# Leidos Holdings Inc. (LDOS) fundamentals

Data as of 2026-09-08. NYSE, United States. Sector: Technology / IT Services. Price $133.05, market value $16.7 billion.

## Valuation
- **P/E (trailing): 12.4×** (5-yr avg 28.3×, 3-yr avg 35.1×). Leidos Holdings Inc. trades at 12.4× trailing earnings, well below its own five-year average of 28.3×: cheap by its own standards. The Technology median in the September 2026 study was 32.1×. Forward P/E is 10.4×, lower than trailing, so analysts expect earnings to grow.
- **PEG: 0.50**. A PEG of 0.50 means the P/E is low relative to expected earnings growth: the market is not paying much for that growth.
- **Price / sales: 0.9×**. Each dollar of revenue is priced at 0.9×, a low multiple typical of thin-margin businesses or out-of-favour stocks.
- **Price / book: 3.2×**. The shares trade at 3.2× book value; book value is a meaningful part of the valuation.
- **EV / EBITDA: 6.7×**. Enterprise value is 6.7× operating earnings before depreciation, the multiple that ignores how the company is financed; below 8× is inexpensive for most sectors.
- **Free-cash-flow yield: 13.0%** (5-yr avg 6.8%). Free cash flow equals 13.0% of the market value, above its five-year average of 6.8%, so the shares are cheaper on cash than they have usually been. Above 5% is generally attractive.
- **Earnings yield: 8.0%**. The inverse of the P/E: 8.0% of the price is earned each year.

## Profitability
- **Operating margin: 11.5%**. 11.5% of revenue is left after running the business.
- **Net margin: 8.5%**. 8.5% of each dollar of sales reaches the bottom line.
- **Return on equity: 29.5%**. 29.5% on shareholders' equity is excellent if it is not driven by leverage; sustained above 20% usually signals a competitive advantage.
- **Return on invested capital: 41.9%**. Return on all capital, debt included, is 41.9%: comfortably above what that capital costs.
- **Return on assets: 10.2%**. Each dollar of assets produces 10.2% of profit.

## Growth
- **Revenue growth (1 yr): 3.2%** (3-yr 6.2%/yr, 5-yr 7.0%/yr). Revenue grew 3.2% over the last year, against 7.0% a year compounded over five years: growth is slowing.
- **EPS growth (1 yr): 20.8%** (3-yr 31.0%/yr, 5-yr 20.6%/yr). Earnings per share rose 20.8%, faster than revenue, so margins expanded or the share count shrank.
- **Free-cash-flow growth (3 yr): 23.5%/yr**. Free cash flow has compounded at 23.5% a year over three years, lagging earnings: check whether profits are turning into cash.
