Science Applications International Corp. (SAIC) Prices $500M Notes to Refinance 2028 Debt

What happened

Science Applications International Corp. priced $500M of 6.75% senior notes due 2034 at par. It intends to use the net proceeds to redeem all its outstanding 4.875% notes due 2028. The closing is expected around Nov. 13, 2026, subject to conditions.

Confirmed

Global impact / market context

The new notes carry a 6.75% interest rate, higher than the 4.875% rate on the debt being repaid. That means the company may pay more interest each year, which reduces profit, unless other terms offset the difference.

Analyst inference

This is a refinancing deal that pushes out debt maturing in 2028, not a change to the company's operating outlook. The final effect on total debt and yearly interest costs depends on the offering closing and the redemption terms.

Analyst inference

What to watch

1. The offering closing is expected around Nov. 13, 2026, subject to conditions, and the planned redemption of the 2028 notes depends on that closing happening. Confirmed
2. The company plans to redeem all 4.875% notes due 2028 with the net proceeds, which means replacing cheaper debt with debt carrying a 6.75% rate. Proposed
3. Watch whether the higher interest rate raises yearly interest expense enough to reduce profit, since the released details do not give the final redemption terms. Analyst inference
