(Analysis by Kalkine Group)
* % Premium/(Discount) is based on our assessment of the company's FY1 trading multiple after considering its key growth drivers, economic moat, stock's historical trading multiples versus peer average/median, and investment risks.
Stock Recommendation:
LDOS' share price has fallen 18.96% in the past twelve months and is currently leaning towards the lower end of its 52-week range of USD 82.75 to USD 108.83. We have valued the stock using the EV/EBITDA-based relative valuation methodology and arrived at a target price of USD 78.10.
Considering the company's leveraged balance sheet, top-line stress, operating at shallow margins, and current valuation, we recommend a "Sell" rating on the stock at the closing price of USD 87.36 as of February 14, 2022.
