• [By Rich Smith]

  Even discounting Boeing as an "outlier," though, literally every other major defense firm in the U.S. far outclasses Northrop in the competition to win foreign business. Raytheon (NYSE: RTN  ) , essentially a pure-play military contractor, gets more than $1 in $4 from abroad -- 25.5%. General Dynamics (NYSE: GD  ) gets more than $1 in $5 (20.7%). Lockheed Martin (NYSE: LMT  ) does 17.1% of its business internationally.
