Booz Allen guidance raises earnings expectations
The updated outlook increases the minimum expected adjusted EBITDA to $1.26 billion from $1.24 billion, while leaving the upper end at $1.29 billion. The revenue range narrows to $11.3 billion–$11.6 billion, with projected growth of 1%–3%.
The company's first-quarter fiscal 2027 guidance, published on July 24, established the earlier annual forecast ranges shown below. The October revision raises expected per-share earnings without increasing the midpoint of the revenue forecast, which remains $11.45 billion.
These figures are management forecasts, not completed annual results. Adjusted EPS and adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP measures that supplement, rather than replace, earnings calculated under generally accepted accounting principles.
| Item | Details |
|---|---|
| FY2027 adjusted EPS | Updated: $6.50–$6.70; previous: $6.00–$6.35. |
| FY2027 adjusted EBITDA | Updated: $1.26 billion–$1.29 billion; previous: $1.24 billion–$1.29 billion. |
| FY2027 revenue | Updated: $11.3 billion–$11.6 billion; previous: $11.2 billion–$11.7 billion. |
Quarterly profit rises despite lower sales
Second-quarter net income reached $181 million, up 3.4% from a year earlier. Reported EPS increased to $1.50 from $1.42, while adjusted EPS rose 18.1% to $1.76.
Revenue fell 3.9% year over year to $2.8 billion. Revenue excluding billable expenses declined by a smaller 0.8% to $2.0 billion. That measure removes costs such as subcontractor and travel expenses, which the company describes as generally lower-margin items.
Adjusted EBITDA declined 3.4% to $313 million. The results therefore show a mixed earnings picture: higher net income and per-share earnings alongside lower revenue and adjusted EBITDA, rather than improvement across every profit measure.
Dividend timetable and premarket trading
Booz Allen announced a quarterly dividend of $0.59 per share, payable on December 4, 2026, to shareholders of record on November 12, 2026.
Shares traded at $81.00, up 3.17%, in the October 23 premarket snapshot. That move preceded the regular New York Stock Exchange session and should not be treated as the day's closing return.
Conclusion
The revised outlook sets a higher adjusted earnings target despite weaker quarterly sales. The next confirmed shareholder date is November 12, the record date for the December 4 dividend payment.
