Kratos Defense & Security Solutions, Inc.
KTOSKratos Defense & Security Solutions, Inc.'s three tracks disagree. Price, valuation and the earnings engine each tell a different story — the next quarter or two settles it.
The sharpest disagreement: annual EPS moved +18.2% against a −8.5% price move — the market has not yet caught up with the delivery.
The price is building a base (20 weeks in) while the P/E sits at the 46th percentile of its own 2-year range. Underneath, the last four quarters read mixed, and 25% of the last 2 years' profit arrived as cash. What settles it: whether the price catches up with earnings that have already moved.
Price story Before the numbers, the tape. A stock price moves through four repeating seasons: a flat base (stage 1), an advance (2), a top (3), a decline (4). Where the price sits in that cycle frames everything below.
Kratos Defense & Security Solutions, Inc. trades at $51.9, building a base and 20 weeks into that stage. That is −30.6% against its own 200-day average. It sits at 7% of a 52-week range of $46 to $131. On relative strength it is currently behind the S&P 500 on a trailing-13-week view (19 weeks and counting).
Today the stock is building a base — week 20 of stage 1. At $51.9 it trades −30.6% versus its 200-day average and sits at 7% of its 52-week range ($46–$131).
Against the market, two honest reads. Cumulative: over the last 10.1 years the stock moved +1,123% while the S&P 500 moved +263% — ahead of the index over the full window. Recent form: on a trailing-13-week view the stock is currently behind (19 weeks and counting; last ahead the week of 2026-03-27) — the ribbon below is that same metric, week by week.
What would end the trend, mechanically: two Friday closes in a row below the 200-day line. That is the exit rule — no debates.
Valuation P/E is the price of $1 of annual profit: how many dollars the market pays for each dollar the company earns in a year.
Kratos Defense & Security Solutions, Inc. trades at 302.2× P/E, mid-range by its own standards (46th percentile). Its long-run median P/E is 310.3×, measured across 2.3 years of weekly readings. This places the multiple against the stock’s own record, and says nothing about what the business is worth.
Today's P/E of 302.2× is mid-range by its own standards (46th percentile), against a long-run median of 310.3× measured over 2.3 years of weekly readings. This is a comparison against the stock's own history — not a claim about what it is worth.
Why the multiple sits where it does: over the past year annual EPS moved +18.2% against a −8.5% price move — earnings outran the price, pushing the multiple DOWN its own range.
Put together: the multiple is unremarkable against its own past, so the story rests on the earnings line underneath it, not the multiple.
Stage: No read Every business sits somewhere on a fundamental arc, and this page names the spot before anything else. The last twelve quarters of revenue, profit and EPS growth — plus the return the business earns on its capital — are read as curves: Deteriorating (the curves are falling), Turning around (a trough has just formed and the last few quarters lift off it), Improving (the climb off the trough is sustained), Consistent (steadily positive with healthy returns), Topping out (still high but decelerating from the peak). When the curves genuinely disagree the read is Mixed; too little history is No read. CAGR (compound annual growth rate) is the smooth yearly pace that turns the starting value into the latest one — the fairest way to compare growth across different time spans. Read the columns together: if the 1-year number towers over the 10-year, recent growth is running hotter than the long-run trend. A dash means that window is not held, or the base year was a loss (where a growth rate is not meaningful).
Kratos Defense & Security Solutions, Inc. reads as no read on its fundamental arc. Under eight usable quarters on the growth trio — not enough history for an honest trajectory read. The read is built from 12 quarters across 2 curves, on partial evidence.
Why it matters: with too little history, an honest page says so instead of guessing a trajectory.
Fewer than eight usable quarters on the growth curves — this page will not guess a trajectory from a stub of history.

4-Factor Sector Score
33.9/100 — rank 25 of 30 in Aerospace & Defense · 56% evidence confidence
Kratos Defense & Security Solutions, Inc. scores 33.9 out of 100 against the 30 companies it is compared with in Aerospace & Defense, ranking 25. Fill the missing evidence before acting; the ranking is deliberately pulled toward neutral.
The four contributions add to the total exactly: 18 + 6.6 + 8.5 + 0.8 = 33.9. This is the SAME number shown on the sector comparison — it is computed once, for the whole peer set, and read here.
What would change it: The read weakens if profit growth turns negative or margin improvement reverses while sector-relative strength deteriorates.
Revenue Revenue is the top line: everything the company billed its customers in the period.
Kratos Defense & Security Solutions, Inc. reported $0.4 B of revenue in the Mar 26 quarter, +23.3% year on year. That is the 12th straight quarter of year-on-year growth. Over 4 years it has compounded at 13.6% a year. The last full year, FY25, came in at $1.4 B. The last four reported quarters add to $1.4 B.
FY25 revenue came in at $1.4 B (+18.4% on the year), capping 4 years at 13.6% compound. The latest quarter (Mar 26) printed $0.4 B, +23.3% year on year — the 12th consecutive quarter of year-over-year growth.
Pace check: the last four quarters averaged +22.5% growth against the decade's 13.6% — the current year is running faster than its own long-run rate.
Acceleration check: trailing-twelve-month revenue grew +22.4% over the last 4 quarters against +14.7%/yr over the last 8 — accelerating; TTM profit +200.0% vs +73.2%/yr — accelerating.
Operating margin Operating margin is what is left of every $100 of sales after running the business, before interest and tax. It is the cleanest read on pricing power and cost control.
Kratos Defense & Security Solutions, Inc.'s operating margin is 0.0% in the Mar 26 quarter, −3.3 percentage points against the same quarter a year ago. Across 5 fiscal years the operating margin has ranged 0.0% to 3.7%. The current quarter sits inside that band.
The latest quarter's operating margin is 0.0%, −3.3 pp against the same quarter a year ago. Across 5 fiscal years the operating margin has ranged 0.0%–3.7%.
🚨 Why the margin moved: operating margin went −3.3 pp year on year while gross margin went +1.0 pp — the loss came mostly below the gross line: operating leverage, with costs spread over a bigger revenue base.
Net profit Net profit is what survives every cost, interest and tax — the number EPS, dividends and book value all grow from.
Kratos Defense & Security Solutions, Inc. earned $0.0 B of net profit in the Mar 26 quarter. Full-year FY25 profit was $0.0 B. That is 2.7% of the quarter's revenue. The same quarter a year earlier earned $0.0 B.
Mar 26 profit was $0.0 B, null year on year. On the full year, FY25 printed $0.0 B (+0.0%).
Cash flow — the router The P&L says what was earned; the cash-flow statement says what actually arrived. Operating cash flow (CFO) against profit is the cleanest lie detector in the accounts.
Over the last 2 fiscal years 25% of Kratos Defense & Security Solutions, Inc.'s reported profit arrived as operating cash — a gap worth watching. In FY25 that was $−0.0 B of operating cash against $0.0 B of profit. After $0.1 B of capital spending, $−0.1 B was left as free cash.
FY25: operating cash of $−0.0 B against reported profit of $0.0 B, leaving free cash of $−0.1 B after $0.1 B of capital spending. Across the last 2 fiscal years the conversion rate is 25% of profit.
Cash-flow readings here are annual — that is the resolution our series carries, so this section moves once a year.
🚨 Why: conversion is measured cleanly, but the working-capital day-counts behind it sit below what we hold — the move is shown without inventing its driver.
Router verdict: the visible cash user is investment — the next section checks what the spending is buying.
Where the cash goes Working capital is the cash tied up between paying suppliers and getting paid: debtor days (customers owe), inventory days (stock waits), and the cash conversion cycle (the whole loop, in days of sales).
Kratos Defense & Security Solutions, Inc. does not report the debtor, inventory and payable day-counts a cash cycle is built from, so this section reads the investment side instead. Capital spending ran $0.0 B over the last 3 years. Averaged over those years that is 0.0% of FY25 revenue a year.
Working-capital day-counts are not in our numbers for this stock, so this section reads the investment side — where the cash is being put to work.
On the investment side: capital spending of $0.0 B over the last 3 fiscal years.
The synthesis: the cash is going into capacity, not disappearing into the cycle — the question becomes whether the new capacity earns.
Return on equity Return on equity (ROE) is the profit the business earns on its shareholders’ money. With the full capital-employed split not in our numbers, ROE is the cleanest long ladder we can draw here.
Kratos Defense & Security Solutions, Inc. earns a ROE of 1% in FY25. That is up from a trough of −3% in FY22. Return on invested capital clears the cost of that capital by −9.1 percentage points, so growth here is not yet paying for the capital it uses.
FY25 ROE is 1%, recovered from a FY22 trough of −3% — the full ladder below shows the fall and the climb, undoctored.
🚨 Why the return is what it is — the wiring (FY25): 1.5% net margin × 0.55× asset turns × 1.24× balance-sheet leverage ≈ 1.0% on equity. Margin does its share; leverage is modest — this is an earned return, not a borrowed one.
The capstone test — ROIC − WACC: 1.1% − 10.2% = a −9.1 pp spread. The 10.2% is an estimate of this company's own cost of capital — read the sign and the size of the spread, not the decimals. Negative — growth at these returns destroys value until the returns recover.
Dividend
Kratos Defense & Security Solutions, Inc. pays no dividend. Across the last 12 reported quarters it has declared no dividend per share, so there is no payout history to chart and no yield to quote. Companies at this stage typically reinvest earnings rather than distribute them, which makes the cash-flow and reinvestment sections the place that cash shows up.
Kratos Defense & Security Solutions, Inc. does not currently pay a dividend. Across the last 12 reported quarters the company has declared no dividend per share, so there is no payout history to chart and no yield to quote. Companies at this stage typically reinvest earnings instead of distributing them.
Debt Debt-to-equity says how much of the business is funded by borrowings. Low is the safe corner; the trend matters as much as the level.
Kratos Defense & Security Solutions, Inc. carries total debt of $0.2 B against shareholder equity of $3.4 B as of Mar 26, a debt-to-equity of 0.06 — effectively unlevered. On the annual view that ratio went from 0.35 in FY21 to 0.07 in FY25. The returns elsewhere on this page are therefore earned rather than borrowed.
Mar 26: total debt of $0.2 B against shareholder equity of $3.4 B — a debt-to-equity of 0.06. On the annual view, debt-to-equity went from 0.35 (FY21) to 0.07 (FY25). The returns on this page are earned, not borrowed.
Ownership There is no quarter-by-quarter holder register to read here, so we read the crowd through short interest — the slice of tradable shares currently sold short, positioned for a fall.
5.6% of Kratos Defense & Security Solutions, Inc.'s tradable float is currently sold short — some money is positioned against it. At typical trading volumes those positions would take about 1.8 days to buy back. There is no quarter-by-quarter holder register to read for this filer, so the crowd is read through short interest instead.
The latest reading: 5.6% of the float is sold short, and at typical trading volumes it would take about 1.8 days to buy those positions back. Some money is positioned against it. This is a single point-in-time reading — we do not yet hold its history, so we show no trend chart.
Why it sits there: who is doing the shorting, and why, does not travel with the number — the level is shown without inventing its story.
Safety line The Z-score estimates how far a company sits from balance-sheet distress — above roughly 3 is safe, below roughly 1.8 is the danger zone. It was built for manufacturers, so it is not applied to banks and lenders.
Kratos Defense & Security Solutions, Inc.: the Z-score reads 11.81. A Z-score above roughly 3 reads as safe and below roughly 1.8 as the distress zone, so this sits well clear of distress. It is a distance-to-distress estimate from the balance sheet, not a forecast of failure.
Why it matters: a Z-score of 11.81 sits well clear of the distress zone — the balance sheet is not the risk here.
The safety line in one sentence: the Z-score reads 11.81.

Missing observations are not scored as bad. Their missing weight lowers confidence and pulls the final score toward neutral. PEG is not shown when the ratio cannot mean anything: the company must be making a profit, its price-to-earnings must be positive, and its three-year earnings growth must fall between 5% and 60%. Dividing a price multiple by a loss, or by growth measured off a tiny base, produces a number that looks precise and tells you nothing. Under relative strength, one mark per week shows the last 12 weeks: a mark is filled where the company led S&P 500 by 5% or more over the 13 weeks ending that week, which is the same test used everywhere on this site. Price stage places the company on the same six-step curve the sector itself is placed on — basing, turning, breaking out, leader, fading, asleep — read from how many weeks running it has led S&P 500 and whether that lead is widening or shrinking. It describes where the PRICE stands, not the earnings trajectory and not a recommendation, and it is left blank for a company whose weekly history is too short or too stale to read.
