The score is held down primarily by weak financial performance (losses and negative TTM cash flow with meaningful leverage). Technicals are also soft with the price below key longer-term moving averages and a negative MACD. The earnings call provides some support via improving non-GAAP margins and strong License & Support trends, but near-term revenue decline and continued pension-related cash demands keep risk elevated.
Positive Factors
Improving non‑GAAP margins
Sustained non‑GAAP margin expansion reflects structural cost discipline and higher‑value mix. Higher operating margins improve long‑term cash conversion and give management room to prioritize profitable renewals and invest in AI/automation despite top‑line pressure.
Negative Factors
Negative trailing cash flow
Persistent TTM cash burn curtails strategic optionality and increases reliance on the balance sheet or external funding. If pre‑pension cash improvements slip, ongoing negative operating/free cash flow will pressure liquidity and constrain investments or buybacks over the medium term.

Unisys Earnings Call Summary
Earnings Call Date:Feb 24, 2026
(Q4-2025)
| % Change Since: |
Next Earnings Date:May 06, 2026
Earnings Call Sentiment Neutral
The call presented a mixed but pragmatic view: clear operational and financial progress on profitability, cash generation (pre-pension), L&S performance, backlog/TCV, pension de‑risking, AI product rollout, and notable analyst recognition. These positives were balanced by top-line pressure (FY revenue decline and 2026 revenue guidance), a large drop in new business TCV (−38%), XLNS margin/volume headwinds, PC- and public-sector-related softness, and a significant GAAP loss driven by pension-related items and discretionary pension cash use. Management emphasized continued execution, conservative near-term guidance, and a multi-year path to remove U.S. pension volatility by 2029.Positive Updates
Improved Profitability and Margins
Non-GAAP operating margin of 18% in Q4 and 9.1% for FY2025 (30 bps annual improvement); Q4 gross margin 33.9% (up 180 bps YoY). Full-year non-GAAP operating profit margin exceeded top end of revised guidance.
Negative Updates

Company Guidance
Unisys guided FY2026 total revenue to decline 6.5%–4.5% in constant currency (≈ −3.8% to −1.8% reported at Feb 1 FX) with XLNS revenue down 7%–4.5% CC, and expects full‑year License & Support revenue of $415M at ~70% gross margin (L&S averaging ~$400M in 2027–28). They see non‑GAAP operating margin of 9%–11% (including 100–200 bps of ex‑L&S gross‑margin improvement and modest absolute OpEx reductions) and model Q1 revenue at ≈ $415M with ≈ $60M of L&S (L&S weighted ~30% in H1 / 70% in H2, Q3 largest), implying a slightly positive Q1 non‑GAAP operating margin. Cash flow and balance‑sheet assumptions include full‑year free cash flow ≈ −$25M (pre‑pension FCF +$67M), capex ≈ $85M, cash taxes ≈ $70M, net interest ≈ $70M, other payments ≈ $30M, post‑retirement contributions ≈ $92M (≈ $87M pension + $5M other) with ≈ $17M in Q1, and ~ $350M of remaining cash pension contributions forecast through 2029 as the company pursues full U.S. pension removal; they also expect to reduce SG&A by $10M–$20M in 2026.Unisys Financial Statement Overview
