Why now
Information Technology Services · market cap $16.5b. Down 36% from 52-week high of $205.77 — deep drawdown territory. 15 sell-side analysts rate this a Buy with a mean 1-yr target of $150.67 (implying +15% upside).
Moat
ROE 28% — top-decile capital efficiency. Either pricing leverage, low capital intensity, or aggressive buybacks; the durability story depends on which. FCF converts 132% of net income — earnings translate cleanly into cash, a sign that working capital and capex are well-disciplined.
Risk
Down 36% from the 52-week high — the market is pricing in something the screen can't see; verify the bear case before sizing up.
Horizon
1-3 yr $150.67 (15-analyst consensus) — multiple re-rating thesis requires a catalyst. 5 yr $190.21 at ~8% CAGR — dividend + buyback compounding. 10 yr $243.94 if the moat survives secular pressure.

Leidos Holdings, Inc. (LDOS): score, valuation & FAQ
Leidos Holdings, Inc. (LDOS) is a Information Technology Services company that scores 67.2 out of 100 on the Bull Rankings quality-growth model — a solid, above-average reading. The score blends three pillars — quality (durable returns, healthy margins, low leverage), growth (revenue and earnings), and value (valuation versus sector peers) — into one number, refreshed daily; it is a screen, not a buy recommendation.
Its strongest graded signals are P/E (A). On valuation, LDOS sits about 64% below our discounted-cash-flow fair value (a margin of safety) — the current price implies roughly -18% annual free-cash-flow growth over the next decade.
Is LDOS a good stock to buy?
Bull Rankings scores LDOS 67.2 out of 100 on its quality-growth model, which is a solid, above-average reading. That is driven by P/E (A). A score is a quantitative screen of Leidos Holdings, Inc.'s fundamentals, not personalised financial advice — weigh it against your own time horizon and risk tolerance, and read the risk factors below before acting.
Why does LDOS score 67.2 on Bull Rankings?
The quality-growth score blends three pillars — quality (returns on capital, margins, leverage, earnings quality), growth (revenue and earnings expansion), and value (valuation versus sector peers). LDOS earns its highest marks on P/E (A). Each pillar is graded against sector-aware thresholds, then combined into the single 0–100 score.
Is LDOS overvalued or undervalued?
Based on $130.92, LDOS sits about 64% below our discounted-cash-flow fair value (a margin of safety) — the current price implies roughly -18% annual free-cash-flow growth over the next decade. It trades at a 11.7x× P/E (graded A). Discounted-cash-flow estimates are sensitive to growth and discount-rate assumptions, so treat this as a cross-check, not a price target.
What are the main risks of investing in LDOS?
Down 36% from the 52-week high — the market is pricing in something the screen can't see; verify the bear case before sizing up.
