12 Industrials Stocks Moving In Tuesday's Intraday Session

After Monday&#8217;s broad-based sell-off — triggered by renewed pressure from President Donald Trump on Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell, raising concerns over the integrity of central bank independence — Wall Street bounced back with strength on Tuesday, buoyed by upbeat signals from <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/earnings">the corporate earnings season.</a>
By midday in New York, major indices were up by nearly 3%, with all 11 sectors of the S&amp;P 500 trading in positive territory. Consumer discretionary stocks led the rally.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average surged over 1,000 points, breaking above the 39,200 mark, as bullish momentum swept across Wall Street. Only a few S&amp;P 500 stocks remained in negative territory.
At a JPMorgan-hosted event in Washington, U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent hinted at a potential de-escalation in tensions with China, further supporting risk sentiment.
Shares of Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) surged nearly 5% as investors looked ahead to the company's first-quarter earnings report, due after the closing bell.
In the bond market, after two sessions of rising Treasury yields, a modest pullback suggested some investors saw an opportunity to buy as long-dated yields neared the 5% threshold.
On the commodities front, gold briefly touched $3,500 per ounce overnight before retreating to $3,420 amid an improvement in equity market sentiment. Oil jumped 2.3%, with WTI crude reaching $64 per barrel, while copper gained 2.8%.
The cryptocurrency market also reflected a broader risk-on mood. Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) rallied 4% to $91,000, while Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>) advanced more than 7% to $1,700.

Crude Oil Gains 3%; 3M Posts Better-Than-Expected Q1 Results

Northrop Grumman Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NOC#NYSE">NOC</a>) shares are moving lower Tuesday after the company reported first-quarter financial results that came up short of analyst estimates and lowered its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/04/g44918157/northrop-grumman-releases-first-quarter-2025-financial-results">full-year earnings guidance</a>.
Q1 Earnings: Northrop Grumman reported first-quarter revenue of $9.47 billion, missing analyst <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/earnings">estimates</a> of $9.94 billion, according to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro</a>. The aerospace and defense company reported first-quarter adjusted earnings of $6.06 per share, missing analyst estimates of $6.26 per share. 
Total sales were down 7% in the first quarter due to lower Space Systems sales and lower Aeronautics systems sales. 
Aeronautics sales decreased 8% year-over-year primarily due to lower sales on B-21 and other restricted programs, as well as a decrease in F-35 sustainment volume. Defense Systems sales increased 4% year-over-year, primarily due to continued ramp of the Sentinel program and higher volume on certain military ammunition programs. 
Mission Systems revenue increased 6% year-over-year, while Space Systems revenue fell 18% on a year-over-year basis.
Net awards for the first quarter totaled $10.8 billion. The company said it had a new record backlog of $92.8 billion at the end of the quarter. 
"Global demand for our products remains strong, which is reflected in our record first quarter backlog, and we are making significant progress on our key programs," said Kathy Warden, chair, president and CEO of Northrop Grumman.
"The Northrop Grumman team remains committed to driving innovation to meet our customers' priorities, expanding our market presence and optimizing performance to deliver profitable, sustainable growth. Given this, we are reaffirming our sales and free cash flow guidance for the year."

Guidance: Northrop Grumman expects full-year 2025 revenue of $42 billion to $42.5 billion versus estimates of $42.32 billion. The company anticipates full-year free cash flow of $2.85 billion to $3.25 billion. 
Despite reaffirming its outlook for revenue and free cash flow, shares appear to be reacting negatively to the company&#8217;s lowered earnings outlook.
Northrop Grumman cut its full-year 2025 earnings outlook from a range of $27.85 to $28.25 to a new range of $24.95 to $25.35. Analysts had been forecasting full-year earnings of $28.09, according to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro</a>. 
&#8220;The company's financial guidance and outlook for 2025 and beyond reflect what the company currently anticipates will be the impacts on the company from, among other factors, the global macroeconomic, security, and political/budget environments, including the impacts from inflationary pressures and labor and supply chain challenges; changes in the threat environment; changes in government budget, appropriations and procurement priorities and processes; the continuing resolution; changes in the regulatory environment, including trade policy; and changes in support for our programs,&#8221; the company said.
NOC Price Action: <a href="http://benzinga.com/quote/noc">Northrop Grumman shares</a> were down 8.91% at $484.00 at the time of publication Tuesday morning, according to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benzinga Pro</a>.

Earnings Scheduled For April 22, 2025

Three major U.S. defense contractors — RTX Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RTX#NYSE">RTX</a>), Northrop Grumman Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NOC#NYSE">NOC</a>) and Lockheed Martin Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LMT#NYSE">LMT</a>) — are all scheduled to report earnings before the market opens on Tuesday. Here's a look at what to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/25/04/44810625/top-analyst-sees-unprecedented-traction-for-pltr-stock-after-nato-agreement-another-validation-sign">watch in the reports. </a>
What To Know: The Trump administration has signaled potentially historic defense spending, with reports suggesting a Pentagon budget near $1 trillion, which could benefit all three contractors. However, President Donald Trump has sent mixed messages by advocating for increased allied purchases of U.S. weapons while discussing the possibility of cutting U.S. military spending. 
The administration's push for efficiency, led by Elon Musk at the Department of Government Efficiency, introduces more uncertainty for defense contractors, as many major programs are under review.

RTX: Investors will be looking for continued growth in RTX's Collins Aerospace and Pratt &amp; Whitney units, which both recently announced a slew of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/contracts/25/04/44686376/rtx-pops-as-pratt-whitney-expands-gtf-capacity-collins-aerospace-enhances-offerings">new deals </a>and led 2024's gains.
The company's backlog will also be monitored for continued growth after reaching a record $218 billion at the end of 2024.&nbsp;
According to estimates from <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/?gspk=YWRhbWVja2VydDUzMzY&amp;gsxid=zBMR4PKmcgBw">Benzinga Pro</a>, analysts expect the company to report earnings of $1.35 per share and revenue of $19.79 billion for the quarter.&nbsp;
NOC: Investors will be watching the performance of Northrop&#8217;s four main business segments: Aeronautics Systems, Defense Systems, Mission Systems and Space Systems, as well as updates on 2025 revenue and free cash flow guidance. 
Current expectations are for revenue between $42 billion and $42.5 billion and free cash flow of between $2.9 billion and $3.3 billion.&nbsp;
Earlier in April, Goldman Sachs analyst Noah Poponak upgraded Northrop Grumman stock from Sell to Neutral and raised the price target from $424 to $521. Analysts expect the company to report earnings of $6.26 per share on revenue of $9.94 billion, according to estimates from <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/?gspk=YWRhbWVja2VydDUzMzY&amp;gsxid=zBMR4PKmcgBw">Benzinga Pro</a>. 
LMT: Last week, Evan Scott <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44867490/evan-scott-takes-over-as-lockheed-martin-cfo-succeeding-jesus-jay-malave">was named </a>as Lockheed Martin's CFO, succeeding Jesus Malave, effective immediately. In a press release, the company said it will be reaffirming its previously issued 2025 guidance and will provide updates on other key topics and answer questions with its first quarter earnings release. 
Investors will be watching the company's Aeronautics segment, driven by the F-35 program, which is expected to post solid sales. Analysts expect Lockheed Martin to report earnings of $6.34 per share on revenue of $17.8 billion for the first quarter.

Wedbush analyst Daniel Ives reiterated confidence in Palantir Technologies Inc.&#8216;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NASDAQ">PLTR</a>) growth prospects after the software firm disclosed a deal with the North Atlantic Treaty Organization amid its growing &#8220;federal and commercial&#8221; portfolio.
What Happened: Ives said in a X post that Palantir remains one of Wedbush's "top names,&#8221; and the firm&#8217;s deal with NATO presents an opportunity for the software maker to &#8220;capitalize on.&#8221;
He highlighted that the deal was "another validation sign" for the PLTR as it continues "to generate unprecedented traction for its entire portfolio across both federal and commercial."

Ives reshared Shay Boloor's post, a podcast host at Stockwits, who pointed out that the defense sector was "evolving" after the NATO and PLTR deal, which also uplifted all the defense stocks. However, the stocks were lower in premarket on Tuesday.

Why It Matters: On Monday, NATO and Palantir announced the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/04/44792590/palantir-stock-jumps-9-after-nato-adopts-ai-system-for-military-ops">completion of NATO&#8217;s acquisition</a> of the Palantir Maven Smart System NATO (MSS NATO) for deployment within Allied Command Operations (ACO). The deal was made on March 25. However, the financial terms were not disclosed.
MSS NATO equips military commanders and warfighters with a secure artificial intelligence-powered platform for core operations. It enhances intelligence fusion, targeting, battlespace awareness, and planning, enabling faster decision-making through diverse AI applications.
The Supreme Headquarters Allied Powers Europe (SHAPE) intends to leverage MSS NATO to accelerate the adoption of other advanced technologies developed across NATO, signifying a strong North American and European tech partnership.
The U.S. military already utilizes Palantir&#8217;s Maven technology, a system that was further supported by a $99.8 million five-year contract awarded last September.
Price Action: PLTR rose 1.18% in premarket to $93.71 apiece, whereas Invesco QQQ Trust, Series 1 (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>), the exchange-traded fund tracking the Nasdaq 100 index, was up 0.16% to $458.22.
Benzinga Edge Stock Rankings indicate that PLTR has a weaker price trend over the short term, while it has stayed strong over the medium and long term. Its momentum ranking was solid at the 99.25th percentile, whereas its growth and value rankings were mixed; more details on the fundamentals are <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/premium/ideas/benzinga-edge-2#:~:text=Turn%20Market%20Chaos,when%20markets%20rebound">available here</a>.
