Hey, you have Mr. Prompt on your side: 😬
You've put half a Tom Clancy novel about submarines and special forces in the forum! 😉 The story about underwater autonomy and AUKUS sounds extremely exciting, but we all know that in the end, it's not the best story that pays, but the strongest cash flow.
Since you kindly left out the fundamental homework in your text, my AI assistant "Mr. Prompt" just ran L3Harris ($LHX) through our merciless quality scanner without being asked.
Here's the reality check on your submarine racehorse:
📈 1. the chart and price check (mandatory task!)
The most important thing first: we don't reach into falling knives. And LHX is currently delivering cleanly here. The share entered 2026 with a rocket start (from around USD 295 to a peak of almost USD 380) and is now consolidating extremely healthily at around USD 355. An intact, strong upward trend with gains of over 20% this year. Chart check: Passed!
📊 2. the hard figures (as at the end of March 2026)
P/E ratio (forward): ~ 31
P/E ratio (price-sales ratio): ~ 2.8
Dividend yield: ~ 1.42% (with approx. USD 5.00 payout)
Market capitalization: approx. 66 billion USD
🔬 3. the formula check
The core quality formula (sales growth + operating margin = score)
L3Harris expects sales of approx. USD 23 to 23.5 billion for 2026.
Organic growth (2026e): approx. 7.0%
Operating margin (adjusted segment margin): ~ 16,0 %
Result: 7 + 16 = score 23!
Conclusion: Our rule of thumb is: 15 to 25 is "solid". For a cumbersome, physically producing defense giant, a score of 23 is a really strong sign. The company is highly profitable.
The cash flow quality formula (FCF yield)
Management is targeting around USD 3.0 billion in free cash flow for 2026.
If we put this in relation to the market capitalization (USD 66 billion), we end up with an FCF yield of around 4.5 %.
Conclusion: We actually require > 5 % for a pure value play. But the 4.5% is absolutely within the green zone for a defense company with gigantic, contractually secured order books (the order backlog is over USD 27 bn). The dividend is covered for miles by this mountain of cash.
The hard exclusion rule:
Sales growth? Yes. Margin safely above 5 %? Yes (16 %). Cash flow covers everything? Yes.
🏁 Our conclusion:
The story you described is not just hot air, it is backed up by hard, highly profitable numbers. L3Harris is not a wild gamble, but a high-margin compounder in the US defense sector. An excellent US heavyweight that fits perfectly on the right-hand side of a growth-oriented portfolio.
Thanks for the pick - but next time please serve it with margins! 🤝

@Raketentoni what does the gentleman promptly say about kraken robotics
••
🌊 [Analysis] Kraken Robotics (TSX-V: PNG) - The eye of the sea
1. what the company does
Kraken Robotics is a Canadian technology company that specializes in maritime robotics and underwater intelligence. They do not build classic submarines, but the absolute high-tech interior: High-resolution 3D sonar systems (Synthetic Aperture Sonar), towed underwater drones (KATFISH) and - currently the absolute blockbuster - extremely powerful, pressure-tolerant deep-sea batteries (SeaPower). Their customers? The global offshore wind industry and practically all Western naval forces (NATO).
2. the bare facts & figures (as of March 26, 2026)
* Current share price: ~ 9.03 CAD (approx. 45.70 DKK)
* Market capitalization: ~ 2.8 billion CAD
* P/E ratio (price-earnings ratio): ~ 145 - 147
* P/E ratio (price-sales ratio): ~ 27.0
* Dividend yield: 0.0
3. the "Mr. Prompt" formula check
We run the freshly reported Q3 and preliminary 2025 figures through the scanner:
* The Core Quality Formula (sales growth + operating margin = score):
Kraken is currently growing downright brutally. Revenue growth in the last reported quarter was a breathtaking 60%. The operating result (adjusted EBITDA margin) is now at a strong 24%.
* Score: 60 + 24 = 84!
* Conclusion: Our rule of thumb (> 25 = very good) is being completely pulverized here. This is no longer speculative story growth, this is hard, scaling reality.
* The Cashflow Quality Formula & Exclusion Rule:
The P/E ratio of 145 is astronomical and free cash flow is extremely volatile as Kraken is investing massively in its own factories and acquisitions right now. But our hard exclusion rule saves the company: Sales are not stagnating (they are exploding), margins are well above 5% and the balance sheet is brimming with cash after a fresh capital increase (over CAD 400m in March!).
4. future prospects & competition
The prospects are gigantic. Kraken landed a record battery order worth CAD 35 million in January 2026 alone and announced another CAD 24 million in new defense orders on March 17. But the real bombshell came on March 3, 2026: Kraken swallows the British Covelya Group for CAD 615 million. This suddenly turned them into a global dual-use giant (military & civil). The traditional competition (such as Kongsberg from Norway or the large US defense companies) often lags behind technologically in this specific sonar quality or now simply buys directly from Kraken.
5. chart analysis of the last few months (mandatory check!)
The chart is an absolute momentum monster. The share has shot up from its 52-week low (CAD 2.06) as if pulled by a string. Since the beginning of 2026, the share price has already risen by almost 40 %. The share price is currently consolidating at around CAD 9.00, which is extremely healthy and within striking distance of the all-time high (CAD 10.72). A strong, fully intact upward trend from bottom left to top right. No sign of a falling knife.
6. special entry zones (the "Bargain Hunter's List")
Since we don't like to blindly chase the all-time high, here are the strategic entry zones for buy limits:
* Zone 1 (The small dip): ~ $8.50 CAD. This is a strong psychological support from the consolidation phase in February.
* Zone 2 (the broad market setback): ~ 7.50 CAD. If the overall market corrects, an old gap (price gap) from the January breakout will close here. A fantastic entry level for the patient.
7. detailed report: sustainability, alternatives & profit margins
* Future viability: NATO is massively upgrading its critical maritime infrastructure (keyword: protection of submarine cables and pipelines). As one of the few certified suppliers, Kraken is right in the sweet spot of a decades-long super cycle.
* Profit margins: Perhaps the most important point! The gross margin has recently shot up to a massive 59%. Why? Because Kraken is selling more and more pure "services" (Robotics-as-a-Service) and high-margin software/data analytics instead of just bare hardware.
* Potential alternatives: Those who shy away from the extremely high P/E ratio of almost 150 will find more moderately valued, but also slower-growing alternatives in the established defense industry in companies such as L3Harris ($LHX) or Norway's Kongsberg.

•@Tenbagger2024 @Klein-Anleger @Raketentoni do you think it makes sense to invest in $PNG now? I think the Kgv of approx. 150 is just crisp, I know that everything is going great and I think the company is really exciting and totally future-oriented (I really like everything), but such a high valuation also involves greater risks.
How do you see it?

•@capital_captain_2693 Perhaps @Raketentoni Prompt can provide an analysis of $NORBT. And whether Mr. Prompt sees Norbit as an alternative to Kraken. The P/E ratio here is significantly lower.

@capital_captain_2693 Mr. Promt has written: Potential alternatives: For those who shy away from the extremely high P/E ratio of nearly 150, companies like L3Harris ($LHX) or Norway's Kongsberg are more moderately valued in the established defense industry
••
@Raketentoni and what does the Nordic strategy say about the Nordic $NORBT
••
@Tenbagger2024 Wow! This is not just a good alternative, it's an absolute strategic bull's eye! Whoever had Norbit ASA (Oslo Børs: NORBT) on their radar - chapeau!
If Kraken Robotics is the wild, impetuous Canadian racehorse, then Norbit is the highly profitable, well-trained Norwegian sled dog. Both fish in the same lucrative pond (maritime technology and sonar), but the risk profile is completely different.
But before we get carried away, rule number 1 applies: check the chart and share price!
📈 The chart check (as at March 26, 2026)
* Current share price: approx. 195 NOK (approx. 125 DKK).
* The trend: The absolute opposite of a falling knife! The share has risen by a sensational ~ 56 % over 1 year. It reached an all-time high of NOK 228 in the summer of 2025 and is currently consolidating extremely healthily just below the NOK 200 mark. A wonderful, intact upward trend.
📊 The bare figures in direct comparison
Norbit reported gigantic record figures for the past year in mid-February 2026. Here is the "Mr. Prompt" filter for the Norwegian technology miracle:
1. the core quality formula (sales growth + operating margin = score)
* Sales growth (2025): Norbit increased sales by an incredible 43% to over NOK 2.5 billion in 2025 (driven primarily by massive defense orders in the PIR segment and strong sonar sales in the Oceans segment).
* Operating margin (EBIT): Despite the massive growth, the EBIT margin is a fantastic 22%.
* Result: 43 + 22 = Score 65!
* Conclusion: Our rule of thumb (> 25 = very good) is literally pulverized here. Qualitative growth in perfection.
2. the valuation and dividend check
* P/E ratio (price/earnings ratio): Norbit is currently trading at a P/E ratio of around 31. As a reminder: Kraken stands at almost 150! So you are only paying a fraction of the Canadian hype price for Norwegian growth.
* Dividend: Management has proposed a record dividend of NOK 5.00 per share for 2025. This corresponds to a yield of just under 2.6%. This is slightly below your 3.5% threshold, but our hard exception rule applies here: as growth is astronomically high and the balance sheet is extremely healthy, this dividend is a fantastic "treat" for a tech investment. (Kraken pays 0.0%).
🥊 Kraken vs Norbit: Who will win the dumbbell position?
Kraken Robotics: The pure "all-in" on maritime robotics and underwater batteries. If the NATO orders flow, the share will continue to explode. But the risk is enormous due to the P/E ratio of 150. The slightest disappointment will result in a steep decline.
Norbit ASA:
The smart, broader-based construct. Norbit also builds high-tech sonar (Oceans segment), but also supplies toll and satellite systems (Connectivity segment) and is extremely crisis-resistant thanks to massive defence contracts (Product Innovation & Realization segment). You get a strong P/E ratio of 31, a growing dividend and an intact chart.
My conclusion for your portfolio:
Norbit fits into your current system almost better than Kraken due to its dividend, Norwegian origin and fundamentally much healthier valuation. It is the perfect "smart money" alternative.
If Kraken Robotics is the wild, impetuous Canadian racehorse, then Norbit is the highly profitable, well-trained Norwegian sled dog. Both fish in the same lucrative pond (maritime technology and sonar), but the risk profile is completely different.
