What the Analysts think about KTOS
Analyst ratings (Buy, Hold, Sell) for Kratos Defense & Security Solutions stock.
Analyst projections of the future price of Kratos Defense & Security Solutions stock.
Bulls say / Bears say
Second-quarter revenue rose 30.5%, including 19.1% organic growth, and Kratos raised its 2026 revenue outlook. A 1.3-times trailing book-to-bill ratio and $2.08bn backlog support visibility into further growth. (Kratos Defense)
Kratos is expanding its Oklahoma factory by more than 100,000 square feet to meet demand for its jet drones, including Valkyrie. The company says the site’s added capacity will help it scale production beyond its current rate of about 165 drones a year. (Kratos Defense)
Turbine Technologies grew 43.3% organically in the second quarter, while Kratos is preparing to produce 3,000 small turbojet engines in 2027 to address expected missile demand. If that production ramp is delivered, engines could provide another growth driver alongside drones. (Kratos Defense)
Growth is consuming cash: Kratos used $18.9m of free cash flow in the second quarter and forecast a full-year 2026 free-cash-flow use of $85m–$105m. The company also expects substantial investment in facilities and production to continue into 2027. (Kratos Defense)
Profitability remains thin: Kratos reported a $1.6m operating loss in the second quarter despite $458.8m of revenue. Management also flagged investment and cost pressures, as well as an adverse currency effect on its Israeli operations, which could hold back margin improvement. (Kratos Defense)
The shares leave little room for execution setbacks: a recent analysis put Kratos’ enterprise-value-to-sales multiple about 60% above the sector. At that premium, delays in turning growth plans into stronger margins and cash flow could prompt a sharp valuation reset. (Seeking Alpha)
