Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about Science Applications International Corporation stock:

• 1. Cowen and Company analysts commented, "Q2’s ops miss, SAIC’s third in a row, coupled with near term margin pressure suggest." (9/8/2017)
• 2. According to Zacks Investment Research, "Science Applications International Corp. is engaged in transaction, technical, engineering and enterprise IT services business. The Company provides services in two segments: government segment and commercial segment. Its government segment servers primarily to United States federal, state and local government agencies and foreign governments. The commercial segment provides technology-driven consulting and systems integration services and solutions. Science Applications International Corp. is headquartered in McLean, VA. " (8/16/2017)
• 3. Seaport Global Securities analysts commented, "With $4.5 billion in sales SAIC is one of the largest pure-play government service providers/technology integrators. Further, SAIC's competencies in national security, training and simulation map well to the new presidential administration's desire to increase readiness. SAIC's broad exposure to the budget as a technology integrator therefore offers a hedge against any one shifting special purpose program. SAIC's portfolio composition is also evolving towards a higher content of "outcome" solutions, where federal customers desire a specific capability or new innovation vs. traditional pure integration services. Outcome solutions provide both longer tail revenues as well as higher margins. We believe that SAIC's low-margin supply chain portfolio has bottomed and will be less of a drag going forward. Therefore, SAIC's base case long-term growth assumptions include low-single-digit growth and margin improvement of 10-20 bps annually. With the government as SAIC's primary customer, cash flows remain strong (FCF = ~100% of net income). However, expectations for increased federal spending have been at least partially factored into SAIC's valuation, which is near a peer high of 12.6x NTM EV/EBITDA. While increased defense spending is clearly a priority for the current administration, there is an element of risk as to the exact funding mechanism/timing of increasing budgets. Therefore, while we expect volatility as budgets are ironed out, ultimately, we believe SAIC's core growth, margin improvement, and portfolio transition make it attractive. We initiate coverage with a Buy rating and $93 price target." (2/16/2017)
