Leidos Holdings ( (LDOS) ) has provided an announcement.
On April 14, 2026, Leidos’ subsidiary Leidos Inc. signed a contribution and equity purchase agreement with Altaris affiliates to create a U.S.-based joint venture that combines Leidos’ Security Enterprise Solutions and Industrial Automation operations with Altaris portfolio company Analogic. The transaction, expected to close in the second half of 2026 subject to regulatory approvals and other customary conditions, will leave Leidos with a 41.5% stake and Altaris affiliates with 58.5%, funded in part by new debt at the joint venture.
The new company, to operate under the Analogic brand, will pool advanced detection technologies, manufacturing capacity and engineering talent to strengthen security screening for airports, borders and critical infrastructure worldwide. Leidos plans to contribute about 1,500 employees and an estimated $625 million in projected 2026 revenue to the venture, positioning it to accelerate AI-native and 3D imaging solutions while allowing Leidos to redirect capital toward core growth priorities under its NorthStar 2030 strategy.
