Parsons Corp. NYSE: PSN is one of the few companies to sit at the intersection of two high-demand growth industries that investors often consider separately: critical infrastructure and defense modernization. While many companies are pivoting toward defense—and plenty of defense-focused investments have done very well so far this year—Parsons has seen share prices go the opposite direction. Its stock has plummeted by more than 25% year to date (YTD).
This decline may be a blessing in disguise for a company that is positioned to meet two very different sets of needs in two high-performing corners of the market. Parsons could be considered a value play. Of course, for this to be the case, the company must be able to make a convincing argument that it is trading below its true value, and to be an even more promising option, Parsons must demonstrate that it has ample growth potential. Its unique dual focus, its acquisition history, and its missile defense business all help to make that case.
Get Parsons alerts:
Parsons' Unique Appeal as an Infrastructure and National Security FirmParsons is not a pure-play defense company, but rather a firm that generates revenue not only from government defense contracts but also from infrastructure projects. This breadth allows the company to capitalize on everything from space and missile defense business to critical infrastructure protection, water and other types of engineering, and urban development tasks.
The defense business certainly appears to be ramping up. In late August, for instance, Parsons announced that its subsidiary, Sealing Technologies, received a five-year agreement to produce cybersecurity systems for U.S. Cyber Command. The deal is worth up to $750 million in total.
Acquisitions Point to Invigorated Defense FocusIn recent years, Parsons has repeatedly reshaped its business through acquisitions, many of which have suggested it is leaning heavily into its defense operations. Altamira Technologies, for example, acquired in January 2026, reinforces Parsons' ventures into classified intelligence, missile warning, and space capabilities. Two years earlier, the company purchased BlackSignal Technologies, significantly boosting its presence in the classified cyber and intelligence industries. Xator helped increase Parsons' biometrics offerings two years prior to that.
These deals show that Parsons is not simply looking to capture market share of its existing operations or to buy up revenue sources, but rather that the company has been progressively and consistently deepening its exposure to high-margin defense technologies.
Missile Defense Stands Out as a Growth DriverMissile defense in particular has become a major focus for defense companies, and Parsons has positioned itself as a dominant player in this space. A major $514-million Missile Defense Agency contract option extending the company's work for the Missile Defense System is the latest development, announced in August 2026.
Investors might watch for Parsons to be involved in a variety of other missile defense projects based on its current work, potentially including counter-drone systems, integrated air and missile defense projects, and more.

The firm's recent underperformance has helped to fuel an argument that it may be undervalued, despite important contract wins in recent months. Shares may have been weighed down by restructuring, charges related to divestments, the timing of government awards, and other time-sensitive details. Also key to the latest dip is the fact that the company lowed its 2026 guidance amid award delays.
Still, Parsons has managed to report a number of strengths in its recent earnings. Bookings and backlog are very strong, with Q2 awards climbing by 24% year over year (YOY) to produce a 1.2x book-to-bill ratio. Backlog surged to $9.3 billion, with a full $6.6 billion funded. Profitability metrics also improved in the latest quarter.
If Parsons continues to balance its two primary focuses, it may end up able to better reduce cyclicality and maintain robust performance despite a slowdown in one area of the market or another. Still, there are risks to leaning into the defense business—government contracting can produce lumpy quarterly results, for instance, and may continue to delay contract awards. If Parsons continues to take an acquisition-centered approach, it must be able to continue to integrate those firms successfully. Finally, its infrastructure business may carry lower margins than some of its more advanced defense technology work.
All told, however, Parsons has a diversified business that may appeal to investors interested in either infrastructure or defense exposure, along with a robust backlog and a growing role in the defense space. It's no wonder, then, that many analysts view the stock so favorably.

What this transaction means for investorsParsons shareholders are having a rough 12 months, with the stock price dropping roughly 40%. In comparison, the S&P 500 is up nearly 20% in the same time frame. One of the issues that has plagued the company is slumping revenue, which has forced it to lower its guidance. For its 2026 second-quarter results, Parsons reported revenue of $1.6 billion, which was a 1% decline from the prior-year period. It also reported revenue for its Federal Solutions division slumped by 6%. For 2026 full-year revenue, Parsons previously forecast $6.5 billion to $6.8 billion, but has now lowered that to $6.2 billion to $6.5 billion.
The company did, however, report that its net bookings were up 24% for the quarter and that its backlog was $9.3 billion. An insider buying stock at this juncture would seem to indicate that, while the company has gone through a rough patch over the last 12 months, there is still potential upside ahead. With roughly 375,000 shares held directly and indirectly, Ball could have just as easily trimmed some of his position here. But adding even more is a vote of confidence for shareholders.

Parsons reaffirmed its 2026 guidance on April 29, 2026. Three months later, the Company cut full-year revenue and adjusted EBITDA targets -- and the stock fell.
, /PRNewswire/ -- Three months after telling investors it was "reaffirming our 2026 guidance ranges," Parsons Corporation (NYSE: PSN) cut those ranges on July 29, 2026, and shares declined 35% as the Company reported a quarterly net loss of roughly $15 million. If you lost money on Parsons stock, you are encouraged to submit your PSN loss information now. You may also contact Joseph E. Levi, Esq. via email at [email protected] or by telephone at (888) SueWallSt.
On the Company's April 29, 2026 first-quarter earnings call, Chair, President and CEO Carey Smith stated: "We are reaffirming our 2026 guidance ranges... We remain confident in our ability to achieve commitments." On July 29, 2026, Parsons disclosed via Form 8-K that full-year 2026 revenue guidance was reduced to $6.2--$6.5 billion from $6.5--$6.8 billion, and full-year adjusted EBITDA guidance was reduced to $500--$560 million from $615--$675 million -- a cut of as much as $175 million at the midpoint of the EBITDA range.
Second-quarter revenue came in at approximately $1.58--$1.60 billion, about 1% below the prior-year period and short of the $1.61 billion consensus figure. Adjusted EBITDA was approximately $42 million, down roughly 72% year over year. Management attributed the shortfall to "planned divestitures," "lower pass-through costs," and "federal contract timing," as well as a confidential fixed-price contract that was "canceled by the administration." On the Company's November 5, 2025 call, Ms. Smith had described that program as follows: "The program is in a wind-down state, so we're basically demobilizing."

Parsons NYSE: PSN reported second-quarter 2026 results that management characterized as strong in its core operations, while portfolio exits and a weather-related joint-venture charge affected reported profitability and prompted a reduction in full-year guidance.
Get Parsons alerts:
Chair, President and CEO Carey Smith said total revenue rose 8% and organic revenue increased 3% when excluding a confidential contract. On that normalized basis, Federal Solutions revenue grew 11%, while Critical Infrastructure revenue rose 5%. The company reported normalized adjusted EBITDA of $161 million, up 8% year over year, with margin expanding 70 basis points to 10.1%.
Management said the quarter included $118 million in non-recurring items: a $77 million loss associated with two remote Federal Solutions contracts held for sale, a $19 million gain from the sale of two advisory contracts, and a $41 million charge on a Critical Infrastructure joint-venture project following historic rainfall and schedule delays.
Portfolio actions and project charge Parsons said it sold two Systems Engineering and Technical Assistance, or SETA, contracts because the advisory work created a potential organizational conflict of interest with development work for an intelligence-community customer. Smith said divesting the contracts enables the company to pursue a development opportunity that is “8-10x larger” than the SETA opportunity and has a stronger margin profile.
The company also decided to exit two programs in a remote location that faced staffing, supply-chain and management challenges. Parsons has signed a letter of intent with an intended buyer and expects the transaction to close in the third quarter, subject to customary approvals. Smith said the work would have required extensive subcontracting and disproportionate management attention, making it inconsistent with the company’s risk and margin criteria.
In Critical Infrastructure, Parsons recorded a $41 million charge after what Smith described as historic rainfall in June disrupted a joint-venture project. The company added labor, equipment and subcontractor resources to maintain the schedule. Parsons is a non-managing partner in the venture, and management said the project is expected to be 90% complete by year-end. The company said it has not pursued similar consortium projects since 2019.
During the question-and-answer session, Smith said Parsons has three remaining programs where it is a non-managing partner. One is expected to conclude in 2027, while the other two are expected to wrap up in early and mid-2028. She said the other two programs are performing well.
Bookings, backlog and segment performance Second-quarter contract awards totaled $1.9 billion, up 24% from a year earlier, producing an enterprise book-to-bill ratio of 1.2x. Federal Solutions bookings rose 51% year over year and generated a 1.3x book-to-bill ratio. Critical Infrastructure posted a 1.1x ratio, marking its 23rd consecutive quarter at or above 1.0x.
Total backlog stood at $9.3 billion at quarter-end, including $6.6 billion of funded backlog, which was up 6% year over year and represented 71% of total backlog. Parsons also cited $11 billion in contract awards not yet booked.
Critical Infrastructure adjusted EBITDA increased 18% to $97 million, and margin expanded 140 basis points to 11.9%. Management attributed the improvement to accretive growth in the Middle East and improved North American mix. Middle East organic revenue grew 10%, while the region produced a 1.1x book-to-bill ratio.
Federal Solutions normalized adjusted EBITDA declined 5% to $64 million, with an 8.2% margin. CFO Matt Ofilos said lower volume on the confidential contract and a greater mix of materials and subcontractor work weighed on margins. However, management expects Federal Solutions margin to expand to 9.4% in the second half, supported by product sales, accretive contract growth and acquisition contributions.
Among the quarter’s major awards, Parsons cited a two-year, $514 million option under the Missile Defense Agency’s Technical Engineering Advisory and Management Support Systems Engineering contract; $400 million in awards through two other transaction agreements; a five-year, $245 million Naval Research Laboratory contract; a seven-year Navy contract with a ceiling value of $184 million; and a $161 million Canadian Giant Mine Remediation Program award.
Guidance revised for divestitures and timing Parsons lowered its 2026 revenue outlook to a range of $6.2 billion to $6.5 billion, adjusted EBITDA guidance to $500 million to $560 million, and operating cash flow guidance to $430 million to $490 million.
Ofilos said the midpoint of revenue guidance was reduced by $300 million. The company attributed $85 million of the reduction to planned divestitures, $125 million to a reduced infrastructure ramp driven by lower North American pass-through costs and timing of new awards, and $90 million to Federal Solutions timing issues, including a protest on a large new award and funding delays on recent wins.
Approximately $50 million to $60 million of the Critical Infrastructure reduction reflects lower pass-through revenue, which management said carries little EBITDA and therefore supports segment margins. Of the $90 million Federal Solutions reduction, about $20 million relates to the protested contract, with the remainder tied to timing of task orders and funding on work already in backlog.
Adjusted EBITDA guidance was reduced by $115 million at the midpoint, largely reflecting the $118 million in charges. Management said favorable margin trends, cost controls and program performance partly offset the impact of lower revenue volume.
Parsons reported operating cash flow was temporarily affected by a strategic inventory investment in memory and storage for high-demand national-security products. Ofilos estimated that investment at roughly $30 million in the second quarter and said the company expects it to generate revenue and cash in coming quarters. The company reaffirmed its target of converting more than 100% of adjusted EBITDA into free cash flow for the full year.
Looking ahead, Smith said Parsons continues to expect mid-single-digit or better growth from its 2026 base and 10 to 20 basis points of margin expansion, while citing demand across defense, cyber, space, transportation, water and Middle East infrastructure markets.

It's that time of summer again. With August on the doorstep, companies are busy announcing financial results. Like many other businesses, Parsons (PSN -37.11%) posted quarterly earnings before the bell today -- and investors are clearly unhappy with what the company reported -- though it has more to do with what management offered on 2026 guidance.
As of 12:58 p.m. ET, shares of Parsons, a specialist in defense, intelligence, and critical infrastructure solutions, are down 38.1%.

Beating bottom-line expectations isn't enough to outshine a less auspicious outlook for 2026 Reporting second-quarter adjusted earnings per share (EPS) of $0.86, Parsons exceeded the $0.76 adjusted EPS that analysts had anticipated. Investors aren't impressed, though.

Instead, they're focusing on management's downwardly revised 2026 outlook. The company now projects 2026 revenue of $6.2 billion to $6.5 billion, down from the original sales forecast of $6.5 billion to $6.8 billion. Similarly, management revised profitability expectations. Whereas it had originally projected 2026 adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA), including non-controlling interest, of $615 million to $675 million, it now projects $500 million to $560 million.
Parsons also revisited cash flow expectations. Paring back its original 2026 operating cash flow guidance of $470 million to $530 million, management now projects $430 million to $490 million in cash from operations.
According to Matt Ofilos, the company's CFO, the downwardly revised guidance doesn't reflect something materially wrong with the business. It stems from the company's divestitures and the timing of new awards.
Does today's sell-off represent a buying opportunity? While the market is thoroughly disappointed with the company's new outlook for 2026, there's reason to believe that the future remains bright for Parsons as the company reported a 4% year-over-year increase in its total backlog.

Parsons (PSN - Free Report) came out with a quarterly loss of $0.06 per share versus the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $0.74. This compares to earnings of $0.78 per share a year ago. These figures are adjusted for non-recurring items.
This quarterly report represents an earnings surprise of -108.11%. A quarter ago, it was expected that this software and infrastructure services provider would post earnings of $0.7 per share when it actually produced earnings of $0.79, delivering a surprise of +12.86%.
Over the last four quarters, the company has surpassed consensus EPS estimates two times.
Parsons, which belongs to the Zacks Technology Services industry, posted revenues of $1.58 billion for the quarter ended June 2026, missing the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 1.92%. This compares to year-ago revenues of $1.58 billion. The company has not been able to beat consensus revenue estimates over the last four quarters.
The sustainability of the stock's immediate price movement based on the recently-released numbers and future earnings expectations will mostly depend on management's commentary on the earnings call.
Parsons shares have added about 0.4% since the beginning of the year versus the S&P 500's gain of 8.5%.
What's Next for Parsons?While Parsons has underperformed the market so far this year, the question that comes to investors' minds is: what's next for the stock?
There are no easy answers to this key question, but one reliable measure that can help investors address this is the company's earnings outlook. Not only does this include current consensus earnings expectations for the coming quarter(s), but also how these expectations have changed lately.
Empirical research shows a strong correlation between near-term stock movements and trends in earnings estimate revisions. Investors can track such revisions by themselves or rely on a tried-and-tested rating tool like the Zacks Rank, which has an impressive track record of harnessing the power of earnings estimate revisions.
Ahead of this earnings release, the estimate revisions trend for Parsons was mixed. While the magnitude and direction of estimate revisions could change following the company's just-released earnings report, the current status translates into a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) for the stock. So, the shares are expected to perform in line with the market in the near future. You can see the complete list of today's Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.
It will be interesting to see how estimates for the coming quarters and the current fiscal year change in the days ahead. The current consensus EPS estimate is $0.86 on $1.76 billion in revenues for the coming quarter and $3.28 on $6.64 billion in revenues for the current fiscal year.
Investors should be mindful of the fact that the outlook for the industry can have a material impact on the performance of the stock as well. In terms of the Zacks Industry Rank, Technology Services is currently in the bottom 39% of the 250 plus Zacks industries. Our research shows that the top 50% of the Zacks-ranked industries outperform the bottom 50% by a factor of more than 2 to 1.
Symbotic Inc. (SYM - Free Report) , another stock in the same industry, has yet to report results for the quarter ended June 2026. The results are expected to be released on August 5.
This company is expected to post quarterly earnings of $0.12 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of +340%. The consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has remained unchanged over the last 30 days.
Symbotic Inc.'s revenues are expected to be $714.76 million, up 20.7% from the year-ago quarter.

CHANTILLY, Va., July 29, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Parsons Corporation (NYSE: PSN) today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2026.
CEO Commentary
“Our second quarter results highlight the demand for our solutions and the effectiveness of our strategy in a dynamic macro environment,” said Carey Smith, chair, president, and chief executive officer. “Parsons delivered strong book-to-bill ratios in both segments, achieved profitable growth in its core business, and secured strategic contract wins for long-term success. The Middle East business performed exceptionally well despite regional conflict, posting a 1.1x book-to-bill ratio and 10% organic revenue growth, demonstrating strong alignment with regional spending priorities.
During the quarter, Parsons took decisive portfolio-shaping actions to focus on profitable and sustainable growth. These steps, combined with robust risk management and enhanced bid discipline, further strengthen the company’s market position and margin profile. Looking ahead, we believe Parsons’ strong backlog, robust pipeline, high win rates, and differentiated technology capabilities—especially in advanced AI, cyber, and electronic warfare—position the company to drive profitable growth and deliver long-term shareholder value.”

Excluding these charges, adjusted EBITDA increased 8% to $161 million and adjusted EBITDA margin expanded 70 basis points to 10.1%. These increases were driven by improved infrastructure margins and contributions from accretive acquisitions. Adjusted diluted EPS was $(0.06) in the second quarter of 2026, compared to $0.78 in the second quarter of 2025. The year-over-year adjusted diluted EPS decrease was driven by the same portfolio and joint venture charges affecting operating income.

Non-GAAP Financial Information
The tables under "Parsons Corporation Inc. Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures" present Adjusted Net Income attributable to Parsons Corporation, Adjusted Earnings per Share, Earnings before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization (“EBITDA”), Adjusted EBITDA, EBITDA Margin, and Adjusted EBITDA Margin, reconciled to their most directly comparable GAAP measure. These financial measures are calculated and presented on the basis of methodologies other than in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("Non-GAAP Measures"). Parsons has provided these Non-GAAP Measures to adjust for, among other things, the impact of amortization expenses related to our acquisitions, costs associated with a loss or gain on the disposal or sale of property, plant and equipment, restructuring and related expenses, costs associated with mergers and acquisitions, software implementation costs, legal and settlement costs, and other costs considered non-operational in nature. These items have been Adjusted because they are not considered core to the company’s business or otherwise not considered operational or because these charges are non-cash or non-recurring. The company presents these Non-GAAP Measures because management believes that they are meaningful to understanding Parsons’s performance during the periods presented and the company’s ongoing business. Non-GAAP Measures are not prepared in accordance with GAAP and therefore are not necessarily comparable to similarly titled metrics or the financial results of other companies. These Non-GAAP Measures should be considered a supplement to, not a substitute for, or superior to, the corresponding financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP.
Normalized Financial Measures
In addition to the Non-GAAP Measures described above, for the second quarter of 2026, the company presents normalized Revenue, Net Income, Earnings Per Share (“EPS”), and Operating Cash Flow, each reconciled to its most directly comparable GAAP measure. The company also presents for the second quarter of 2026, normalized Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Net Income, and Adjusted EPS – Diluted, each of which is a non-GAAP Measure and is reconciled to the measure’s customary Non-GAAP presentation. These normalization adjustments exclude the effects of the portfolio-shaping actions and joint venture charges, as applicable and further described in this Earnings Release and the following reconciliation tables, which management does not consider indicative of the company’s core operating performance for the period presented. These adjustments may include non-recurring or unusual charges and gains, asset impairments, and other items that are not expected to occur regularly as part of the company’s normal operations. Management believes that excluding the effect of such items provides investors with supplemental information that facilitates period-to-period comparisons of operating performance and enhances an understanding of the company’s underlying business trends. These normalized financial measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, superior to, or more meaningful than their corresponding GAAP or customary non-GAAP financial measures, and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.
