Leidos: A Cash-Heavy Defense Play Backing Aggressive Buybacks
Leidos is running a quietly potent cash engine: $1.86B in free cash flow, an EV/EBITDA of ~8 and a market cap near $13.4B. Management has capacity to fund buybacks and dividends while backlog and defense funding remain supportive. This trade idea targets a bounce toward $130 over a mid-term horizon, with a tight stop under the recent low.
