Northrop Grumman Corp. said it raised its 2021 sales and transaction-adjusted earnings guidance after it reported higher first-quarter profit and sales.

The Falls Church, Va.-based weapons company on Thursday said it sees sales of $35.3 billion to $35.7 billion, compared with its prior outlook of $35.1 billion to $35.5 billion.

The company expects per-share earnings, adjusted for the effects of the divestiture of its information-technology services business, of $24 to $24.50. It previously expected transaction-adjusted earnings of $23.15 a share to $23.65 a share.
