Bulls Say
Contract AwardsIn UK Defence, QinetiQ was awarded a five-year, £1.5bn extension to LTPA as previously disclosed with the FY25 results.
Order BookQinetiQ commenced the year with higher-than-usual order book cover, currently at 70% compared to an average of 62% over the past four years.
Strategic FocusThe sale aligns with the revised US Strategy to focus on more stable and growth-oriented sectors such as maritime systems, advanced sensors, space and missile defence mission support, and persistent surveillance.
Bears Say
Earnings SkewThere appears to be a greater 1H/2H skew than is currently evident in consensus, implying 1H26F EBITA of c£95m vs VA at £105m.
Financial ConsiderationThe consideration from the sale is not material at US$31m.
Trading UpdateQinetiQ's 1Q Trading Update is light on specific detail, as expected, however it is slightly disappointing not to see what the current level of revenue cover is for the group's FY26F revenue expectation.
