- Tue28Jul
Actual outcome: Bull · $130.11 at outcome
Leidos (LDOS) reported an EPS actual of 2.81, matching the estimate, but the stock rose 10.3% due to positive cash flow dynamics and strategic clarity. The market reacted favorably to improved cash flow and a reshaped value profile, signaling stability and long-term direction despite the neutral earnings report.
- Tue5May
Actual outcome: Mixed · $137.19 at outcome
Leidos delivered a strong first quarter, beating EPS and revenue estimates while raising its full-year 2026 guidance on the back of solid demand and a $48.4 billion backlog. The company also announced major wins shortly after, including a $2.7 billion hypersonic weapons contract with the U.S. Army. Despite these highly positive fundamental developments, the stock remained completely flat through the outcome date, resulting in a mixed outcome as the market had likely already priced in the strong performance.
- Tue17Feb
Actual outcome: Bull · $171.69 at outcome
Leidos reported Q4 EPS that exactly met estimates at $2.53, while revenue missed Wall Street expectations due to a six-week U.S. government shutdown that temporarily weighed on orders. The stock rallied 6.3% following the release, as the market treated the top-line shortfall as a transient, shutdown-driven headwind rather than a reflection of underlying demand.
