Kratos Defense shares slipped today even as the company reported several notable contract and program wins. Some investors appear to be taking profits after the recent run-up, questioning how quickly these wins will translate into earnings.
The company said it completed the Space Development Agency’s AFCGI Critical Design Review ahead of schedule and secured a $61.07 million U.S. Navy deal for 70 BQM-177A aerial targets. Kratos is also ramping up hypersonics, engine production and factory capacity while pursuing targeted acquisitions to support future growth.
