Science Applications International Corp. (SAIC)

Over the past six months (May 2025 - November 2025), SAIC's stock price has experienced a decline, with a notable dip in the past week and month, and a significant decrease of 38.8% over the past year (as of November 8, 2025). As of November 26, 2025, the stock price was $85.69, having fallen by 5.19% in the preceding 10 days. Key events impacting the stock include Q1 FY2026 results with a revenue increase but a net income decline, contract awards from the U.S. Navy and for the COBRA task order, analyst ratings lowering price targets with a "Hold" rating, and insider trading activity by Representative Lisa C. McClain.

Demand for SAIC's products and services is influenced by the federal fiscal year, which runs from October 1 to September 30. Q4 (July-September) sees a surge in contract opportunities due to accelerated procurement processes. Q1 (October-December) involves agencies reviewing past performance and preparing for contract re-competition. The winter period (January-March) can see a slowdown due to "government hibernation." In the spring (April-June), agencies solidify their needs, leading to increased solicitations and requests for proposals.
