The FY27 revenue guidance of 0-4% growth implies the multi-quarter revenue decline may be bottoming, but adjusted EPS guidance of $6.00-$6.35 (down from $6.51 excluding one-time items) suggests margin pressure. Civil revenue decline of 22% in FY26 is structural, driven by government procurement slowdown. Watch for Q1 FY27 revenue trends and civil segment stabilization as key catalysts. The stock's 9% analyst bullish rating and prior T+20 underperformance (-9.94% on last neutral report) suggest downside risk remains elevated.
Price Chart
Executive Summary
Booz Allen Hamilton reported Q4 FY26 results with revenue of $2.78B (down 6.4% YoY) and adjusted diluted EPS of $1.78 (up 10.6% YoY). Full-year FY26 revenue declined 6.4% to $11.2B, while adjusted EBITDA fell 6.5% to $1.23B. The company initiated FY27 guidance with revenue of $11.2B-$11.7B (0-4% growth) and adjusted diluted EPS of $6.00-$6.35, which implies a decline from FY26's $6.51 when excluding one-time items. The revenue decline across both Q4 and FY26 is the dominant signal, making this a bearish filing despite EPS growth driven by buybacks and tax benefits.
