Elbit Systems: Strong Q1, But Valuation Still Looks Stretched

Summary Elbit Systems delivered strong Q1 2026 results, with revenue up 15.5% YoY and a record $30.2B backlog, 71% international. Non-GAAP EPS beat by $0.54, margins expanded to 10.1%, and free cash flow remained robust despite increased capex and R&D investment. ESLT trades at a steep premium—51x earnings and 32x EV/EBITDA—reflecting high expectations for sustained growth, margin strength, and backlog conversion.

Can Elbit Systems Win In The Swords Of Iron War In Israel?

Summary The war in the Middle East presents both opportunities and drawbacks for Elbit Systems Ltd., with increased demand but also labor and logistics pressures. Elbit Systems has shown strong growth in backlog and adjusted operating income, but operating margins have weakened. Near-term demand and labor costs driven by the war are important factors to watch, but the company can rely on long-term global demand trends. Read the full article on Seeking Alpha

Elbit Systems Is Much Too Risky

Summary From an ESG perspective, Elbit Systems carries too much risk, even by the standards of the weapons industry.
