The Quality factor evaluates the persistence and magnitude of realized cash flows. Companies with scores >70 exhibit superior pricing power and structural financial resilience through diverse economic regimes.
Our uncertainty rating tracks the predictability of future cash flows and potential for permanent capital loss. Moderate visibility with standard industry cyclicality.
Our model assigns CACI INTERNATIONAL INC /DE/ a Hold rating, with a composite score of 58.3/100 and 3 out of 5 stars. Ranked #856 of 7,333 stocks, CACI presents a mixed quantitative picture — neither compelling enough to initiate new positions nor weak enough to warrant selling. Investors already holding may consider maintaining their position while monitoring for changes in the factor profile.
With a quality score of 61/100, CACI shows adequate but unremarkable business quality. The company reports a return on equity of 11.6% (sector avg: -2.5%), gross margins of 32.6% (sector avg: 42.5%), net margins of 5.5% (sector avg: -0.2%). This suggests the company generates acceptable returns but may lack the competitive positioning or operational efficiency to stand out from peers.
CACI carries a solid value score of 70/100, pointing to an attractively priced stock relative to peers. Key valuation metrics include a P/E ratio of 26.98x, an EV/EBITDA of 16.10x, a P/B ratio of 3.13x. This score suggests reasonable compensation for the risks involved, with potential upside if the market recognizes the stock's underlying worth.
With an investment score of 43/100, CACI exhibits moderate growth-oriented spending. Key growth metrics include revenue growth of 14.6% vs. a sector average of 5.9% and a return on assets of 5.4% (sector: -0.1%). The company appears to be balancing growth investments with capital returns, though the pace of investment may not be enough to accelerate top-line growth meaningfully.
CACI demonstrates moderate momentum with a score of 67/100, suggesting a neutral price trend without strong directional conviction. Revenue growth stands at 14.6% year-over-year, while a beta of 0.40 reflects its sensitivity to broader market moves. Moderate momentum may indicate the stock is consolidating or transitioning between trends, warranting close monitoring of upcoming catalysts.
CACI shows good financial stability with a score of 84/100. Key stability metrics include a beta of 0.40 and a debt-to-equity ratio of 82.00x (sector avg: 0.2x). This suggests manageable leverage and moderate price volatility, making it appropriate for investors seeking a balance between growth potential and capital preservation.
The short interest score of 52/100 for CACI suggests somewhat elevated bearish positioning by institutional traders. Specific risk factors include elevated leverage (D/E: 82.00x). With a $11.8B market cap (large-cap), CACI INTERNATIONAL INC /DE/ may experience above-average volatility. Investors should consider whether the short thesis has merit or if it creates a potential short-squeeze opportunity.
CACI INTERNATIONAL INC /DE/ is a large-cap company in the Manufacturing sector, ranked #0 of 50 in its sector (100th percentile) and #856 of 7,333 overall (88th percentile). Key comparisons include ROE of 11.6% exceeding the -2.5% sector median and operating margins of 9.1% above the 1.3% sector average. This top-quartile standing reflects exceptional competitive strength relative to Manufacturing peers.
While CACI currently exhibits a HOLD profile, superior opportunities exist within the MANUFACTURING sector. Our model identifies several "Strong Buy" candidates with higher quality scores and more attractive valuations among direct industry competitors.

AUDIT DATA AS OF DEC 31, 2025 (Q3 FY2025)
We rate CACI INTERNATIONAL INC /DE/ (CACI) as a Hold with a composite score of 58.3/100 at a current price of $585.68. The stock presents a mixed quantitative picture — neither compelling enough to warrant new accumulation nor weak enough to justify selling for existing holders. Our factors are split, and the overall profile suggests patience is warranted.
The rating is primarily driven by strength in stability (84th percentile) and value (70th percentile), which together account for the majority of the composite score. All factors score above the 40th percentile, indicating no material weakness in the quantitative profile. We assign a No Moat rating (38/100), Low uncertainty, and Poor capital allocation.
Key items to watch: quarterly earnings execution and sector-level competitive dynamics. Any material change in these dynamics could warrant a reassessment of our rating. The moat trend is stable, which suggests the competitive landscape is stable for now.
CACI INTERNATIONAL INC /DE/ holds a top-quartile position (#0 of 50) within the Manufacturing sector, based on our composite quantitative scoring across quality, value, momentum, and stability factors. The composite score of 58.3/100 places it at rank #856 in our full 7,333-stock universe. With a $11.8B market capitalization, CACI INTERNATIONAL INC /DE/ operates at meaningful scale within the Manufacturing sector, providing competitive advantages in distribution, procurement, and customer reach.
The outlook is moderately positive, with revenue expanding at 15% and favorable momentum (67th percentile) reflecting constructive market sentiment. The business shows steady execution, though the growth rate is below the levels typically associated with high-conviction growth stories. Momentum confirmation provides support for the current price level.
The margin cascade tells an important story: gross margins of 33% (-9.9pp vs sector) narrow to operating margins of 9% (+7.8pp vs sector) and net margins of 5.5%, yielding a gross-to-net conversion rate of 17%. This conversion rate is typical for the sector, suggesting a standard cost structure without notable efficiency advantages or disadvantages.
At a current price of $585.68, CACI INTERNATIONAL INC /DE/ is trading near fair value based on current fundamentals. Our value factor score of 70/100 reflects a composite assessment across multiple valuation metrics including price-to-earnings, price-to-book, EV/EBITDA, and price-to-sales ratios relative to both sector peers and the broader market. Valuation metrics are mixed, with no strong signal of mispricing in either direction.
The stock currently trades at a P/E of 27.0x (a 21% premium to the sector median of 22.3x), EV/EBITDA of 16.1x (at a premium), P/B of 3.1x, P/S of 1.5x. The above-sector P/E multiple suggests the market is pricing in superior growth or quality, which our analysis partially supports given strong quality metrics.
Revenue growth of 15% confirms the business is expanding its addressable market — growth at this level typically supports multiple expansion and attracts institutional capital.
A value factor score of 70/100 suggests the market is underpricing these fundamentals, creating a potential margin of safety for new investors.
Positive momentum (67th percentile) indicates institutional accumulation and favorable technical dynamics that tend to persist in the intermediate term.
Even high-quality stocks face risks from valuation compression, competitive disruption, or macro shocks that are difficult to quantify in advance.
We assign a Low uncertainty rating to CACI INTERNATIONAL INC /DE/. The company exhibits strong financial stability with a beta of 0.40, and a stability factor in the 84th percentile. The predictable nature of the business model and solid financial position reduce the range of potential outcomes, giving us confidence in our fair value estimate.
Specific risk factors that inform our assessment include: low beta of 0.40 — while defensive, this may indicate limited upside participation in bull markets. Each of these factors independently widens the distribution of potential outcomes, and in combination they create a risk profile that demands careful position sizing. The stability factor at the 84th percentile and quality factor at the 61th percentile provide a quantitative summary of the overall risk landscape.
Key risk mitigants include: above-average stability (84th percentile) suggests predictable business dynamics. These factors partially offset the identified risks and provide downside protection in adverse scenarios. On balance, the risk-reward profile is favorable for long-term investors.
We rate CACI INTERNATIONAL INC /DE/'s capital allocation as Poor. Key concerns include suboptimal returns on capital. Exemplary capital allocators generate ROE above 20% and maintain conservative leverage — CACI INTERNATIONAL INC /DE/ significantly underperforms these benchmarks, raising questions about management's ability to create shareholder value.
Investors should scrutinize management's reinvestment decisions and balance sheet trajectory before committing capital. Poor capital allocation often compounds over time: overlevered balance sheets limit strategic flexibility, while low returns on capital destroy shareholder value. We would need to see sustained improvement in profitability metrics and balance sheet discipline before considering an upgrade.
In summary, CACI INTERNATIONAL INC /DE/ receives a Hold rating with a composite score of 58.3/100 (rank #856 of 7,333). Our quantitative framework assigns a No Moat (38/100, trend: stable), Low uncertainty, and Poor capital allocation. The average factor score across quality, value, momentum, stability, and investment is 65/100.
Our analysis supports a neutral stance on CACI INTERNATIONAL INC /DE/. While the quantitative profile is not weak enough to warrant selling, it lacks the multi-factor strength required for a buy recommendation. Existing holders should maintain positions and monitor for catalysts — either fundamental improvement or valuation compression — that would shift the risk-reward balance.

We do not assign CACI INTERNATIONAL INC /DE/ a meaningful economic moat, scoring 38/100 on our composite assessment. The ROIC-WACC spread of -2.6% is the primary signal of economic value creation. Current fundamentals do not demonstrate the kind of durable competitive advantages — such as superior returns on invested capital, margin superiority, or reinvestment efficiency — that would protect the company from competitive erosion over the long term. The highest-scoring pillar, growth durability, reached only 15.6/20.
The strongest moat sources are growth durability (15.6/20) and margin superiority (8/20). Rev growth 15%, 11yr history. GM 33% vs sector 43%, OM 9% vs sector 1%. These pillars form the core of CACI INTERNATIONAL INC /DE/'s competitive identity and are the primary drivers of excess returns in our framework.
Areas of relative weakness include reinvestment efficiency (1/20) and financial resilience (6.1/20). Capital turnover 0.75x. Improvement in these areas could meaningfully widen the moat over time, while deterioration would be an early warning of competitive erosion.
Our moat trend assessment is Stable. Multi-year ROIC and operating margin trajectories show neither meaningful improvement nor deterioration, suggesting the competitive position is steady. We expect CACI INTERNATIONAL INC /DE/'s moat profile to remain largely unchanged absent a material shift in return on capital or industry dynamics.
Key profit drivers include moderate revenue growth of 15%. The margin cascade from 33% gross to 9% operating to 5.5% net reveals the company's cost structure and reinvestment intensity. Our analysis indicates that the profit engine is high-quality and likely sustainable, with the quality factor at the 61th percentile.
The margin profile shows gross margins of 33%, operating margins of 9%, net margins of 5.5%. Return metrics include ROE of 11.6% and ROA of 5.4%. Relative to the Manufacturing sector, gross margins are 9.9 percentage points below the sector median of 43%, and ROE of 11.6% compares to a sector median of -2.5%.
The balance sheet reflects above-average leverage with D/E of 82%, revenue growth of 15%. The sector median D/E is 0%, putting CACI INTERNATIONAL INC /DE/ at higher leverage than the typical peer. Overall balance sheet health is adequate for the current business environment.
