Rhea AI LDOS FY2026

Higher contract profitability and light reinvestment needs turned modest growth into faster cash generation and wider margins.

From FY2023 to FY2026, operating margin expanded from 4.0% to 12.3% even though revenue growth was far less dramatic, which points to better gross profit capture and fixed-cost absorption rather than simple volume growth. Free cash flow then reached $1.6B on only $125M of capex, showing that the recovery was cash-backed in an asset-light operating model.

Cash conversion quality is stronger than GAAP earnings alone imply: in FY2023, net income dropped to $199M while free cash flow still held at $980M. That suggests the 2023 profit slump was more of an earnings compression episode than a collapse in the company's underlying cash engine.

Liquidity and leverage improved by FY2026, with the current ratio at 1.7x and debt-to-equity down to 0.9x, so near-term financing pressure looks lower than earlier in the period. Goodwill still represents about half the asset base, with $6.3B sitting inside $13.5B of assets, which shows how acquisition-heavy the balance sheet remains.

Profitability
45

Growth
42

Leidos Holdings's revenue grew a modest 3.1% year-over-year to $17.2B. This slow but positive growth earns a score of 42/100.

Leverage
78

Leidos Holdings carries a low D/E ratio of 1.20, meaning only $1.20 of long-term debt for every $1 of shareholders' equity. This conservative leverage earns a score of 78/100, indicating a strong balance sheet with room for future borrowing.

Liquidity
23

Leidos Holdings's current ratio of 1.40 is below the typical benchmark, resulting in a score of 23/100. This tight liquidity could limit financial flexibility if cash inflows slow.

46

Leidos Holdings has a free cash flow margin of 9.5%, earning a moderate score of 46/100. The company generates positive cash flow after capital investments, but with room for improvement.

Earnings Quality Cash-Backed
1.21x

Interest Coverage Safe
10.4x
