Valuation
Project earnings forward and see what return today's price implies.
EPS was negative in at least one boundary year, so a compound growth rate can't be computed from it. Set your own assumption.
- EPS in 5 years
- $0.19
- Implied price
- $3.38
- Return from $43.07
- -39.9% a year
To earn 15.0% a year on these assumptions you'd need to buy at $1.68 — -96.1% below today's price.
How sensitive is that answer?
Annual return across nearby assumptions. If the result is only attractive in one corner, that is the finding.
| growth \ P/E | 12 | 15 | 18 | 21 | 24 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| -2.0% | -49.7% | -47.4% | -45.5% | -43.8% | -42.2% |
| 3.0% | -47.1% | -44.7% | -42.7% | -40.9% | -39.3% |
| 8.0% | -44.6% | -42.0% | -39.9% | -38.0% | -36.3% |
| 13.0% | -42.0% | -39.4% | -37.1% | -35.1% | -33.4% |
| 18.0% | -39.4% | -36.7% | -34.3% | -32.3% | -30.4% |
This is arithmetic on assumptions you chose, not a forecast or a recommendation. It ignores dividends, buybacks, share issuance and debt, and it assumes a company still earning money in 5 years. Change any input and the answer changes a lot — that sensitivity is the honest result, not a flaw in the model.

KTOS's growth engines include hypersonics, missile components, and satellite C2, with strong government and peer demand driving the backlog to $2.08B. Despite robust revenue growth and expanding backlog, KTOS operates with thin margins, negative free cash flow, and high CapEx, reflecting early-stage operating leverage.

Kratos: A Cautious Buy At The Inflection Point, Hinged On Margin Improvement Kratos is rated a buy, driven by strong Q2 earnings beats and robust forward guidance, despite a recent stock pullback. KTOS's investment thesis centers on resilient near-term revenues, a $2.08B backlog, and expanding production capacity, but hinges on margin improvement. Valuation is stretched—current price implies growth far above guidance; the market is paying for a long-term terminal story, not near-term value.
