$156M DOE Contract for Mobile C-UAS Platforms Awarded to Kratos
KTOS is trading near its 52-week low of $45.58 (3.1% above the low).
Summary
Kratos won a sole-source $156M IDIQ contract from the DOE's NNSA Office of Secure Transportation to deliver mobile counter-drone systems under Project Solar Shield. The award is for a mission-ready platform that detects, tracks, and neutralizes hostile drones, protecting nuclear material transports. This follows a string of recent wins, including $400M from the Department of War for hypersonic systems and a facility expansion in Oklahoma City, reinforcing Kratos's momentum in high-priority defense programs. The contract starts immediately and adds to a growing backlog, with the stock trading near its 52-week low, potentially undervaluing the recent contract surge.
At the time of this announcement, KTOS was trading at $47.00 on NASDAQ in the Technology sector, with a market capitalization of approximately $8.6B. The 52-week trading range was $45.58 to $134.00.
