Upturn Advisory & Investor View for CACI

11/06/2026: CACI (3-star) is a WEAK-BUY. BUY for 10 days. Simulated Profits (-8.10%). Updated daily EoD!

CACI International is a leading government services provider known for its specialized focus on IT solutions, intelligence, and defense technology. The company has a stable business model, benefiting from long-term, mission-critical federal contracts that provide consistent, though periodically cyclical, growth. Key strengths include deep customer relationships in the intelligence community and a robust portfolio of advanced technical capabilities. However, CACI faces risks from heavy reliance on federal budgets, intense sector competition, and a lack of commercial market exposure. This stock may suit growth-oriented investors looking for defense-sector exposure, provided they can tolerate the risks associated with government procurement cycles and the lack of dividend income.

Upturn Scorecard

Upturn Star Rating

★★★★★
CACI receives a 4-star rating, supported by solid company fundamentals, solid quantitative characteristics, and solid analyst coverage. The rating is constrained by weak price momentum.

Company Fundamentals

★★★★★
CACI has solid overall fundamentals (4 stars), with moderate financial health, solid growth momentum, and solid ownership. In FY2026 versus FY2025, moderate earnings growth (+7.2%) and solid cash generation (FCF margin 8.2%) are partially offset by soft profitability (net margin 5.6%), modest insider ownership of 1.17%.

Financial Health Rating

★★★★★
CACI's financial health is supported by solid cash strength, including free-cash-flow generation (8.2% of revenue). Profitability is moderate (3 stars), which helps explain the 3-star overall score.

Growth Momentum Score

★★★★★
Free-cash-flow growth is CACI's strongest growth driver at +62.0% FY2026 versus FY2025 (strong, 5 stars). By comparison, revenue growth (+10.9%, solid) is also solid, while earnings growth (+7.2%, moderate) holds the profile back, so recent growth is not broad-based across the business.

Ownership

★★★★★
Institutional ownership is 104.1% and approximately 99.3% of outstanding shares are publicly tradable, supporting liquidity and institutional participation. Insider ownership of 1.17% provides only moderate management-shareholder alignment.

Unit Economics (Per $1K Revenue)

★★★★★
CACI generates approximately $332 of gross profit, $96 of operating income, and $82 of free cash flow for every $1,000 of revenue. Based on FY2026 results. Soft margins and solid cash conversion support a 3-star rating, while capital efficiency is soft.

Economic Dimensions

★★★★★
Effective Tax Rate: 23.93%

Quantitative Style Profile

★★★★★
CACI has a large-cap, liquid, relatively low-volatility profile. Weak momentum is the primary drawback, while valuation that is moderately attractive rather than deeply discounted.
