Trevor Rose’s Insights - Trevor’s most-liked answers from 5i Research

LDOS is a $20B market cap company providing scientific, engineering and technical services. The stock is up 36% YTD and 90% over one year. It trades at 16X earnings, with a 1.03% dividend. Historical growth has been very solid, and it generates good cash flow. The last quarter was excellent and EPS beat estimates by 35%. Estimates have also been moving up. There is a lot to like here for sure. Our main concern would be debt, at about 4X cash flow. But based on its growth and execution we would not see this as particularly problematic.
