Science Applications International Corp (SAIC) is not a strong buy for a beginner, long-term investor at this time. The company's declining financial performance, negative analyst sentiment, and upcoming earnings uncertainty outweigh the potential benefits of insider buying and technical indicators. A hold position is recommended until clearer signs of growth or positive catalysts emerge.
The MACD is positively expanding with a histogram of 1.18, suggesting bullish momentum. RSI at 67.043 is neutral, and moving averages are converging, indicating no strong trend. Current price is $94.99, near resistance level R1 ($94.357), with potential resistance at R2 ($96.637).
Insiders are buying, with a 162.56% increase in buying activity over the last month. Gross margin improved by 1.50% YoY in the latest quarter. The stock has a 60% chance of minor daily gains based on candlestick patterns.
Analysts have lowered price targets, with Goldman Sachs maintaining a Sell rating and citing government IT headwinds. The U.S. government's designation of Anthropic as a supply chain risk could indirectly impact SAIC's government contracts. Stock trend analysis shows a likelihood of further declines in the next week (-5.7%) and month (-2.16%).
In Q3 2026, revenue dropped by -5.57% YoY to $1.87B. Net income fell by -26.42% YoY to $78M, and EPS declined by -20.66% YoY to $1.69. However, gross margin increased by 1.50% YoY to 12.17%.
Goldman Sachs downgraded the price target to $82 and maintained a Sell rating, citing declining revenue and government IT headwinds. Citi initiated coverage with a Buy rating and a $122 price target, highlighting long-term megatrends in the defense sector. UBS raised the price target to $113 but maintained a Neutral rating, noting uncertainty around revenue growth inflection.
