Aggressive Share Repurchases and Capital Returns
Deployed $754 million in share repurchases in 2025 (management also cited $754M and CFO noted over $750M), producing an ~11% reduction in float; additional $335 million repurchased to-date in 2026; company plans ~$1.4 billion of repurchases for full-year 2026 (including $400M in first two months).
Strong New Awards and Backlog
Consolidated new awards for 2025 totaled $12.0 billion, 87% reimbursable. Segment new awards: Urban $8.7B, Energy Solutions $1.4B, Mission $1.8B. Ending backlog by segment: Urban $18.7B, Energy Solutions $4.6B, Mission $2.2B (total backlog >$25B).
