Investment thesis

Science Applications International's perfect four-quarter earnings beat streak with an average 38.6% positive surprise and a PEG of 0.12 make a compelling valuation case, but near-complete revenue concentration in U.S. government contracts creates binary risk from budget negotiations and program cancellations.

About Science Applications Internatio

About Science Applications Internatio

Science Applications International Corporation generated revenues with 98% attributable to US government contracts in fiscal 2026, split approximately 52% from the Department of War and 46% from intelligence and other federal agencies. The company served customers through roughly 1,700 active contracts and task orders as of January 30, 2026, employing approximately 23,000 people — more than 25% of whom are active military or veterans. On October 15, 2025, the company acquired SilverEdge Government Solutions to expand mission-focused technology capabilities.

SAIC earns revenue under cost-reimbursable (62% of fiscal 2026 revenues), time-and-materials (22%), and firm-fixed price (16%) contracts — a mix that generally yields lower margins than FFP-heavy peers. The company's two reportable segments are Defense and Intelligence (serving the Department of War and Intelligence Community) and Civilian (serving federal, state, and local governments). Competitors named by the company include General Dynamics, Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Booz Allen Hamilton, Leidos, and CACI International in the defense IT space, as well as commercial providers Accenture, Deloitte, and IBM. The workforce holds predominantly active security clearances, a structural requirement for classified work that commercial entrants cannot rapidly replicate. Effective January 31, 2026, SAIC consolidated its five business groups into three as part of an internal reorganization designed to simplify operations.

Show full overview

SAIC's 98% US government revenue concentration means that continuing resolution periods — which prevent new spending initiatives — can delay contract awards and impair near-term cash flow. The 10-K specifically flags potential Department of Homeland Security funding impasse through September 30, 2026 as a scenario that could cause the company to incur labor costs without reimbursement. The DoW's new Acquisition Transformation Strategy, which prioritizes speed and may shift toward longer-term contract structures and R&D-based other transaction authority agreements, could reshape SAIC's competitive position on new awards. In June 2026, the company disclosed via Form 8-K the departure of its EVP for the Civilian Business Group in connection with this reorganization.
