Kratos Posts Flat Q3 EPS of 0c as Shares Sit Near 52-Week Low
KTOS is trading near its 52-week low of $32.5 (2.0% above the low) on elevated volume (2.1× avg).
Summary
Kratos reported third-quarter EPS of 0 cents, a flat bottom line that leaves the profit story unresolved, and a net loss of $200,000. Revenue came in at $471.8M. The print lands after a strong second quarter — $458.8M revenue, up 30.5% year over year, with a record $2.08B backlog and $1.44B in cash against no long-term debt — so the question is whether margin conversion is lagging the top-line growth. The stock at $33.15 is trading near its 52-week low of $32.50, far below the $134 high, so expectations are already depressed and a zero-EPS quarter does little to change that. The headline carries no guidance or segment detail, so the full release and any updated outlook are where the real information sits.
