General Dynamics Corporation reported first-quarter 2022 earnings per share of $2.61, surpassing the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 4.8%. The company achieved revenues of $9.392 billion, exceeding predictions of $8,977.3 million. However, its total backlog decreased by 0.4% to $87.23 billion, reflecting challenges such as expected poor segmental performance and lower delivery rates. Despite these concerns, the stock rose 1.3% following the earnings announcement, bolstered by a significant $661.6 million task order awarded to General Dynamics Information Technology.
