Leidos Hld (LDOS) Stock Forecast & Price Target
Leidos Hld (LDOS) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
Leidos Holdings is expected to continue its strong momentum in the coming years thanks to its strong positioning in its core markets and focus on expanding into new emerging markets such as space, energy infrastructure, and managed health services. The recently closed acquisition of Entrust and the company's focus on investments and capital allocation also bodes well for future growth. While the company faces some near-term headwinds in its health segment, we believe the long-term outlook remains positive and view the current valuation as attractive.
Bears say
Leidos Holdings is facing significant headwinds in the current government funding environment and potential challenges with contract awards and staffing. Along with a slower-than-expected ramp-up of contract awards, the company is also facing growing competitive pricing pressure from government initiatives. This has led to a decline in margins and earnings in the National Security & Digital, Health & Civil, and Defense Systems segments in the last quarter. Additionally, the book-to-bill ratio for the quarter was below 1.0x and the company's backlog is heavily dependent on the U.S. government's direct support. Based on these challenges, along with the potential for further budget disruptions and cybersecurity threats, the financial analyst has a negative outlook on Leidos Holdings' stock.
