Rating:74Outperform
Price Target:
$705.00
▲(10.46% Upside)
Score is driven primarily by strong financial performance and a positive earnings outlook with reaffirmed guidance and robust contract momentum. Offsetting these strengths is weak near-term technical momentum (below key moving averages with negative MACD and low RSI/Stoch), while valuation appears reasonable but not clearly discounted; corporate events are broadly positive but the ARKA deal adds execution/financing considerations.
Positive Factors
Strong Revenue Growth
Consistent revenue growth indicates strong demand for CACI's services and enhances its market position, supporting long-term business expansion.
Record Contract Awards
High contract awards reflect robust demand and strengthen CACI's revenue visibility, ensuring sustained growth and competitive advantage.
Strategic Acquisition
The ARKA acquisition expands CACI's capabilities in high-margin areas, bolstering its competitive edge in the defense sector and driving future growth.
Negative Factors
Increased Debt Levels
Rising debt levels from the ARKA acquisition could strain financial flexibility, impacting cash flow and increasing financial risk.
Government Shutdown Risk
Prolonged government shutdowns can disrupt revenue and cash flow, affecting CACI's ability to meet financial targets and operational stability.
Debt Covenant Restrictions
Covenant restrictions may limit CACI's financial strategy and flexibility, potentially hindering future investments and growth opportunities.

Caci International Earnings Call Summary

Earnings Call Date:Jan 21, 2026
(Q2-2026)
|
% Change Since: |
Next Earnings Date:Apr 29, 2026
Earnings Call Sentiment Positive
The call communicated strong operational and financial performance (qtr revenue growth, improved margin, higher free cash flow, raised FY guidance, larger technology mix and robust backlog/pipeline) while acknowledging near-term timing and timing-related risks from the government shutdown, award cadence/protests, and a temporary increase in leverage tied to the ARCA acquisition. Management presented these challenges as manageable and reflected them in guidance while emphasizing long-term growth opportunities, particularly in electronic warfare, enterprise technology, and government modernization programs.
Q2-2026 Updates
Positive Updates
Revenue Growth in Q2
Generated $2.2B in revenue in Q2, up 5.7% year-over-year, with 4.5% organic growth.
Improved Profitability and Margins
Reported an EBITDA margin of 11.8% in the quarter, an increase of 70 basis points year-over-year.
Strong EPS Performance
Second-quarter adjusted diluted EPS of $6.81, up 14% versus prior year.
Free Cash Flow and Upgraded Guidance
Q2 free cash flow of $138M; raised FY2026 free cash flow guidance to at least $725M and increased full-year revenue guidance to $9.3B–$9.5B (7.8%–10.1% growth).
Backlog, Awards and Book-to-Bill
Won $1.4B of awards in the quarter; trailing-12-month book-to-bill of 1.3x (Q2 book-to-bill 0.65x for the quarter); backlog of $33B, up 3% year-over-year, with funded backlog up 7%.
Technology Mix and Strategic Positioning
Technology now represents nearly 60% of revenue with a leading position in electronic warfare (~$2B revenue) and growing enterprise technology capabilities (three largest agile software programs in federal gov).
Pipeline and Future Opportunities
Reported $6B of bids under evaluation and plans to submit ~$20B of additional bids over the next two quarters; over 70% of current pipeline and planned bids are for new business.
Operational Metrics and Efficiency Gains
Day Sales Outstanding of 57 days; CBP modernization example showed nearly 200% increase in software releases over five years and like-for-like cost reductions, demonstrating operational impact.
Negative Updates
Government Shutdown Impacted Timing
Protracted government shutdown caused uneven post-shutdown activity, delayed program timing and government material purchases in Q2, contributing to a lower quarterly book-to-bill of 0.65x.
Near-Term Award Cadence and Ramp Uncertainty
Some recently won large programs are still in development phases and have multi-year ramp profiles, meaning a portion of growth will occur in later fiscal years rather than immediately.
Short-Term Increase in Leverage from Acquisition
Net leverage was 2.4x at quarter end but is expected to increase to ~4.3x upon closing the ARCA acquisition, introducing near-term leverage risk despite plans to delever to low-threes within ~6 quarters.
Persistent Award Decision Lag & Protests
Slow rebound in award decisions and outstanding contract protests (some resolved, others pending) created timing uncertainty for revenue recognition on certain programs.
Interest Expense and Tax Headwinds
Higher interest expense and a higher income tax provision partially offset operating gains, although adjusted EPS still improved year-over-year.
Dependence on Government Funding Cadence
Company performance is exposed to timing/amount uncertainty around reconciliation and appropriations funding (e.g., Golden Dome/reconciliation flows) which affects near-term visibility.
Material Purchase Timing Effects on Near-Term Mix
Delayed government material purchases affected Q2 product/technology mix and contributed to some short-term margin/mix variability, though management included these impacts in guidance.
Company Guidance
CACI raised fiscal 2026 guidance, now calling for revenue of $9.3–$9.5 billion (total growth 7.8%–10.1%, including just under 2 points from acquisitions), an EBITDA margin of 11.7%–11.8%, adjusted net income of $630–$645 million, adjusted EPS of $28.25–$28.92 (up 7%–9%), and free cash flow of at least $725 million (implying ~65% growth in free cash flow per share); management said Q3 revenue is aligned with consensus and second‑half EBITDA margin should mirror the first half. These targets rest on strong Q2 results (revenue $2.2B, +5.7% y/y and +4.5% organic; EBITDA margin 11.8%, +70 bps y/y; adjusted EPS $6.81, +14%; FCF $138M; DSO 57 days), healthy backlog ($33B, +3% y/y; funded backlog +7%; weighted average award duration >6 years), awards of $1.4B in the quarter (book‑to‑bill 0.65x Q2, 1.4x H1, 1.3x TTM), a $6B pipeline under evaluation plus ~$20B of bids expected over the next two quarters (70%+ new business), and a Q2 net leverage of 2.4x (expected to rise to ~4.3x on ARCA close and return to the low threes within six quarters).

Caci International Financial Statement Overview

Summary
Solid profitability and scale (TTM revenue ~$9.0B) with steady margins and decent ROE (~13%). Offsetting factors are material leverage (historically ~0.5x–0.8x debt-to-equity) and a recent step-down in free cash flow (TTM FCF down ~19%), which increases sensitivity to execution and funding conditions.
Income Statement
85
Very Positive
TTM (Trailing-Twelve-Months) revenue is $9.0B with strong reported growth (about 136%), and profitability remains solid for an IT services business (EBITDA margin ~11.4%, net margin ~5.7%). Margins have been fairly steady over time, but they have not meaningfully expanded versus prior years and remain in a mid-single-digit net range, which limits upside if costs rise.
Balance Sheet
78
Positive
The company shows healthy profitability on equity (TTM return on equity ~13%), and equity has grown versus earlier years, supporting balance-sheet resilience. However, leverage is a notable watch item: debt-to-equity has generally been elevated (mid-0.5x to mid-0.8x in the annual data), implying less flexibility if rates stay higher or acquisitions/integration require more capital.
Cash Flow
82
Very Positive
Cash generation is positive with TTM (Trailing-Twelve-Months) operating cash flow of ~$558M and free cash flow of ~$496M, and free cash flow is high relative to net income (~0.90x), suggesting earnings convert well to cash. The key weakness is the recent free-cash-flow decline (TTM down ~19%) and only moderate cash coverage relative to accounting profits in the provided data, pointing to some working-capital or timing volatility.

Dec 30, 2025

On December 24, 2025, longtime director William L. Jews notified CACI International that he would resign from its board effective December 31, 2025, after nearly 13 years of service, with the company emphasizing that his departure did not stem from any disagreement over operations, policies, or practices. On December 29, 2025, the board moved to fill the vacancies created by Jews’ resignation and the July 2025 death of director Michael A. Daniels by appointing retired U.S. Navy Admiral Michael Gilday and former Northrop Grumman chief financial officer David Keffer as independent directors, effective January 1, 2026, in a move that bolsters CACI’s board with deep military, cyber, and financial leadership experience as the company positions itself to address evolving national security threats and enhance shareholder value; both appointees will serve until the next annual shareholders’ meeting and will receive the standard compensation for non-employee directors.
