Short answer:
The news release you provided does not contain any figures for CACI International’s FY‑2026 guidance, nor does it mention the analysts’ consensus estimates or the market’s expectations for those numbers. Because those data points are missing from the provided text, a direct comparison cannot be made from this information alone.
Why a direct comparison isn’t possible with the current excerpt
| Item | Reported in the excerpt? | What we need to compare to analyst expectations |
|---|---|---|
| FY‑2025 actual results (revenues, earnings, margins, free‑cash‑flow, etc.) | Not provided (only a generic statement about “double‑digit growth” and “meeting margin and cash‑flow expectations”) | Without actual numbers we can’t see how closely they matched analysts’ prior forecasts. |
| FY‑2026 guidance (revenue, earnings‑per‑share, operating margin, cash‑flow, etc.) | Not provided in the snippet. | To compare to consensus, we need the exact guidance numbers. |
| Analyst consensus estimates (e.g., Bloomberg, FactSet, Refinitiv, Zacks) for FY‑2026 | Not mentioned. | Without the consensus numbers, we cannot say whether guidance is above, below, or in line with expectations. |
| Analyst commentary or implied market reaction (stock price movement, rating changes) | Not mentioned. | These would help gauge whether analysts view the guidance as “positive surprise,” “in line,” or “disappointing.” |
Because the press‑release excerpt is only a brief, high‑level statement – “CACI’s exceptional performance… delivered double‑digit growth, met our margin and cash flow expectations” – and it contains no quantitative guidance, we have no basis for a comparison.
What would be needed to answer the question fully
Specific FY‑2026 Guidance Numbers
- Revenue (or revenue growth %).
- Adjusted earnings‑per‑share (EPS).
- Operating or net margin guidance.
- Free‑cash‑flow targets.
- Revenue (or revenue growth %).
Consensus Analyst Estimates for FY‑2026 (usually provided by sources such as FactSet, Bloomberg, Refinitiv, S&P Global, or the company’s Investor Relations’ “Analyst Consensus” tab).
Example data needed: “Analysts expected FY‑2026 revenue of $6.8 B ± 5 % and EPS of $8.70, with a consensus operating margin of 12.5 %.”Consensus Range vs. Company Forecast
- Compare the company’s numbers to the mean, high, and low ends of the analyst ranges.
- Highlight whether the guidance is above, below, or in line with the consensus median.
- Compare the company’s numbers to the mean, high, and low ends of the analyst ranges.
Contextual Interpretation
- Discuss how the guidance fits relative to FY‑2025 performance.
- Note any changes in guidance direction (e.g., upward revision).
- Discuss how the guidance fits relative to FY‑2025 performance.
Market Reaction (if available)
- Post‑release stock price movement (e.g., +4 % at open).
- Any rating changes or comments from major equity research houses (e.g., “Morgan Stanley raises its price target on the back of the higher‑than‑expected FY‑2026 outlook”).
- Post‑release stock price movement (e.g., +4 % at open).
How to proceed
If you have access to the full press‑release, the company’s investor‑relations website, or a financial database (e.g., Bloomberg Terminal, FactSet, S&P Capital IQ), locate the FY‑2026 guidance numbers. Then:
- Pull the latest analyst consensus table for CACI (ticker: CACI).
- Tabulate the median, high, and low of the revenue and EPS forecasts.
- Add a simple “Guidance vs. Consensus” table.
- Supply a short narrative summarizing the gap or alignment, and note any market reaction that was recorded in the news wire or subsequent trading activity.
Bottom line: The excerpt you provided does not include the necessary guidance figures or analyst expectations, so a direct comparison cannot be performed based on the information at hand. To answer the question accurately you would need the specific FY‑2026 guidance numbers and the current consensus analyst estimates. If you can supply those details, I can produce a detailed side‑by‑side comparison and explain the implications for investors.
