Management attributes the 15% organic revenue growth to a 'trusted disruptor' strategy that combines the scale of a traditional prime with the agility of a tech startup. Performance was driven by a step change in the DoD budget request and urgent international modernization needs, particularly in Europe and the Indo-Pacific. Backlog nearly doubled to over $40 billion, providing two times revenue coverage and increasing long-term predictability for the business. Operational efficiency improved significantly, with revenue per employee increasing by approximately 25% due to productivity gains and AI investments. The company is purposefully pivoting toward high-growth priorities including space sensing, missile defense, and missionized aircraft ISR. Strategic portfolio shaping continues with the planned IPO of the missile solutions segment (Axyv) and the sale of a 60% stake in space propulsion. Management highlighted that 'capacity is the new capability,' emphasizing their proactive investments in manufacturing throughput ahead of customer demand. Full-year 2026 revenue guidance of $23 billion to $23.5 billion represents 7% organic growth at the midpoint. The 2028 financial framework remains the primary long-term anchor, supported by a $40 billion international ISR pipeline and expanding space opportunities. Management expects to finalize Munitions Acceleration Council (MAC) framework agreements shortly, targeting contract synergization by the end of the calendar year. Guidance currently excludes impacts from the pending Axyv IPO and the $1 billion Department of War investment, with updates expected upon transaction closures. Future growth in the resilient communications segment is underpinned by an installed base of 1 million radios, with plans to increase this by 20% over the next two years. Filed a confidential Form S-1 for the missile solutions segment IPO, which will be rebranded as Axyv (A-X-Y-V). Received a $1 billion investment from the Department of War in April to accelerate solid rocket motor capacity expansion. Segment margins in Missile Solutions were aided by a gain on the sale of legacy assets, which was partially offset by net unfavorable EAC adjustments. The shift to GAAP-only reporting for segment income and EPS is intended to enhance transparency and earnings quality. Our analysts just identified a stock with the potential to be the next Nvidia.

Management confirmed that SMS growth is driven by a decade of investment in missionized business jets and a dominant position in SDA competitions. The company can missionize commercial aircraft in 18 months, a speed they claim is 'unheard of' for military platforms. Negotiations are currently in the 'framework agreement' stage, acting as a term sheet for seven-year programs like PAC-3 and THAAD. Final contracts are targeted for the end of the calendar year, with the $1 billion DoW investment providing the cash to accelerate necessary capacity. Management expressed high confidence following the $515 million Army HMS budget request for 2027 and a significant Marine Corps request increase to $750 million. International demand remains a 'long runway' as NATO allies are only approximately 20% through their ten-year modernization cycles. Classified work now represents approximately 28% of the company, up from the prior year, with growth expected to continue across all segments. A recent $600 million sole-source classified award has the potential for billions in follow-on value based on performance. One stock.
