Margins, % of revenue
Margins, % of revenue
In plain words: Revenue is all the money customers paid. The margins show how many cents of each dollar of sales are left over at each step: after making the product (gross), after running the business (operating) and after everything, tax included (net).
Loss periods are shown in red.
KIRA summarises the numbers

How much cash comes in, and where does it go?
Cash from operations minus capital spending.
KIRA summarises the numbers
Free cash flow was $577M in fiscal 2026, 8.0% of revenue.

In plain words: Profit on paper is not the same as cash in the bank. Free cash flow is the cash left after paying to run and maintain the business: the money it can hand back to shareholders, save or invest.

Science Applications Intl returned $515M to shareholders in fiscal 2026, 89% of free cash flow.
The diluted share count fell 7.9%.
Dividends and buybacks

What does the share cost, and how does it compare?
What could happen to the share if things go badly, normally or very well? Pick a story or make your own. These are examples, not forecasts or price targets.

Share in 5 years
$154.08
+1% a year
If you put in $1,000 today: $1,030
At 18x, the share would still be worth today’s price in 5 years even if earnings fell 0.6% a year.
These are examples, not forecasts: nobody knows which will happen. Price in 5 years = earnings per share then × the P/E then. Dividends are not included.
Value per share
—
Adds net cash of −$2.3B and divides by 46.5M diluted shares. Ten years of cash flows plus a terminal value, discounted to today.
Value per share
—
Reference multiples: today 17.0x · peers 22.4x · sector 26.0x.
In plain words: In the long run a share tends to follow two things: how much the company earns per share, and how many times those earnings the market is willing to pay (the P/E). Move those two levers and you see what the share could be worth. Different guesses give very different answers.
