What happened

Leidos reported third-quarter 2026 revenue of $4.63 billion, up 3.6% from a year earlier but below analysts’ estimates. It lowered its full-year revenue outlook to $18.1 billion at the midpoint from $18.3 billion, while raising its adjusted earnings-per-share outlook to $12.60.

Global impact / market context

The lower sales outlook may concern investors because it points to less revenue than the company previously expected. The higher adjusted earnings outlook and better-than-expected adjusted profit per share provide a counterpoint, but do not erase the revenue shortfall.

What to watch

  1. Check Leidos’s next revenue report to see whether sales remain below expectations; this matters because revenue missed estimates in Q3.
  2. Check whether the full-year revenue outlook stays at the $18.1 billion midpoint or changes; this shows whether the lowered outlook holds.
  3. Check whether adjusted earnings per share remain in line with the $12.60 outlook; this matters because the company raised that outlook despite lower expected revenue.
