Science Applications International Corp represents a hold based on multi-factor quantitative performance.
Our model assigns Science Applications International Corp a Hold rating, with a composite score of 50.0/100 and 3 out of 5 stars. Ranked #2012 of 7,333 stocks, SAIC 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 55/100, SAIC shows adequate but unremarkable business quality. The company reports a return on equity of 25.2% (sector avg: -1.9%), gross margins of 11.7% (sector avg: 44.1%), net margins of 5.2% (sector avg: 1.0%). This suggests the company generates acceptable returns but may lack the competitive positioning or operational efficiency to stand out from peers.
SAIC carries a solid value score of 71/100, pointing to an attractively priced stock relative to peers. Key valuation metrics include a P/E ratio of 10.62x, an EV/EBITDA of 9.15x, a P/B ratio of 2.67x. 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 41/100, SAIC exhibits moderate growth-oriented spending. Key growth metrics include revenue growth of -4.2% vs. a sector average of 6.7% and a return on assets of 7.3% (sector: 0.9%). 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.
SAIC is currently showing below-average momentum at 41/100, which may indicate weakening institutional interest or negative sentiment shifts. Revenue growth stands at -4.2% year-over-year, while a beta of 0.38 reflects its sensitivity to broader market moves. Investors should note that declining momentum can precede further price weakness, though contrarian opportunities sometimes emerge at these levels.
SAIC shows good financial stability with a score of 71/100. Key stability metrics include a beta of 0.38 and a debt-to-equity ratio of 151.00x (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 48/100 for SAIC suggests somewhat elevated bearish positioning by institutional traders. Specific risk factors include elevated leverage (D/E: 151.00x). With a $4.3B market cap (mid-cap), Science Applications International Corp may experience above-average volatility. Investors should consider whether the short thesis has merit or if it creates a potential short-squeeze opportunity.
SAIC offers a modest dividend yield of 1.6%. While the income contribution is relatively small, even a small dividend signals management's commitment to shareholder returns and can serve as a signal of financial discipline.
Science Applications International Corp is a mid-cap company in the Manufacturing sector, ranked #0 of 50 in its sector (100th percentile) and #2012 of 7,333 overall (73rd percentile). Key comparisons include ROE of 25.2% exceeding the -1.9% sector median and operating margins of 7.4% above the 2.5% sector average. This top-quartile standing reflects exceptional competitive strength relative to Manufacturing peers.
While SAIC 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.
