Third Time’s a Charm for Northrop Grumman Corporation
Northrop Grumman Corporation (NYSE:NOC) announced July 12 that current CEO Wes Bush would step aside as chief executive at the end of the year to be replaced by COO Kathy Warden. Under Bush’s leadership, NOC stock generated an annualized total return over eight-and-a-half years of 27.5%. Warden will be hard-pressed to deliver those kinds of numbers, but it’s important to point out that Bush’s tenure benefited greatly by taking over in January 2010, less than a year into the longest bull market in U.S. history.

[$$] Northrop CEO Wes Bush to Step Down at Year’s End
Wes Bush is stepping down as chief executive of Northrop Grumman Corp. at the end of the year and will be succeeded by Kathy Warden. The move had been anticipated after Ms. Warden was elevated to chief operating officer last year, but the change comes at a crucial time for the big defense contractor making the B-21 long-range bomber and parts of the F-35 fighter jet produced by Lockheed Martin Corp. Mr. Bush had led Northrop for nearly nine years, and the company has in recent months faced concerns about its ability to execute big programs following delays and cost over-runs in projects such as the James Webb Space Telescope.

Trump says ready to help some NATO states buy U.S. arms
U.S. President Donald Trump said on Thursday he was ready to help smaller NATO countries to buy U.S. weapons as he pushed them to spend more on their own defence. Speaking after a NATO summit, at which he said nations had agreed new spending pledges, Trump said some less wealthy members had asked during meetings in Brussels if he could help them buy U.S. arms equipment, but did not name the countries. Asked about pressures on countries with weaker finances, he said, "We have many wealthy countries with us today but we have some that aren't so wealthy and they did ask me if they could buy the military equipment, and could I help them out, and we will help them out a little bit," he told a news conference.
