Company outlook confirmed

Share price after the results: −2.8%

Parsons narrowed its 2026 guidance within the prior range, revenue $6.25 to $6.45 billion and EBITDA $510 to $515 million, operating cash flow unchanged at $430 to $490 million.

Supporting passage from the call, verbatim
“For fiscal year 2026, we now expect revenue in the range of $6.25 billion to $6.45 billion and adjusted EBITDA between $510 million and $515 million. While Q3 cash flow was strong, we are maintaining our operating cash flow guidance range of $430 million to $490 million due to the uncertain geopolitical environment.”

The outlook is not part of the score and not a recommendation to buy or sell.
