BigBear.ai (BBAI), a U.S.-based company that builds AI-driven solutions, is drawing investor interest amid growing focus on defense-related AI stocks. The stock jumped more than 10% yesterday and is up roughly 60% so far in 2025. That momentum has been supported by a series of new contracts and partnerships in recent months, adding to optimism ahead of its second-quarter earnings, which are due August 11 after market close.

Still, the company is in the early stages of proving its long-term potential. BigBear.ai is yet to deliver consistent profitability, and its ongoing cash burn, coupled with market volatility, makes it a high-risk, high-reward play heading into Q2.
What to Watch on August 11
Wall Street analysts expect BBAI to report a loss per share of $0.06 for Q2 compared to a loss of $0.05 in the same quarter last year. Meanwhile, analysts project Q2 revenues at $40.59 million, according to the TipRanks Analyst Forecasts Page.
For the full year, the company expects revenue between $160 million and $180 million, reflecting slow but steady progress.
While bulls believe the company is well-positioned to benefit from rising demand for mission-critical AI tools, the company’s financials have yet to show consistent revenue or earnings growth.
