Four dividend stocks have ex-dividend deadlines in the next 48 hours, and one of them stops qualifying at today's close. Yields, earnings coverage, and a few red flags worth knowing before the window shuts.

This post may contain links from our sponsors and affiliates, and Flywheel Publishing may receive compensation for actions taken through them.

Four dividend payers go ex-dividend in the next two days. One of them, a Wisconsin bank, go ex on October 8, 2026, so today is the final day to buy and still collect its next payout. The other three go ex on October 9, 2026. Yields on this list range from under 1% to almost 4%, and each section below checks whether earnings cover the dividend.

How the timing works: you have to own shares before the ex-dividend date to get the upcoming payment. If you buy on the ex-date or later, the payment goes to the seller. The pay date is just the day the cash shows up in your account.

Waterstone Financial (WSBF): Today Is the Last Day to Buy Waterstone Financial (NASDAQ:WSBF) has the most urgent deadline coupled with a real yield. The quarterly dividend is $0.17 per share and goes ex on October 8, 2026, so the shares have to be bought by today’s close. Shareholders get paid on November 2, 2026. At the $19.87 close, the $0.68 annualized dividend works out to a yield of about 3.42%.

Earnings well cover the payout. Second-quarter diluted EPS was $0.49, so the dividend takes roughly 35% of quarterly earnings. Net interest margin expanded 43 bps to 3.03%, and net income grew 9.51% year over year. The dividend has a mixed history, though.

The recurring payout was $0.20 for much of 2021 to 2023 before it fell to $0.15, and it only moved back up to $0.17 this spring. The yield comes alongside a rising share price. The stock is up 23.33% year to date, even after a 7.65% pullback over the past month.

NorthEast Community Bancorp (NECB): Highest Yield, Two Days Left NorthEast Community Bancorp (NASDAQ:NECB) has the highest yield in the group. The quarterly dividend of $0.25 goes ex on October 9, 2026, so buyers need shares by the close on October 8. Payment follows on November 13, 2026. The $1 annualized rate yields about 3.73% on the $26.78 close.

Second-quarter EPS of $0.72 covers the dividend with about 35% paid out, but that result missed the $0.77 consensus. Net income fell 12.31% and net interest margin contracted 21 bps to 5.14%, so the dividend went up while earnings went down. Credit quality is clean, with zero non-performing loans. Still, unfunded construction commitments above $883 million are a concentration worth tracking.

Science Applications International (SAIC): Tiny Payout, Big Cash Cushion Science Applications International (NASDAQ:SAIC | SAIC Price Prediction) pays $0.37 per share and goes ex on October 9, 2026, so October 8 is the last day to buy. Shareholders receive payment on October 23, 2026. The yield is about 1.18%, which is low for an income list, but the coverage is excellent.

The $1.48 annual dividend is roughly 17% of trailing EPS of $8.57. On cash flow, the dividend costs about $62 million a year at the current share count, and the fiscal 2027 free cash flow guidance is above $600 million. Second-quarter non-GAAP EPS of $3.01 beat estimates by 30.39%. The catch is that the dividend has been frozen at $0.37 since 2021, with management sending excess cash to buybacks instead.

NetApp (NTAP): The Yield Shrank Because the Stock Ran NetApp (NASDAQ:NTAP) goes ex on October 9, 2026 with a $0.52 payment due October 28, 2026. Shares must be bought by October 8 to qualify. The yield is just 0.93%, and that’s because the stock is up 120.36% year to date, the opposite of a yield trap.

The $2.08 annual dividend is about 29% of trailing GAAP EPS of $7.09. First-quarter free cash flow of $401 million compares with a quarterly dividend bill of roughly $102 million. Revenue grew 29.89%, and full-year non-GAAP EPS guidance went up to $9.73 to $10.03. The risk here is valuation. At $232.94, shares sit above the $206.06 consensus target, and any pullback could easily erase a $0.52 payment.

Last Chance to Lock In These Payouts Buying a stock for one dividend usually doesn’t add value, because share prices typically fall by about the dividend amount when they go ex. These four are worth a look because earnings cover their payouts well (we put the seven warning signs that a big yield is about to be cut in a free dividend trap guide if you want to pressure-test any name on this list). If you’re interested in Waterstone Financial the deadline is today’s close, and the other three cut off at the close on October 8. Let those dates slip by and you will lose this round of payments.

Treasury bills lock in your rate the moment you buy, which sounds like a feature until you realize a dividend can do something a bill never will. Six income stocks reveal exactly where that tradeoff gets complicated.

This post may contain links from our sponsors and affiliates, and Flywheel Publishing may receive compensation for actions taken through them.

Treasury bills paid an average yield of 3.94% on 4-week bills and 4.55% on 52-week bills as of the September 30, 2026 Treasury record, with the 13-week bill at 4.17% and the 26-week bill at 4.38%. Those rates climbed through September. On September 1, 2026, the 13-week bill yielded 3.87% and the 52-week yielded 4.18%. This edition of The Income Desk sets those numbers against six dividend payers that every retiree weighing an income stock against a government-backed rate should understand.

How a Treasury Bill Pays You, and When the Rate Resets A Treasury bill is a short-term loan to the U.S. government. You buy it at auction through TreasuryDirect or a brokerage account, or on the secondary market through a broker. Bills come in maturities ranging from 4-week to 52-week.

A bill pays all of its interest at maturity. You buy it at a discount to its face value, and at maturity the Treasury pays you the full face value. The gap between what you paid and what you receive is your interest. Auction bidding sets that discount, so the yield is determined at purchase and stays fixed until that specific bill matures.

The rate changes only when you buy a new bill. If you roll a 13-week bill four times in a year, you get four different rates, each set by the auction that week. A T-bill ladder behaves like a floating-rate account over time: the yield on any one bill is fixed, but the income stream resets with every rollover.

Treasury notes work differently. They pay a fixed coupon twice a year for terms of two to ten years. On September 30, 2026, the 2-year Treasury yielded 4.88%, the 5-year 5.09% and the 10-year 5.29%. A note locks its coupon for the full term, which protects against falling rates and gives up any benefit from rising ones.

What the Government Guarantee Covers, and Where It Stops Bills and notes are backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government. That backing covers repayment of face value at maturity. It leaves three risks with you:

Price risk. If you sell before maturity, you get the market price, and that price falls when rates rise. Anyone who bought a 52-week bill on September 1 at a 4.18% yield and sold on September 30, when new 52-week bills yielded 4.55%, would have sold at a discount to what a hold-to-maturity buyer receives. The longer the maturity, the larger that effect. Reinvestment risk. When a bill matures, the next auction may pay less. September showed how quickly bill rates move, and they move in both directions. A retiree living on rolled bills has no control over the next rate. Inflation risk. The guarantee covers dollars, while inflation can erode what those dollars buy at maturity. Dividend Safety First: Six Income Stocks Against a T-Bill A higher yield means nothing if the payment is at risk, so safety leads here. The table shows each company’s latest payout and trailing dividend yield based on market data as of October 1, 2026. A dividend yield is the trailing payout divided by today’s share price. It measures income, and total return also includes the stock’s price change, which can be large in either direction.

Company Latest Payout Frequency Annualized Forward Dividend Trailing Yield Norwood Financial (NASDAQ:NWFL) $0.32 Quarterly $1.28 3.81% Phillips Edison (NASDAQ:PECO) $0.115 Monthly $1.38 3.43% Johnson Outdoors (NASDAQ:JOUT) $0.33 Quarterly $1.32 2.98% SAIC (NASDAQ:SAIC | SAIC Price Prediction) $0.37 Quarterly $1.48 1.13% NetApp (NASDAQ:NTAP) $0.52 Quarterly $2.08 1.02% InterDigital (NASDAQ:IDCC) $0.75 Quarterly $3.00 0.86% Every trailing yield in this group sits below even the 4-week bill’s 3.94%. On starting income alone, bills win today. The case for a dividend stock rests on what happens to the payment over the next several years.

Where the Payment Faces Real Pressure Norwood Financial, the holding company behind Wayne Bank, carries the highest yield in the group and the clearest credit question. Second-quarter net income rose to $9.33 million, up 50.3% year over year, on record net interest income of $26.8 million. But nonperforming loans rose to 1.23% of total loans after a borrower with roughly $22 million in commercial real estate exposure filed Chapter 11, and the bank’s CRE concentration ratio stands at 202%. The dividend has grown steadily, from $0.29 per quarter in 2023 to $0.32 in 2026, and management lists a “reliable and growing dividend” as a 2026 priority. Loan quality is the variable to keep an eye on.

Johnson Outdoors has held its quarterly payout at $0.33 since January 2024 and declared the next one on September 25, 2026. Trailing diluted EPS, however, sits at -$0.83, so the dividend is running ahead of trailing earnings. Fiscal third-quarter EPS of $1.42 beat the $0.68 consensus, helped by roughly $15 million in tariff refunds that lifted gross margin to 45.3% from 37.6%. Management flagged ongoing tariff and macro uncertainty. For a cyclical maker of boats, fishing electronics and dive gear, that is the profile where a payout can be frozen or cut.

Where Cash Flow Covers the Check NetApp generated $401 million in free cash flow in fiscal Q1 2027, posted non-GAAP EPS of $2.58 against a $2.12 consensus, and raised full-year guidance. CEO George Kurian called the quarter a record-setting start to the year. The quarterly dividend has sat at $0.52 since April 2024, while the company repurchased $200 million of stock in the quarter. Coverage looks strong. The stock’s 52-week range of $92.93 to $216.81 shows how much principal can swing around a small yield.

Science Applications International produced $131 million of free cash flow in fiscal Q2 2027 and guided full-year free cash flow above $600 million. SAIC also won a $740 million DHS recompete after the quarter. Its dividend is well covered and also frozen: the payout has been $0.37 per quarter since April 2019, as SAIC directed most capital to buybacks. A dividend can grow, and SAIC’s shows that growth is a choice management makes.

Where the Payment Is Growing Phillips Edison & Company, a grocery-anchored shopping center REIT with tenants including Kroger, Publix and Albertsons, raised its monthly distribution to $0.115 from $0.1083, effective with the September 15, 2026 ex-dividend date. The monthly payout has risen in stages from $0.085 in 2021. Because the trailing yield captures mostly the old rate, the forward yield runs somewhat higher. Monthly checks also mirror a paycheck more closely than a bill that pays once at maturity.

InterDigital has more than doubled its quarterly dividend, from $0.35 in early 2023 to $0.75 payable October 28, 2026. The patent licensor holds $1.11 billion in cash and reported record annualized recurring revenue of $625.7 million, up 13%. Revenue still swings with catch-up payments and enforcement outcomes: second-quarter revenue fell 13.4% to $260.2 million. The yield is the smallest in the group and the growth record is the strongest.

Both Halves of the Trade A Treasury bill’s payout is set the day you buy it, and nothing a company board does can reduce it. A dividend can be cut, as any holder of a cyclical or credit-sensitive stock learns eventually. A bill’s payout can never grow during its term, and a 10-year note’s coupon stays the same in year ten as in year one. A dividend that rises, as InterDigital’s, Norwood’s and Phillips Edison’s have, can eventually pay more on the original purchase price than a bill does today. That outcome depends on the company, and only the bill’s rate is fixed in advance.

Taxes Can Flip the Answer Before Yield Does Treasury bill and note interest is taxable at the federal level as ordinary income and exempt from state and local income tax. For a retiree in a high-tax state, that exemption narrows the effective gap between a bill and a fully taxed alternative. Discount on a bill is generally taxed in the year the bill matures, so a 52-week bill bought now produces taxable interest in 2027.

Qualified dividends from companies such as NetApp, SAIC, InterDigital, Norwood and Johnson Outdoors are taxed federally at long-term capital gains rates, which sit below ordinary income rates for most holders, provided you meet the holding period around the ex-dividend date. Those dividends are fully taxable at the state level, with no exemption.

REIT distributions follow different rules. Phillips Edison’s payouts are largely taxed as ordinary income, with a partial Section 199A deduction available to eligible holders. That puts REIT income closer to Treasury interest at the federal level, and REIT income carries no state exemption.

Two more points for retirees. Personal exemptions remain at $0 for tax year 2026, though the One, Big, Beautiful Bill added a separate senior deduction. And inside an IRA or 401(k), none of these distinctions apply until withdrawal, when everything comes out as ordinary income. The tax edge of either option exists only in a taxable account.

Who Each Option Suits Treasury bills suit a retiree who needs a known dollar amount on a known date, lives in a high-tax state, and can tolerate a rate that resets lower at each rollover. Dividend stocks with covered, growing payouts, such as NetApp, SAIC, Phillips Edison and InterDigital, suit a retiree with a long horizon who can absorb price swings in exchange for income that can rise over time. Higher-yielding payers with weaker coverage, such as Johnson Outdoors and Norwood Financial, suit only investors who will monitor earnings and credit quality every quarter and accept that the payment can be reduced.

Months into the war between the United States and Iran, the conflict has entered another period of intensification. The many ups and downs over the last several months, in which a ceasefire has numerous times appeared to be emerging before attacks resume, have provided opportunities for select industries and companies to thrive. Now, with multiple commercial supertankers struck in recent weeks, escalation is prompting a divergence across the market.

As oil remains near multi-week highs, defense contractors are able to benefit from a sustained increase in government outlays. At the same time, concerns about energy security may prompt skittishness among players across the space. Oil refiners are enjoying crack spreads that are close to all-time highs as far as profitability goes. The three companies below represent each of these corners of the market and have responded very differently to the latest round of fighting in the Iran conflict.

Science Applications International Corp. NASDAQ: SAIC plays a pivotal role in intelligence systems, cybersecurity, and mission IT, allowing the contractor to benefit across all phases of a war like the one in Iran. Results for its latest quarter—Q2 fiscal 2027, ended July 31, 2026—were strong across the board, including organic revenue growth of about 5%, adjusted EBITDA of $193 at a 10.3% margin, and $131 million in free cash flow. The company also posted an impressive earnings beat with earnings per share (EPS) of $3.01, 70 cents ahead of estimates, despite this metric being lower on a year-over-year (YOY) basis due to a large legal settlement a year earlier.

SAIC also provided insight into its contract pipeline, which helps make the case for its strengths going forward. A $400-million recompute contract for an unspecified U.S. intelligence agency, coupled with a recompute win rate of more than 90% for the latest quarter, means that SAIC is highly capable of generating new business.

Management boosted fiscal 2027 earnings outlook by 75 cents on the low end and 65 cents on the high end, alongside an increase in anticipated revenue as well. The company's backlog is also robust. In short, SAIC appears to be functioning well in an environment practically designed to ensure its success. One thing that may give investors pause, however, is that after climbing nearly 26% year to date (YTD), SAIC stock may not have as much room to rally in the near term.

After several highly tumultuous years, SolarEdge Technologies NASDAQ: SEDG appeared to be an early beneficiary of the Iran war. Shares climbed in the weeks immediately following the onset of U.S.-Israeli strikes and then spiked in early June as European demand rose amid market volatility.

In the time since, however, the picture has gotten cloudier. Even with fairly strong Q2 2026 results—including 20% YOY revenue improvement to more than $346 million and a non-GAAP operating profit for the first time in multiple years, plus gross margin expansion to 28.6%—shares of SEDG have now fallen significantly from those mid-year highs.

Higher energy prices should help to boost solar adoption, which would be a boon for the company. However, rising Treasury yields due to energy-fueled inflation concerns also mean the cost of financing its projects has soared, potentially harming demand. At the same time, a tepid U.S. residential market may also be a drag on SolarEdge's business. The result is a company that, despite a fairly strong set of fundamentals, has an overall Reduce rating across Wall Street analyses.

High gas prices, near-record crack spreads, and concerns about supply have all made for an excellent environment for oil refiners. Marathon Petroleum Corp. NYSE: MPC, one of the world's largest such companies, is no exception.

Marathon's Q2 2026 earnings report was stellar, as Q2 profit surged nearly fourfold to $5.1 billion on a 54% YOY jump in revenue. Adjusted EBITDA more than doubled as well, thanks in large part to excellent crack spreads amid the near-closure of the Strait of Hormuz.

Shares of MPC have predictably shot upward in this environment, climbing over 140% YTD. Analysts remain largely optimistic about MPC's viability for investors, with 12 out of 17 calling shares a Buy even as the stock has surged past the consensus price target of $330.50. Of course, the danger for investors is that the same major catalyst—crack spreads driven by supply concerns—can reverse just as quickly. So while it may seem that Marathon is easily the winner of the three stocks on this list, investors should be mindful that it still carries risks amid a very volatile war.

Second Quarter Summary Results

Revenues for the quarter increased $111 million or approximately 6% compared to the same period in the prior year primarily due to ramp up in volume on existing and new contracts and from the acquisition of SilverEdge Government Solutions ("SilverEdge") of $20 million, partially offset by contract completions. Adjusting for the impact of acquisitions, revenues grew by approximately 5.3%.

Operating income as a percentage of revenues for the quarter increased compared to the same period in the prior year primarily due to improved profitability across our contract portfolio and costs related to the settlement of federal tax audits in the prior year, partially offset by higher selling, general and administrative expenses, including recovery of costs from the settlement of a patent infringement matter in the prior year.

Adjusted EBITDA(1) as a percentage of revenues for the quarter decreased to 10.3% from 10.5% for the same period in the prior year primarily due to higher selling, general and administrative expenses, including recovery of costs from the settlement of a patent infringement matter in the prior year, partially offset by improved profitability across our contract portfolio.

Diluted earnings per share for the quarter was $2.38 compared to $2.71 in the prior year quarter. Adjusted diluted earnings per share(1) for the quarter was $3.01 compared to $3.63 in the prior year quarter. The weighted-average diluted shares outstanding during the quarter decreased to 42.8 million from 46.8 million during the prior year quarter.

(1)Non-GAAP measure, see Schedule 6 for information about this measure.

Cash Generation and Capital Deployment

Cash flows provided by operating activities for the second quarter increased $24 million compared to the prior year quarter primarily due to lower cash outflows from the usage of the Master Accounts Receivable Purchase Agreement ("MARPA") Facility, lower cash incentive-based compensation payments, and other changes in working capital, partially offset by timing of customer collections.

During the quarter, SAIC deployed $106 million of capital, consisting of $90 million of plan share repurchases and $16 million in cash dividends.

Subsequent to quarter end, on August 14, 2026, SAIC amended the MARPA to increase the aggregate facility limit from $300 million to $400 million.

Quarterly Dividend Declared

Subsequent to quarter end, on August 27, 2026, the Company's Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.37 per share of the Company's common stock payable on October 23, 2026 to stockholders of record on October 9, 2026. SAIC intends to continue paying dividends on a quarterly basis, although the declaration of any future dividends will be determined by the Board of Directors each quarter and will depend on earnings, financial condition, capital requirements and other factors.

Backlog and Contract Awards

Net bookings for the quarter were approximately $1.2 billion which reflects a book-to-bill ratio of 0.6 and a trailing twelve months book-to-bill ratio of 0.8. SAIC’s estimated backlog at the end of the quarter was approximately $22.1 billion. Of the total backlog amount, approximately $3.8 billion was funded.

Notable New and Recompete Awards:

U.S. Space and Intelligence Community: During the quarter, SAIC was awarded a five-year (three-year base, plus two, one-year option periods) recompete contract of approximately $400 million supporting a U.S. Intelligence Agency.

U.S. Army: During the quarter, SAIC was awarded a five-year contract (three-year base, plus two, one-year option periods) of approximately $330 million supporting all branches of the Armed Services. Under this contract, SAIC will provide engineering and professional services supporting system-of-systems ("SoS"), systems engineering ("SE"), live/virtual/constructive ("LVC"), and associated M&S and multi-domain operations models, simulations, and analysis. The M&S area provides various types of system-of-systems modeling and simulation support development of and improvements of systems.

U.S. Navy: During the quarter, SAIC was awarded a five-year contract (one-year base, plus four, one-year option periods) of approximately $130 million supporting the U.S Navy. Under this contract, SAIC will provide support with acquisition, development, and operational testing of various airborne electronic warfare systems.

Notable Awards Subsequent to Period End (not included in current quarter bookings):

U.S. Department of Homeland Security: Subsequent to the end of the quarter, SAIC was awarded a five-year (one-year base, plus four, one-year option periods) recompete contract of approximately $740 million with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, in its Civilian business group. Under this task order, SAIC will provide full-scale operations and maintenance support for Customs and Border Protection systems that are essential to assessing security risk from travelers and cargo entering our country.

U.S. Intelligence Community: Subsequent to the end of the quarter, SAIC was awarded a position on the estimated $14 billion Contract Operations for Missile Evaluation and Testing ("COMET") multiple-award, indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity ("IDIQ") contract with the Missile and Space Intelligence Center ("MSIC").

GAAP to Non-GAAP Guidance Reconciliation

The Company does not provide a reconciliation of forward-looking adjusted diluted EPS to GAAP diluted EPS, adjusted EBITDA margin to GAAP net income or free cash flow to GAAP net cash flows from operating activities due to the inherent difficulty in forecasting and quantifying certain amounts that are necessary for such reconciliation. Because certain deductions for non-GAAP exclusions used to calculate net income and cash flows from operating activities may vary significantly based on actual events, the Company is not able to forecast GAAP diluted EPS, GAAP net income or GAAP net cash flows from operating activities with reasonable certainty. The variability of the above charges may have an unpredictable and potentially significant impact on our future GAAP financial results.

In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by words such as “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “guidance,” and similar words or phrases.

Such statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risk, uncertainties and assumptions, and actual results may differ materially from the guidance and other forward-looking statements made in this release as a result of various factors. Risks, uncertainties and assumptions that could cause or contribute to these material differences include those discussed in the “Risk Factors,” “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and “Legal Proceedings” sections of our Annual Report on Form 10-K, as updated in any subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and other filings with the SEC, which may be viewed or obtained through the Investor Relations section of our website at www.saic.com or on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.

Revenues for the quarter increased $75 million or 5% compared to the same period in the prior year primarily due to ramp up in volume on existing and new contracts and from the acquisition of SilverEdge of $20 million, partially offset by contract completions.

Adjusted operating income as a percentage of revenues increased compared to the same period in the prior year primarily due to improved profitability across our contract portfolio.

Second Quarter Civilian Results

Revenues for the quarter increased $36 million or 9% compared to the same period in the prior year primarily due to ramp up in volume on existing and new contracts, partially offset by contract completions.

Adjusted operating income as a percentage of revenues decreased compared to the same period in the prior year primarily due to timing and volume mix in our contract portfolio.

Second Quarter Corporate Results

Adjusted operating loss was $3 million for the current quarter compared to an adjusted operating income of $4 million during the same period in the prior year primarily due to higher selling, general and administrative expenses, including recovery of costs from the settlement of a patent infringement matter in the prior year.

SAIC segregates backlog into two categories, funded backlog and negotiated unfunded backlog. Funded backlog for contracts with government agencies primarily represents contracts for which funding is appropriated less revenues previously recognized on these contracts, and does not include the unfunded portion of contracts where funding is incrementally appropriated or authorized by the U.S. government and other customers even though the contract may call for performance over a number of years. Funded backlog for contracts with non-government agencies represents the estimated value of contracts which may cover multiple future years under which SAIC is obligated to perform, less revenues previously recognized on these contracts. Negotiated unfunded backlog represents the estimated future revenues to be earned from negotiated contracts for which funding has not been appropriated or authorized, and unexercised priced contract options. Negotiated unfunded backlog does not include any estimate of future potential task orders expected to be awarded under indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity (IDIQ), U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) schedules or other master agreement contract vehicles, with the exception of certain IDIQ contracts where task orders are not competitively awarded and separately priced but instead are used as a funding mechanism, and where there is a basis for estimating future revenues and funding on future anticipated task orders.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
(Unaudited)

This schedule describes the consolidated non-GAAP financial measures included in this earnings release. While we believe that these non-GAAP financial measures provide management and investors with useful information in assessing trends in our ongoing operating performance and may provide greater visibility in understanding our long-term financial performance, they should be considered as supplemental in nature and not as a substitute for financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. Reconciliations, definitions, and how we believe these measures are useful to management and investors are provided below. Other companies may define similar measures differently.

Non-GAAP Definitions

Organic growth: Organic growth is a performance measure that excludes the impact of acquisitions and divestitures. Organic growth is calculated by taking consolidated revenues and excluding revenues from acquisitions and divestitures during the periods presented, when applicable.

Adjusted operating income: Adjusted operating income is a performance measure that primarily excludes the impact of non-recurring transactions and activities that we do not consider to be indicative of our ongoing operating performance. Adjusted operating income is calculated by taking operating income and excluding amortization of intangible assets, depreciation of property, plant, and equipment, acquisition, integration, restructuring, and impairment costs, and any other material non-recurring costs. Adjusted operating income excludes amortization of intangible assets because we do not have a history of significant acquisition activity, we do not acquire businesses on a predictable cycle, and the amount of an acquisition's purchase price allocated to intangible assets and the related amortization term are unique to each acquisition.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA: EBITDA is a performance measure that is calculated by taking net income and excluding interest and loss on sale of receivables, provision for income taxes, and depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is a performance measure that excludes the impact of non-recurring transactions and activities that we do not consider to be indicative of our ongoing operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated by taking EBITDA and excluding acquisition, integration, restructuring and impairment costs, and any other material non-recurring costs.

Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share: Adjusted diluted earnings per share is a performance measure that excludes the impact of non-recurring transactions and activities that we do not consider to be indicative of our ongoing operating performance. Adjusted diluted earnings per share excludes amortization of intangible assets because we do not have a history of significant acquisition activity, we do not acquire businesses on a predictable cycle, and the amount of an acquisition's purchase price allocated to intangible assets and the related amortization term are unique to each acquisition.

Free Cash Flow: Free cash flow is calculated by taking cash flows provided by operating activities less expenditures for property, plant, and equipment and less cash flows from our Master Accounts Receivable Purchasing Agreement ("MARPA") Facility for the sale of certain designated eligible U.S. government receivables. Under the MARPA Facility, the Company can sell eligible receivables up to a maximum amount of $300 million. We believe that free cash flow provides management and investors with useful information in assessing trends in our cash flows and in comparing them to other peer companies, many of whom present similar non-GAAP liquidity measures. This measure should not be considered as a measure of residual cash flow available for discretionary purposes.

Acquisition, integration, restructuring and impairment costs: Acquisition and integration costs represent costs incurred related to our acquisitions and subsequent integration with acquired businesses. Restructuring and impairment costs represent costs incurred related to internal reorganizations and initiatives (e.g., Project Orbit), facilities optimization efforts, and impairments of long-lived assets, along with associated depreciation.

Recovery of acquisition, integration, restructuring and impairment costs: Recovery of acquisition, integration, restructuring and impairment costs represents costs recovered through our indirect rates in accordance with Cost Accounting Standards.

Costs related to the settlement of federal tax audits: Costs related to the settlement of federal tax audits represent costs related to the IRS audit settlement for fiscal years 2016 through 2019.

Gain on divestitures, net of transaction costs: The gain on divestitures includes gains recognized related to divestitures, net of transaction costs.

We believe that these performance measures provide management and investors with useful information in assessing trends in our ongoing operating performance and may provide greater visibility in understanding our long-term financial performance.

Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC) Q2 2027 Earnings Call Transcript

Science Applications International Is a Wicked Hot Buy in JuneScience Applications International NASDAQ: SAIC reported second-quarter fiscal 2027 revenue of $1.9 billion, up approximately 5% organically, as the company cited broad-based growth across its markets and stronger conversion of existing contract backlog into revenue.

Adjusted EBITDA totaled $193 million, producing a 10.3% margin. Adjusted diluted earnings per share were $3.01, down from the prior year because the previous-year period included a favorable legal settlement, partially offset by a lower share count. Free cash flow was $131 million, while net leverage declined to 3.0 times.

Chief Executive Officer Jim Reagan said the company’s performance exceeded its expectations, supported by program execution, operational efficiency and on-contract growth. “These results reflect our team’s focus on driving program performance and operational efficiency, resulting in organic growth, double-digit margins, and robust free cash flow,” Reagan said.

Guidance Raised Following First-Half Performance SAIC increased its fiscal 2027 outlook for revenue, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted earnings per share. The company raised revenue guidance by 2% at the midpoint to $7.25 billion, reflecting an expected organic revenue change ranging from a 2% contraction to flat for the full year.

The forecast implies second-half revenue contraction, largely due to the RITS contract rolling off, which management said will create an approximately 350-basis-point headwind during the second half.

The company also increased its adjusted EBITDA outlook by 4% at the midpoint and now expects margins of 10.3% to 10.5%, 20 basis points above its previous outlook. SAIC expects free cash flow of at least $600 million, or $14 per share, for the year.

Chief Financial Officer Prabu Natarajan said the company expects second-half margins in the high-9% range as it makes targeted investments in high-priority areas. Those investments include capital expenditures, with approximately $25 million spent during the first half to support growth opportunities.

On-Contract Growth Offsets Uneven Award Environment SAIC reported on-contract growth of 9% during the quarter, exceeding its plans. Natarajan said management is assuming on-contract growth of roughly 5% for the second half, compared with a prior expectation of 2% to 3%.

Approximately half of the company’s on-contract growth this year is expected to come from several programs won in fiscal 2025 and fiscal 2026 that ramped more slowly last year. Those programs generated about $350 million in revenue last year and are expected to produce approximately $500 million this year. SAIC reported about $240 million from those programs in the first half.

Management said federal customers have been moving money more quickly onto existing contracts, supporting revenue growth. However, the procurement environment remains uneven. SAIC reported a quarterly book-to-bill ratio of 0.6 and a trailing 12-month ratio of 0.8, though management said the quarterly ratio would have been closer to 1.0 without a delayed large recompete award that was booked two days after the quarter ended.

Natarajan said slower requests for proposals and award decisions have led to contract extensions and greater utilization of contract ceilings. The company expects it could finish the year near a 1.0 book-to-bill ratio as its business-development team increases submissions.

Reagan said SAIC’s recompete win rate exceeded 90% during the quarter, a level the company views as its standard for success. Management also expects new-business win rates of at least 30% as it concentrates bidding activity on opportunities where it believes it has a strong chance to win.

Intel Space Wins and Border Security Recompete SAIC booked more than $1.6 billion in intelligence and space awards during the first half of fiscal 2027, ahead of recent trends, Reagan said. The work includes engineering programs supporting the space superiority market.

The company also won a recompete to support hardware, software integration and interoperability for the U.S. Army as it deploys new battlefield technologies. After the quarter ended, SAIC secured a significant recompete for a border-security program, extending its role in providing an integrated software and hardware solution. The win followed a successful Department of Homeland Security recompete in the prior quarter.

Reagan said the awards demonstrate the company’s role in integrating advanced technology and domain expertise across intelligence, defense and civilian markets.

Project ORBIT Targets $150 Million in Run-Rate Savings SAIC is entering the implementation phase of Project ORBIT, or Optimizing Resources for a Better Impact Tomorrow, an initiative focused on operational efficiency, process improvements and capacity expansion. The company expects ORBIT to generate approximately $150 million in annual run-rate savings by the end of its three-year implementation period.

About two-thirds of the projected savings, or $100 million, is expected to be reinvested in the business through new initiatives, expanded capacity on existing contracts and improved competitiveness. The remaining savings are expected to support margin expansion.

Natarajan said the initiative was developed from approximately 3,500 employee-generated ideas, with efforts spanning procurement, recruiting, process simplification, automation and mission delivery. The company expects procurement changes, described as “buy smarter,” to represent the largest and longest-term opportunity.

Management said ORBIT supports a target of mid-10% margins next year and a path toward approximately 11% margins in fiscal 2030. Natarajan said the company would ideally improve margins by 20 to 30 basis points in fiscal 2029 before reaching the longer-term target, though he cautioned that the progression may not be linear.

SAIC also said it is conducting a portfolio and strategy review, including consideration of merger-and-acquisition opportunities. Reagan said the company does not anticipate a sharp change in its identity or business focus, but expects to provide a broader strategy and portfolio update during its December earnings call.

On contracting trends, Natarajan said fixed-price work represents roughly 15% to 18% of current sales, while about one-third of the company’s pipeline is fixed-price. He said the shift toward outcome-oriented and fixed-price work is gradual, with civilian customers further along than defense and intelligence customers. SAIC is training program managers and contract teams to prepare for a broader transition.

Management said it assumes the government will begin its next fiscal year under a continuing resolution and is not incorporating material improvement in the procurement environment into its outlook for the remainder of fiscal 2027.

SAIC (SAIC - Free Report) came out with quarterly earnings of $3.01 per share, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $2.25 per share. This compares to earnings of $3.63 per share a year ago. These figures are adjusted for non-recurring items.

This quarterly report represents an earnings surprise of +33.78%. A quarter ago, it was expected that this information technology company would post earnings of $2.26 per share when it actually produced earnings of $3.23, delivering a surprise of +42.92%.

Over the last four quarters, the company has surpassed consensus EPS estimates four times.

SAIC, which belongs to the Zacks Computers - IT Services industry, posted revenues of $1.88 billion for the quarter ended July 2026, surpassing the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 7.52%. This compares to year-ago revenues of $1.77 billion. The company has topped consensus revenue estimates four times 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.

SAIC shares have added about 25.1% since the beginning of the year versus the S&P 500's gain of 12.7%.

What's Next for SAIC?While SAIC has outperformed 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 SAIC was favorable. 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 #2 (Buy) for the stock. So, the shares are expected to outperform 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 $2.41 on $1.81 billion in revenues for the coming quarter and $10.01 on $7.16 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, Computers - IT Services is currently in the top 33% 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.

Another stock from the same industry, C3.ai, Inc. (AI - Free Report) , has yet to report results for the quarter ended July 2026. The results are expected to be released on September 2.

This company is expected to post quarterly loss of $0.26 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of +29.7%. The consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has remained unchanged over the last 30 days.

C3.ai, Inc.'s revenues are expected to be $51.46 million, down 26.8% from the year-ago quarter.

Science Applications International Corporation (NASDAQ:SAIC) will release its second quarter earnings report before the opening bell on Monday, Aug. 31.

Analysts expect the company to report quarterly earnings of $2.31 per share, down from $3.63 per share in the year-ago period. The consensus estimate for SAIC’s quarterly revenue is $1.76 billion. It reported $1.77 billion last year, according to Benzinga Pro.

According to recent news, SAIC, on Aug. 10, named David Benson and David Cush to its board of directors.

With the recent buzz around SAIC, some investors may be eyeing potential gains from the company’s dividends too. As of now, SAIC has an annual dividend yield of 1.15%, which is a quarterly dividend amount of 37 cents per share ($1.48 a year).

So, how can investors leverage its dividend yield to pocket a regular $500 per month?

To earn $500 per month or $6,000 annually from dividends alone, you would need an investment of approximately $522,804 or around 4,054 shares. For a more modest $100 per month or $1,200 per year, you would need $104,587 or around 811 shares.

Trending

To calculate: Divide the desired annual income ($6,000 or $1,200) by the dividend ($1.48 in this case). So, $6,000 / $1.48 = 4,054 ($500 per month), and $1,200 / $1.48 = 811 shares ($100 per month).

Note that dividend yield can change on a rolling basis, as the dividend payment and the stock price both fluctuate over time.

How that works: The dividend yield is computed by dividing the annual dividend payment by the stock’s current price.

For example, if a stock pays an annual dividend of $2 and is currently priced at $50, the dividend yield would be 4% ($2/$50). However, if the stock price increases to $60, the dividend yield drops to 3.33% ($2/$60). Conversely, if the stock price falls to $40, the dividend yield rises to 5% ($2/$40).

Similarly, changes in the dividend payment can impact the yield. If a company increases its dividend, the yield will also increase, provided the stock price stays the same. Conversely, if the dividend payment decreases, so will the yield.

A strong stock as of late has been SAIC (SAIC - Free Report) . Shares have been marching higher, with the stock up 11.4% over the past month. The stock hit a new 52-week high of $130.53 in the previous session. SAIC has gained 28.1% since the start of the year compared to the 17.9% gain for the Zacks Computer and Technology sector and the -11.4% return for the Zacks Computers - IT Services industry.

What's Driving the Outperformance?The stock has an impressive record of positive earnings surprises, having beaten the Zacks Consensus Estimate in each of the last four quarters. In its last earnings report on June 1, 2026, SAIC reported EPS of $3.23 versus consensus estimate of $2.26.

For the current fiscal year, SAIC is expected to post earnings of $10.01 per share on $7.16 in revenues. This represents a -6.88% change in EPS on a -1.35% change in revenues. For the next fiscal year, the company is expected to earn $10.79 per share on $7.3 in revenues. This represents a year-over-year change of 7.82% and 1.9%, respectively.

Valuation MetricsWhile SAIC has moved to its 52-week high over the past few weeks, investors need to be asking, what is next for the company? A key aspect of this question is taking a look at valuation metrics in order to determine if the company is due for a pullback from this level.

On this front, we can look at the Zacks Style Scores, as these give investors a variety of ways to comb through stocks (beyond looking at the Zacks Rank of a security). The individual style scores for Value, Growth, Momentum and the combined VGM Score run from A through F. Investors should consider the style scores a valuable tool that can help you to pick the most appropriate Zacks Rank stocks based on their individual investment style.

SAIC has a Value Score of A. The stock's Growth and Momentum Scores are A and D, respectively, giving the company a VGM Score of A.

In terms of its value breakdown, the stock currently trades at 12.9X current fiscal year EPS estimates, which is not in-line with the peer industry average of 13.8X. On a trailing cash flow basis, the stock currently trades at 9X versus its peer group's average of 12.3X. This is good enough to put the company in the top echelon of all stocks we cover from a value perspective, making SAIC an interesting choice for value investors.

Zacks RankWe also need to look at the Zacks Rank for the stock, as this is even more important than the company's VGM Score. Fortunately, SAIC currently has a Zacks Rank of #2 (Buy) thanks to a solid earnings estimate revision trend.

Since we recommend that investors select stocks carrying Zacks Rank of 1 (Strong Buy) or 2 (Buy) and Style Scores of A or B, it looks as if SAIC fits the bill. Thus, it seems as though SAIC shares could have potential in the weeks and months to come.

How Does SAIC Stack Up to the Competition?Shares of SAIC have been soaring, and the company still appears to be a decent choice, but what about the rest of the industry? One industry peer that looks good is Grid Dynamics Holdings, Inc. (GDYN - Free Report) . GDYN has a Zacks Rank of #2 (Buy) and a Value Score of B, a Growth Score of C, and a Momentum Score of B.

Earnings were strong last quarter. Grid Dynamics Holdings, Inc. beat our consensus estimate by 10.00%, and for the current fiscal year, GDYN is expected to post earnings of $0.42 per share on revenue of $437.65 million.

Shares of Grid Dynamics Holdings, Inc. have gained 11.8% over the past month, and currently trade at a forward P/E of 18.9X and a P/CF of 19.34X.

The Computers - IT Services industry is in the top 38% of all the industries we have in our universe, so it looks like there are some nice tailwinds for SAIC and GDYN, even beyond their own solid fundamental situation.

Science Applications stands out over Accenture on valuation, price performance and backlog strength, making it the more attractive IT services pick.

RESTON, Va., Aug. 13, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Science Applications International Corp. (NASDAQ: SAIC) is scheduled to issue its second quarter fiscal year 2027 results before market open on Monday, August 31, 2026. SAIC executive management will discuss operational and financial results in a conference call beginning at 10:00 a.m. EDT, following the issuance of the company's earnings press release.

Have you been paying attention to shares of SAIC (SAIC - Free Report) ? Shares have been on the move with the stock up 9% over the past month. The stock hit a new 52-week high of $125.63 in the previous session. SAIC has gained 23.5% since the start of the year compared to the 16.8% gain for the Zacks Computer and Technology sector and the -17.1% return for the Zacks Computers - IT Services industry.

What's Driving the Outperformance?The stock has an impressive record of positive earnings surprises, having beaten the Zacks Consensus Estimate in each of the last four quarters. In its last earnings report on June 1, 2026, SAIC reported EPS of $3.23 versus consensus estimate of $2.26.

For the current fiscal year, SAIC is expected to post earnings of $10.01 per share on $7.16 in revenues. This represents a -6.88% change in EPS on a -2.53% change in revenues. For the next fiscal year, the company is expected to earn $10.79 per share on $7.3 in revenues. This represents a year-over-year change of 7.82% and 1.9%, respectively.

Valuation MetricsThough SAIC has recently hit a 52-week high, what is next for SAIC? A key aspect of this question is taking a look at valuation metrics in order to determine if the company has run ahead of itself.

On this front, we can look at the Zacks Style Scores, as these give investors a variety of ways to comb through stocks (beyond looking at the Zacks Rank of a security). The individual style scores for Value, Growth, Momentum and the combined VGM Score run from A through F. Investors should consider the style scores a valuable tool that can help you to pick the most appropriate Zacks Rank stocks based on their individual investment style.

SAIC has a Value Score of A. The stock's Growth and Momentum Scores are A and D, respectively, giving the company a VGM Score of A.

In terms of its value breakdown, the stock currently trades at 12.4X current fiscal year EPS estimates, which is not in-line with the peer industry average of 14.2X. On a trailing cash flow basis, the stock currently trades at 8.6X versus its peer group's average of 12.3X. This is good enough to put the company in the top echelon of all stocks we cover from a value perspective, making SAIC an interesting choice for value investors.

Zacks RankWe also need to look at the Zacks Rank for the stock, as this is even more important than the company's VGM Score. Fortunately, SAIC currently has a Zacks Rank of #2 (Buy) thanks to a solid earnings estimate revision trend.

Since we recommend that investors select stocks carrying Zacks Rank of 1 (Strong Buy) or 2 (Buy) and Style Scores of A or B, it looks as if SAIC passes the test. Thus, it seems as though SAIC shares could have a bit more room to run in the near term.

How Does SAIC Stack Up to the Competition?Shares of SAIC have been soaring, and the company still appears to be a decent choice, but what about the rest of the industry? One industry peer that looks good is Grid Dynamics Holdings, Inc. (GDYN - Free Report) . GDYN has a Zacks Rank of #1 (Strong Buy) and a Value Score of B, a Growth Score of C, and a Momentum Score of A.

Shares of Grid Dynamics Holdings, Inc. have gained 28% over the past month, and currently trade at a forward P/E of 18.16X and a P/CF of 18.58X.

The Computers - IT Services industry may rank in the bottom 63% of all the industries we have in our universe, but there still looks like there are some nice tailwinds for SAIC and GDYN, even beyond their own solid fundamental situation.

Here at Zacks, our focus is on the proven Zacks Rank system, which emphasizes earnings estimates and estimate revisions to find great stocks. Nevertheless, we are always paying attention to the latest value, growth, and momentum trends to underscore strong picks.

Of these, value investing is easily one of the most popular ways to find great stocks in any market environment. Value investors use a variety of methods, including tried-and-true valuation metrics, to find these stocks.

On top of the Zacks Rank, investors can also look at our innovative Style Scores system to find stocks with specific traits. For example, value investors will want to focus on the "Value" category. Stocks with high Zacks Ranks and "A" grades for Value will be some of the highest-quality value stocks on the market today.

One company value investors might notice is Science Applications International (SAIC - Free Report) . SAIC is currently sporting a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy) and an A for Value. The stock is trading with P/E ratio of 11.01 right now. For comparison, its industry sports an average P/E of 16.89. Over the last 12 months, SAIC's Forward P/E has been as high as 17.39 and as low as 10.50, with a median of 12.32.

Value investors also frequently use the P/S ratio. This metric is found by dividing a stock's price with the company's revenue. This is a preferred metric because revenue can't really be manipulated, so sales are often a truer performance indicator. SAIC has a P/S ratio of 0.65. This compares to its industry's average P/S of 1.51.

These figures are just a handful of the metrics value investors tend to look at, but they help show that Science Applications International is likely being undervalued right now. Considering this, as well as the strength of its earnings outlook, SAIC feels like a great value stock at the moment.

A month has gone by since the last earnings report for SAIC (SAIC - Free Report) . Shares have lost about 2.6% in that time frame, underperforming the S&P 500.

But investors have to be wondering, will the recent negative trend continue leading up to its next earnings release, or is SAIC due for a breakout? Well, first let's take a quick look at its most recent earnings report in order to get a better handle on the recent drivers for Science Applications International Corporation before we dive into how investors and analysts have reacted as of late.

Science Applications' Q1 Earnings Beat Expectations, Revenues Rise Y/YScience Applications International reported better-than-expected results for the first quarter of fiscal 2027, wherein both top and bottom lines surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate.

SAIC’s non-GAAP earnings of $3.23 per share beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $2.26 by 42.9%. The bottom line increased 68.2% from the year-ago quarter’s earnings of $1.92.

Science Applications' fiscal first-quarter revenues increased 1.5% year over year to $1.91 billion and surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.78 billion by 6.9%.

Net bookings were approximately $2.1 billion in the first quarter, which reflected a book-to-bill ratio of 1.1. The company’s trailing 12-month book-to-bill ratio was 1.0 at the end of the fiscal first quarter. SAIC’s estimated backlog at the end of the quarter was approximately $22.9 billion. Of the total backlog amount, approximately $3.7 billion was funded.

Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses decreased 6.7% to $83 million. SG&A expenses, as a percentage of revenues, declined to 4.4% from 4.7% in the year-ago quarter.

Non-GAAP operating income increased year over year to $221 million from the year-ago quarter’s operating income of $158 million. The non-GAAP operating margin expanded 320 basis points (bps) year over year to 11.6%.

Adjusted EBITDA rose 41% to $222 million. Adjusted EBITDA margin for the quarter was 11.6% compared with 8.4% in the prior-year quarter.

Balance Sheet & Cash Flow Details of SAICScience Applications ended the fiscal first quarter with cash and cash equivalents of $109 million, significantly down from the previous quarter’s $182 million.

As of May 1, 2026, Science Applications’ long-term debt (net of the current portion) was $2.46 billion compared with $2.47 billion as of Jan. 30, 2026.

The company generated operating and free cash flows of $127 million and $118 million, respectively, in the fiscal first quarter.

During the fiscal first quarter, Science Applications repurchased shares worth $175 million and paid $17 million in dividends.

SAIC Provides Fiscal 2027 GuidanceScience Applications expects fiscal 2027 revenues between $7 billion and $7.2 billion.

Adjusted EBITDA is anticipated to be in the range of $720-$730 million, up from the earlier guidance of $705-$715 million. Adjusted EBITDA margin is expected to be in the band of 10.1-10.3%, up from the previous guided range of 9.9-10.1% band.

The company forecasts adjusted EPS in the range of $9.90-$10.10, up from the earlier guidance of $9.50-$9.70.

Science Applications estimates free cash flow for fiscal 2027 to exceed $600 million.

How Have Estimates Been Moving Since Then?It turns out, fresh estimates have trended downward during the past month.

VGM ScoresAt this time, SAIC has a great Growth Score of A, though it is lagging a lot on the Momentum Score front with a D. However, the stock was allocated a score of A on the value side, putting it in the top 20% for this investment strategy.

Overall, the stock has an aggregate VGM Score of A. If you aren't focused on one strategy, this score is the one you should be interested in.

OutlookEstimates have been broadly trending downward for the stock, and the magnitude of these revisions indicates a downward shift. Notably, SAIC has a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold). We expect an in-line return from the stock in the next few months.

National Capitol Classic golf fundraiser at the historic Army Navy Country Club, co-hosted with SAIC and Amazon Web Services, raised funds to support these veterans and their families and expand Building Homes for Heroes' impact nationwide

, /PRNewswire/ -- Building Homes for Heroes, joined by corporate partners Science Applications International Corp. (NASDAQ: SAIC) and Amazon Web Services, announced yesterday it will gift mortgage-free homes to U.S. Air Force Staff Sergeant, Gregory Walker and Army Specialist, Ryan Heard, two injured veterans whose service and sacrifice exemplify the very best of our armed forces. The home gifts will provide long-term stability for both veterans and their families as they continue their road to recovery.

Members of Building Homes for Heroes, SAIC and AWS gather at the second annual National Capitol Classic golf outing at Army Navy Country Club in Washington, D.C., where Building Homes for Heroes announced mortgage-free home gifts for two injured veterans. (PRNewsfoto/Building Homes For Heroes) These gifts are made possible through the steadfast support of Building Homes for Heroes' valued partners, SAIC and AWS, and were the highlight of the second annual National Capitol Classic golf outing hosted by the three organizations at the historic Army Navy Country Club. The event brought together corporate partners, community supporters, and veterans to raise awareness and support for Building Homes for Heroes' mission of building better and brighter lives for our nation's heroes.

The announcement was the culmination of a day of celebration of our nation's heroes, as patriotic corporations, hundreds of supporters, and dozens of veterans gathered for the golf outing in support of Building Homes for Heroes' mission. As the organization marks its 20th anniversary in 2026, it continues to build on its commitment with their 50+500+5,000 campaign: constructing, gifting and modifying a record 50 homes this year, reaching its milestone 500th home before the end of 2026, and supporting more than 5,000 veterans, first responders, and their family members through all its programs since 2006.

The Veterans Receiving Mortgage-Free Homes

Walker enlisted in the Air Force in 2008 and served for more than 12 years, including three deployments to Afghanistan. During his service and in the years following, Walker was diagnosed with Synovial Sarcoma, a rare cancer that ultimately resulted in the amputation of his left leg below the knee. Despite these challenges, he has remained deeply committed to his fellow veterans and the adaptive sports community, competing in the Invictus Games and training to become a Paralympic athlete.

"Presenting Staff Sergeant Walker and Specialist Heard with mortgage-free homes is a powerful reminder of our responsibility to the men and women who have served our country," said Andy Pujol, founder and CEO of Building Homes for Heroes. "Between Staff Sergeant Walker's determination in the face of a life-changing diagnosis, and Specialist Heard's courage under fire in Afghanistan and his ongoing recovery from a traumatic brain injury, these are the stories that drive our mission every day. Homes like these are made possible through our valued partnerships with organizations like SAIC and AWS, whose unwavering support allows us to create life-changing moments for deserving heroes and their families."

Inspired by his father's 23 years of service in the Florida National Guard and driven by the events of September 11, 2001, Heard enlisted in the Army in February 2007 out of Jacksonville, Florida. During his more than six years of service, Heard completed two deployments to Iraq and one to Afghanistan. On July 7, 2013, while conducting a counter-IED mission in Afghanistan's Logar Province, he and three fellow soldiers triggered a pressure-plate IED. The explosion left him with a severe traumatic brain injury, and despite his injuries, he helped treat wounded comrades and coordinate medical evacuation before losing consciousness. Today, Heard lives with a TBI, PTSD, chronic migraines, and numerous other service-connected conditions, and has found healing through nature-based therapy, including fishing, kayaking, and equine therapy programs for veterans. He is a Purple Heart recipient, and together with his partner, is raising two young children, driven by his dreams of providing a stable home for his family in Tampa, Florida.

"Helping warriors like Staff Sergeant Walker and Specialist Heard with mortgage-free homes is a great way to take purposeful action during Military Appreciation Month," said SAIC CEO Jim Reagan. "SAIC is proud to collaborate with Amazon Web Services and the many other corporate partners who attended today's golf fundraiser for Building Homes for Heroes, an extraordinary organization that is making a huge difference for veterans, their families, and Gold Star families."

The GF Valuation label describes SAIC as "Modestly Undervalued," hinting at a potential opportunity for long-term growth if market conditions align favorably.

While being undervalued presents a potential investment opportunity, caveats remain. Market conditions can be unpredictable, influencing stock prices independent of intrinsic value calculations. GF Value™ is GuruFocus' proprietary measure of intrinsic value, calculated from historical trading multiples, past business growth, and future performance estimates. Therefore, while the current valuation may suggest a favorable entry point, investors should consider broader economic factors and company fundamentals before making any decisions.

Metric Current Historical P/E (TTM) 13.0x 17.0x Forward P/E 10.5x N/A Currently, SAIC’s P/E ratio of 13.0x is well below its 5-year median P/E of 17.0x, indicating that the stock is trading at a discount compared to its historical valuation.

The strongest aspect of SAIC's profile is its profitability, scoring 9/10, indicating robust earnings capabilities. However, the momentum rank of 2/10 highlights a potential concern, suggesting that the stock may not be experiencing favorable price trends at this time. Overall, the combination of a high profitability rank and moderate scores in other categories suggests that while SAIC has strong foundational elements, it could benefit from improved momentum in the market.
