Booz Allen Hamilton (NYSE:BAH) is a management and information technology consulting firm, primarily serving the U.S. government in defense, intelligence, and civil markets. The company competes with firms like Accenture and Deloitte. On October 24, 2025, Stifel Nicolaus set a price target of $106 for BAH, suggesting a potential upside of 15.97% from its trading price of $91.40.
Despite this optimistic outlook, BAH's stock experienced a significant decline, dropping 8.6% by late morning after reporting disappointing fiscal Q2 2026 earnings. The company reported an adjusted profit of $1.49 per share on sales of $2.9 billion, missing expectations of $1.51 per share on nearly $3 billion in sales. This miss contributed to the stock's decline.
The company's GAAP earnings fell to $1.42 per share, a 53% decrease from the previous year. Adjusted earnings saw a decline of less than 18%, while revenue decreased by 8%. Booz Allen attributed these weak results to a "continued funding slowdown," which was not related to the government shutdown that occurred after the quarter ended.
Despite these challenges, Booz Allen's national security portfolio showed solid growth. However, the civil business faced difficulties, contributing to the overall downturn. The stock for BAH is currently priced at $91.40, reflecting a decrease of 8.89 points or approximately -8.86% in percentage terms. During the trading day, the stock reached a low of $88.12 and a high of $96.13.
Over the past year, BAH's stock has seen a high of $190.59 and a low of $88.12. The company's market capitalization stands at approximately $11.26 billion. The trading volume for the day is 8,341,547 shares on the NYSE, indicating significant investor activity following the earnings report.
