Bulls Say, Bears Say
Bulls Say
Financial PerformanceKTOS reported revenues of $277.2 million, up 20% y/y (100% organic) vs. the Street at $250 million (guidance $240-$260 million).
Market PositionKratos is seen as an opportunity for long-term capital appreciation due to several fundamental aspects such as a large TAM spanning various technologies, strong product bases in new defense markets, and competitive advantages in product development and cost management.
Technological CapabilitiesThe successful first test flight of the Erinyes hypersonic flyer under the Missile Defense Agency's Hypersonic Test Bed clears a critical hurdle towards proving technical capability of the company's platform.
Bears Say
Operational ChallengesThe lack of labor availability has prevented KTOS from taking on more higher-margin work, especially at Kratos Turbine Technologies.
ProfitabilityMargins remain depressed as the majority of Unmanned Systems contracts are generally weaker from a profitability perspective.
Sales PerformanceThe business has recorded two consecutive years of declining sales.
