Defense contractor rebounds with major Air Force contract and analyst upgrades
Leidos Holdings rose 3.00% to $196.97 in premarket trading on March 19, 2026, recovering from an 8% post-earnings decline following Q4 earnings, supported by a major contract to modernize the U.S. Air Force's Cloud One platform for accelerating secure cloud deployment. The company maintains a Moderate Buy consensus from analysts with 8 out of 8 analysts recommending buying the stock, and the average 12-month price target of $212.46 indicating approximately 7.8% upside potential. The strong defense contractor fundamentals and government contract wins support continued recovery momentum.
