A Closer Look At BAE Systems plc

VIDEO: Two Fools put BAE Systems plc (LON:BA) under the spotlight.

Posted by
Jill Ralph
After more than 5 years with The Motley Fool's publishing business in the U.S., Jill packed up and moved to London in the Spring of 2011 to join the team as Managing Director. It didn't take her long to start complaining about the weather. When she's not taking advantage of the generous 'free book' program at work, she enjoys studying and writing about companies of all shapes and sizes, with a particular interest in the people running those businesses and refusing to play by the rules. Before joining the Fool, Jill spent 5 years in the publishing industry, working on the news team for a regional newspaper as well as Managing Editor of a niche B-to-B magazine.

Shares of BAE Systems (LSE: BA) (NASDAQOTH: BAESY.US) have been in the wars lately, as its latest results revealed that revenues fell £700m below analyst forecasts, sending the share price down 10% on the day. Here, Jill Ralph asks analyst Nate Weisshaar to take a closer look at the company — with a stonking yield of 4.9%, could this be a buying opportunity?
