortization expenses of intangible assets related to acquisitions that occurred mainly in prior periods, capital gains related primarily to the sale of investments, restructuring activities, non-indemnified costs in respect to special circumstances, non-cash stock based compensation expenses, revaluations of investments in affiliated companies, non-operating foreign exchange gains or losses, one-time tax expenses, and the effect of tax on each of these items. Once the special circumstances in Israel ends, the company will discontinue the reconciliation of non–indemnified costs. We present these non-GAAP financial measures because management believes they supplement and/or enhance management's, analysts' and investors' overall understanding of the Company's underlying financial performance and trends and facilitate comparisons among current, past, and future periods.

Specifically, management uses adjusted gross profit, adjusted operating income, and adjusted net income attributable to the Company's shareholders to measure the ongoing gross profit, operating profit and net income performance of the Company because the measure adjusts for more significant non-recurring items, amortization expenses of intangible assets relating to prior acquisitions, and non-cash expense which can fluctuate year to year.

We believe adjusted gross profit, adjusted operating income, and adjusted net income attributable to the Company's shareholders are useful to existing shareholders, potential shareholders and other users of our financial information because they provide measures of the Company's ongoing performance that enable these users to perform trend analysis using comparable data.

Management uses adjusted diluted earnings per share to evaluate further adjusted net income attributable to the Company's shareholders while considering changes in the number of diluted shares over comparable periods.

We believe adjusted diluted earnings per share is useful to existing shareholders, potential shareholders and other users of our financial information because it also enables these users to evaluate adjusted net income attributable to Company's shareholders on a per-share basis.

The non-GAAP measures used by the Company are not based on any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles. We believe that non-GAAP measures have limitations in that they do not reflect all of the amounts associated with our results of operations, as determined in accordance with GAAP, and that these measures should only be used to evaluate our results of operations in conjunction with the corresponding GAAP measures.

Investors are cautioned that, unlike financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP, non-GAAP measures may not be comparable with the calculation of similar measures for other companies. They should consider non-GAAP financial measures in addition to, and not as replacements for or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.
