Frequently asked questions
What is Kratos Defense & Security Solutions's revenue?
Kratos Defense & Security Solutions's trailing twelve-month revenue is $1.42B, and consensus projects about $4.51B by 2030. Revenue is the top line the whole model builds on, and at this scale the question shifts from how fast it grows to whether margins hold as it compounds.
How profitable is KTOS?
In its most recent fiscal year, KTOS ran a gross margin of 22.15%, an operating margin of 2.06%, and a net margin of 1.63%. Margins this high mean most of each extra dollar of revenue drops through to profit, which is the signature of real pricing power.
How much free cash flow does KTOS generate?
KTOS produced $-137.40M in free cash flow in its most recent fiscal year. Free cash flow is what is left after running and reinvesting in the business, and it is the cash that actually funds buybacks, dividends, and a stronger balance sheet.
Is KTOS's balance sheet healthy?
KTOS holds $560.60M in cash and equivalents against — in long-term debt, on $2.00B of shareholder equity. That debt is best read against the cash flow the business throws off each year.
